Yup its me again. The man with way to many problems. Anyways in my family has a total of 3 different computers. 1 I just bought for myself. My moms. And then my sisters. My sisters coputer is the worst. I think it has about 20+ viruses. Or something like that. Anyways I rarely use it unless I want to use Photoshop(Dont ask why I put PS on that computer) anyways I went to go on the internet and all this weird stuff started happening. All these new ICONS started appearing on the computer. So I did what I thought was the smartest THING to do. I deleted them. Then I went to add/remove thing and removed them from my computer. Well after about 30+ minutes of battling with all these random things appearing on my computer I went to go on the internet. Well to my suprize its not working anymore. I double click on the IE icon and when its all done loading up I get NOTHING. And at the top of the IE think it says SOMETHINGS like syntax error. Does anyone know whats wrong or how to fix it?nice tale of woe> but what is the  operating system with the problem?Please Read This First - Viruses & Spyware

Install the programs recommended. If you are certain it is infected with '20 viruses; , why did you not run a virus scanner?I've run spybot and ad-aware pretty much once a week on the thing. It never gets rid of the stuff on my computer. Like I have this thing called Winka and other stuff, if you want to know all I can post them because I got a list on a piece of paper. I actually just found a good site that was trying to help me get rid of all my viruses and stuff but without the internet working on the computer with the problem I dont think I will be able to do anything.


But my problem is now, I cant ever start up IE. I have Win. 95 on this computer. The computer cant read anything. I tryed logging onto AIM and it says there is no connection.



What if I restore a LAST save thing? Do you think that will help? also if I do that, how would I do it and how would I be able to get back to the main screen with all my icons?http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=242191 it may or may not apply to you?  i guess you have tried safe mode start windows normally? f8 key on boot..

When I am on the internet and on a website if I open a new page,it won't close out. I have been doing control+alt+delete and end task. But then it closes the internet explorer.
I have no clue what it causing this.

Please help.
Scan for viruses, trojans and spyware.I found ad ware and removed it,but it didn't solve the problem. It only does it on line. When I work off line on my computer it will close out. Is there some setting that I am overlooking?
Thank you
AmyWhat Operating SYSTEM and what version of Internet Explorer are you using?
Corupt internet explorer...TRY the REPAIR option...control panel add/remove click with the mouse  the version of the internet explorer you have then click the add/remove button...options will APPEAR to repair etc... 
Thank you Merlin!
I had to uninstall old IE. Then download new one. Works great now!!!
That was driving me nuts!!! Thank you,Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to all that replied I really appreciate it!!
Amyi have the same problem. i reinstalled countless times and it still doesn't work. when i try to go to windows updates internet explorer just freezes on me so i cant get SP2I have seen that happen on illegal versions of Windows XP.

Do, by any chance, have a copied version and/or product key/activation key?

I cannot down any file from the internet.
When I try to down load, I see the file folder and the information sheets GOING into the folder, but then it goes off and then comes back. It appears to be flashing the file folder on the screen, when this happens I cannot do anything with the computer it completely locks up. The only way to stop the flashing is to turn the computer off for a few seconds. I have checked for viruses and spy ware but cannot find any. PLEASE as anyone got any ideas what to do to fix this.

YorkyWhat OPERATING system are you using?Hi.
I am using windows 98 second edition.

are you using IE6?yes I am using internet explorer 6.0options are remove ie6...from add/remove section in the control panel...or repair ie 6...click on ie 6 in the add/remove properties box...then click add/move buttton and splash screen will appear with options...and if you have firewall re-configure your settings ...

I'm having trouble at work with PEOPLE trying to access two web based programs at the same time. When a transaction is made in one of the programs the other closes out. Is there some sort of setting that will allow them to have both programs up and functional at the same time??is this using remote access?I think one of the programs uses remote access.info>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q300/5/46.asp&NoWebContent=1 rl......heres a little tip.....tell them to open the first site in a explorer WINDOW ....then minimize that site and open up the next site in ANOTHER explorer window......that way you can have more than one site open at at time.....if you do it the way they are ...as soon as they put in the ADDRESS for the second site ...the first one closes......
This should GET them back on track

When I type http://www.gmail.com the URL changes into this https://gmail.google.com/?dest=http%3A%2F%2Fgmail.google.com%2Fgmail

It works the same and there's nothing wrong, (Just in case you start thinking WINDOWS XP is throwing a mutiny again, MERLIN   ) but I am just curious as to why it would do that.maybe the website script?   and if you pc does a mutiny...will you walk the plank It's quite common PRACTICE for webmasters to do that sort of thing. Often, it's simply a redirect to a specific version of a site (say, if Flash or Javascript is not detected, it would put you to a HTML and Images only version). They sometimes also use this to show referrer information etc.

Another thing webmasters sometimes do is BUY multiple domains. In this case, I think Google are hosting this on gmail.google.com but, quite rightly, spotted that it wasn't exactly the snappiest URL. So, they bought gmail.com and simply pointed it at the original server.

The latter part of the URL to me looks like a bit of validation or verificaction of some sort. An additional security measure, perhaps? Quote

The latter part of the URL to me looks like a bit of validation or verificaction of some sort. An additional security measure, perhaps?

The URL is a simple redirect. Hover the mouse pointer over it and look at the status bar.

Everytime I start up or REBOOT my computer. Internet Explorer opens. I have a dial up modem so it is not an active internet connection at start up.  I have IE version 6.0 and Windows 98.  I have checked my windows start up FOLDER and there is nothing there for IE.  HELP!Click Start, RUN, type msconfig, click the system start tab and SEE if Internet Explorer is checkedTHANK YOU!!!!!

and ive ran many adware/spyware/antivirus programs and NONE see ithelp me please.....Perhaps you could tell us ......what you have been using to scan with ?
Has this situation just started ? What operating system are you using ......and is it IE6 ?

Trojan.Win32.Revop.d
AdClicker-O

Hello,
Explorer has stopped working on my PC running Windows 98. Illegal OP message, will close etc. Then when I hit the DETAILS button I get this message: IExplorer causes an invalid page fault in module MSVCRT.DLLL at 0167:7809ZF3"
Have INSTALLED a newer version of IE (6) and problem persists. McAfee got RID of some adware but no help.
I'm really stuck and can't even browse my machine. I am pretty ignorant about Windows system.
Anyone know anything about this?

Hi All,

My first post and I am not too "computer-literate" so please GO easy!

I have been tearing my hair out for over a week now TRYING to fix a problem without success.

I have a number of internet gambling (uk bookmakers) accounts which I can no longer access because whenever I try to "log-in" I get the message "This page cannot be displayed" and I can find no solution to overcome this problem!

I have spoken to PEOPLE who claim to know about these things and followed their suggestions which have included checking/lowering my "security SETTINGS", turning off my "firewall" running programmes like Norton Anti-virus, Ad-aware, No Adware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Registry Mechanic but NOTHING solves the problem! It is driving me NUTS!!!!!!!

I never had any problem until just over a week ago. Unfortunately I do not have exclusive use of the computer and have shared access with 3 other users but none of them can shed any light on this. Indeed they too are frustrated because apparently they can no longer sign on to MSN Messenger.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone out there HELP??

Thank You!Forgot to say I have also already tried the following advice but it didn't work either!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Tools - Internet Options (IE 6.0) and empty your File Cache, Cookies and History.  

Or

Start -> Settings -> Configuration -> Internet Options

And empty your File Cache, Cookies and History.

If that does not work, go to the Advanced tab and set your Internet settings to default.  


There's no way to tell that it's your computer unless you either format and reinstall Windows or try to log in to the webpage on another PC.

I need HELP! When i try to go into a secure connection as in hotmail the internet disconnects!  What setting do i change?
Cheerscheck your FIREWALL SETTINGS ?and try setting ie to .tools/internet options/advanced TAD...

I had recently "cleaned up" my computer and regularly run AdAware, Spysweeper and Norton Anitivirus PROGRAMS (I also clear temp. internet files) with a good degree of success. However, over the last week, web pages are taking forever to load, especially those on Yahoo.
 I've run my virus and spyware programs and nothing comes up as suspect. Is there anything else I can do to get to the root of this problem? I'm clueless...any error messages like 404 page cannot be displayed..what internet connection is used 56k adsl cable?..what o/s/..and what ie browser is used.?.more info hopefully more solutions..Sorry--I use Windows '98 on a cable modem and I believe Internet Explorer 6.0.
I don't get many error messages like the one MENTIONED, but have started to get alerts for internal programs on my HP which say they will be shut down. Also, some pages are not re-setting when I return to them. Sounds like a hidden virus that can't be detected, to me.  
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'll tell you as much as I know. Not much of a 'tech-ie", here...ok its your choice but i have seen so many people using win9x and IE6 with problems it a joke...try this >http://www.wilderssecurity.net/bhblaster.html and download this also if you can it may come in handy>http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/   added to reply>http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q220902youknow what helps too is going to control panel > internet options> and dleete files and clear history... and have you checked for errors and defrag'd lately?Webpages may take longer to load because you may have cleaned your temporary Internet files folder. If you have a slow connection, you will notice the difference.

To Raptor--  I thought clearing out temporary internet files was something one should do to optimize the best browser performance.
  Slow it down?DELETING it will save Hard Disk Drive space, but it will also force your browser you download certain files, such as photos, again which it could normally access from the Hard Disk Drive.

This should only apply to very slow connections or slow WEBSITES.

I have a BUG that shows up on many pages that I view. It looks like an image with a bad link. More details on what it looks like are in this screenshot: http://www.geocities.com/mschardt2003/bug.JPG. (the red circles around the box.)
When I right CLICK on the square and click properties the window shows this: http://www.geocities.com/mschardt2003/properties.jpg. Another thing I found out about this code is that it adds itself to a page. I know this because I viewed the source code of my website and found the address for it. I deleted it and saved the page. I then refreshed the site in the browser. It was still there. It's becoming really anoying because it messes up the layout of the page and makes it look all ugly, especially since it's effecting both of my own webpages. I've tried searching on the internet for this bug, but couldn't find anything. Any help would be great. My specs are Windows XP with IE 6.
Michael......Does this occur on all pages? When did all this start? Does this happen on all images or just some?
Had you downloaded anything just prior to this happening ?
Have you checked to be sure you haven't lost your Sun systems java. Could it be an active X issue .... If you suspect its a pest.....what do you USE to scan for those .

let us know

dl65 It doesn't occur on every page, but it does occure on many of them. I recently noticed that it occcurs  on bith my desktop and notebook computer. It started about a month ago or so. It is only that image, but I get that same image on several different page including my own.Scan for spyware.

Have you reset your Internet settings to default yet to see if that has any effect?

Michael......Do you share any files with both your laptop and desktop....? Is it possible to post a link to any of   the pages that you cannot view properly.....? The fact that you have this issue on two pcs suggests that you MAY have some pest which is causing the problem....Do you ever have them networked or connected to the net via a router or hub ?

let us know

dl65  My spyware software is Spy Sweeper. My laptop is connected through a Linksys router. I don't share anyfiles between the two computers. The links that I've noticed the bug on where as follows:

http://www.altavista.com
http://www.lycos.com
http://www.geocities.com/mschardt2003 My site.
http://www.geocities.com/mschardt2003/knightrider/frames.html. My 2nd site.

I'll post more sites as I discover the bug on them.What if you use a browser such as Mozilla Firefox?I installed firefox, but the bug still showed up on the same sites.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q283807 Michael....Strange ....I just tried the links you posted....3 of them WORK fine .......the lycos site doesnt ......Perhaps its down for some reason .......I checked it on another pc with the same result.

let us know if you find a solution to your issue.

for some reason i CANT see my picture on my profile in GAMES it says URL not found on this server but it was there the other day help me Why would you want people to see your picture online...? That'll remain a mystery to me..

I think you're better off E-mailing Yahoo since we're in no WAY AFFILIATED with them..?

New computer XP Home sp2 pre-installed. In OE cannot reply to or forward emails. Get message " OE has encountered a problem and MUST close" Is this something to do with SP2?  I've been searching for days and cannot get help.

Can anyone here supply any help?http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q329570 it may apply  also check the firewall  in sp2J. Mohnachev.....given that your pc is new.....have you ever been able to SEND a Email or just receive?
It almost sounds as if your Outlook Express mail account isn't configured correctly or it may not be selected as the default Email program.......Are you using a new ISP or is it one that you had previously?  Check to be sure your outgoing server (SMPT) is configured correctly.
To check these ..open outlook express.....click ...tools ....then select accounts then click on the "mail" tab and click "properties" check both the Incoming and outgoing server settings.....( these are provided by your server)
let us know how you make out.

dl65  Hi Merlin 2,

I'm not sure if I am replying correctly, I have disabled  SP2 firewall, I use ZoneAlarm Pro.  I also allowed attachments and this doesn't make any difference, I am still being told that  "OE has encountered a etc ..."  Hi dl65,
Yes I can send and receive MESSAGES no problem also send attachments, I haven't received one yet though.

I have another computer (stand ALONE, not networked) with XP Home SP1 with EXACTLY the same set up or options and can forward and reply with no problem. ISP was the same( long story, I am using the old pc with a free offer from a dsl isp that I received with the new pc) OE is the default email on the new pc too. Checked with the isp to make sure it's configured correctly. But since I haven't seen anyone else with this problem I'm OBVIOUSLY doing something wrong.

Thank you and Merlin_2 for your attention to this problem.Hi merlin_2 & dl65, this may be too late to be of any help. But it had to be re-formatted and XP and SP2 re-installed on the advice of the store technician and he did it!
This solved the problem. Sorry for the delay but I
couldn't deal with this until last week.

Thanks again for your efforts.J. Mohnachev.....Glad to hear your problem has been resolved.. I'm curious , did you receive a original copy of Windows XP home edition as well as the cd with windows SP2 on it from the dealer you bought the pc from?
let us know

I'm running Windows ME and recently upgraded to IE6. EVER since IE6, I've had some browser windows open only to the size of a postage stamp and then I must click maximize to get the page to expand. This is not true for all pages, however. I'm very new to computing and may need more experience even before posting to this forum... this is my first question in any forum. Please... is there a simple REMEDY?
Muy Muchas Gracias! Quote

t now wont let me get into my main c drive. It says there is a error and hat i have to repair it. So if i cant get into my main drive, does that mean i have to reformat the whole c drive and possibly lose everything?

Excellent,

Thanks for the insight... any freeware pop-up blockers avail. out there?

Brad

RAPTOR,

I read somewhere that IE is necessary for Windows updates. Can you switch between browsers if need be? Does Firefox take up a lot of hard drive space? Does it allow you to visit and view as many websites?

Thanx!

merlin_2,

I've got Spybot, Ad-Aware, AVG6, Zone Alarm, IE Privacy Keeper, CWS Shredder, Highjack This and Ace Utilities. Will Secretmaker interfere or be incompatible at all?

BenI have windows XP and I'm having exactly the same problem as Malecio with yahoo.  And buttons from some other pages don't work.  Also, when I try to use the Search option from the start button a window pops up and the dog is there but there are no search options.

This might have something to do with it, but here's what I was doing before it happened:
Around that time I had just recently downloaded the new Service Pack and Microsoft Spyware Program Beta.  I also have Adaware 6.0 and Norton Antivirus.  I think I was doing a scan with one of the first two programs and a window popped up saying that something happened with Norton Antivirus so it needed to be reinstalled.  So I stopped the scan and I uninstalled Norton.  However, when the computer restarted to finish the job, my adaware 6 popped up mentioning Samantec and a change to a registry value .  I accidentally clicked the button to block it and everytime I started the computer afterwards I got a script error.  I did something to try and remedy it and the popup stopped coming up, but I still have the problems I've stated.

I think Ben's remedy might work but I just want to make sure b/c I've messed around with the computer too much already.Just tried to do system restore too and when I click on the icon, NOTHING COMES up.

When I go on certain SITES and the page is downloading, a message in a box comes up as Program has performed an illegal operation and will be SHUT down. Invalid page fault in module NETSCAPE exe.
What can you do to stop that coming up, it GETS to be so
frustrating when you have to continue to start the page all over again. So if anyone knows what I am talking about please help, it very MUCH appreciated.It sounds like your file: "netscape.exe" has been corrupted... Try reinstalling Netscape...

Hello, everyone.  I have a quick question.  Many TIMES, when I am on a webpage that has links to mpegs, the webpage will disappear whenever i click on the link to play the mpeg.  The mpeg still plays however, in media player although the site where I had gotten it from is no LONGER on my screen.  Can someone explain to me why this is the case and can I do anything about it?  Thank you!!It sounds like you have your 'puter SET to open new links in a separate window, this is fine. Take a LOOK in your Taskbar at the bottom of your screen and SEE if in fact both the webpage and the media player are both showing there. If so,  clicking on the webpage should bring it back to the top.

My 2½¢

i recently had some spyware which included a toolbar and was called Maxifiles.  I appear to have REMOVED it.  However, now when i go to view , toolbars, EVERYTHING in it is grey and unavailable apart from one thing which is 'text labels'.  I can't even unlock the toolbars, so i can't add or remove toolbars from view and i can't arrange them.

also, in internet properties, the 'HOME page' area is all GREYED out and unavailable, not ALLOWING me to change the home page address.

thanks for your helpplease can you help me?

For some reason the ADDRESS bar where you type in the URL is gone and it wont come back up.  I tried clicking on view>toolbars>address bar and checking it, but nothing happensTylerS....When you click "view" / "toolbars " .......does the address bar have a tick in front of it ?
you dont have the ful screen option on do you ....try pushing the F11 key .....
What operating system are you using

Let us know

dl65  yes theres a tick next to address bar, no im not in full screen mode, and whats an operating system?Your address bar may have gotten tucked up under the toolbar. Slowly move your mouse/pointer to where the address bar should be and then move up slowly. When your pointer turns into a double-headed arrow click/hold/drag the line down a bit and see if your address bar appears.

If the pointer doesn't change to the  arrow, you may have your toolbars locked.

My 2½¢thank you so much that was it how STUPID of me LOL.

when i double CLICK on the INTERNET explorer icon the internet does not open.  The only way i can get to the internet is through WINDOWS explorer and it is extremely slower than usual.  i have tried to open it with other methods and it doesnt work.  please help.  scan for trojans etc.....or try a IE repair....what o/s is this ......wxp...type IEXPLORE in run command and try to open it

For the past week, I have been having frustrating problemns with my computer. I use Internet EXPLORER, and lately it won't allow me to use my yahoo mail, webshots, xanga, or many other sites. Someone suggested I try a spyware/ad removal THING, so I did, and got rid of all the spyware and cookies. But the problem still remains. That same person said it was my BROWSER. If so, how do I fix this problem? It's very frustrating and I want it to stop now!!C'mon you guys, someone please answer me QUICKLY! This is really frustrating and I want to save time and MONEY by not asking someone local. I want this taken care of now! Please?? :-)Read this:  http://www.winxpcentral.com/basics/secure1.php

My problem is that EVERYTIME I try to connect to the internet I get an INVALID PAGE FAULT in Module KERNEL32.dll and the program closes.  It was working just fine two weeks ago.  I have checked the MODEM and it seems to be working fine since it allows me to connect at login.  I have also del TEMP files.  i will re-run defrag & scandsk & virus scan 2nite.  I am an online student so I'm dead in the water w/out this!! PLEASE HELP!!

Can you run a Windows Update by GOING to: http://www.microsoft.com ?

[glb]Flame[/glb]There are too many reasons for IPF's to list here. Try this site:

"since I have re-installed it 2x's now!!" .........what do you mean its 2X's now ??

let us know

dl65  thanks for all the suggestions.   :)Since I cannot connect to the internet I won't be able to access the website referenced.  I have done uninstall/reinstall on my Win98se cd 2x's.  I was finally able to get scan disk to run & defrag over the weekend.  Now when I connect to the internet it says "Dialer caused an IPF in module...." so I am going to assume that my dialer is fried.  I am at a LOSS.  I guess I will just have to fork over the $$ to have it looked at.

Hi everyone,

I am going to try to bring this up one more time...

Since about two weeks ago now, I can not bring up IE using icons on my desktop. The only way I can get it to come up is to go to my desktop and right click on "My network Places", then go down to "explore". When the list in the folder comes up, I can double click on IE there and it will come up. This tells me my program is not corrupt (which, by the way, I have uninstalled and REINSTALLED at least 3 times trying to fix this problem). When I double click on the icon on the desktop, it makes the sound as if the program is opening, then it immediately makes the sound like it is shutting down. Nothing ever pops up or anything. It just immediately tries to open, then immediately closes.

I have done every scan that I have seen everyone suggest to check for hijackers, trojans, viruses, etc., etc.

I have also done all the checks on my system settings as people have suggested in my previous posts. Everything has been set the way you all have told me to set it.

I have Windows 2000 Professional. I have not installed anything onto my computer in the last few months - so I know this is not a result of any new installation. Actually I have done nothing different than usual. All of a sudden it did this!

The reason I am grasping for a solution again is because in the past 5 days or so (since I posted my first post on this site), I have had over 10 people e-mail me privately saying that they too have recently had this problem with not being able to open IE from their icon. So something is going on! I searched the microsoft site as recent as last Friday to SEE if I could find an announcement about this problem. I didn't find anything.

Also, I do not know if this will help - but if I open more than one IE window, I can not go back and forth from window to window from the toolbar icons. I have to minimize each window and then I can pick whichever window I want to maximize. It is all too time CONSUMING and FRUSTRATING!

So all that to say that I am still looking for help from you guys and gals that are brilliant at figuring thses issues out. Like I said before, I am by no means even close to an expert when it comes to computers. But I can follow directions if anyone has any more ideas. I would GREATLY appreciate it!

DJHave you contacted your computer manufacturer about this issue?

[glb]Flame[/glb]No, haven't contacted the manufacturer. I wouldn't think that would be the answer since this computer is at least 3 years old and has worked fine up until now. Plus, I continue to get e-mails privately from others saying they are recently having this same problem as well. So I would think this has to be some sort of "infection".

DJ :-/

I am about to go nuts over this problem. I can not open one website. Everyone else who tries it on their computers can open it; I've opened it on a different COMPUTER. But, on mine all I get "the page cannot be displayed."

I am using Windows 98 2E, DSL (through Earthlink) and IE 6. Earthlink has had me try so many things, I can't even remember them all. I have no idea if it's the result of something I downloaded. I have run Spybot and Ad Aware and AVG VIRUS and Trend Micro Virus. I have no trouble with any other websites, just this one.

This is the address of the website: http://home.earthlink.net/~lvopr8r/loop/

Can someone please help?

someone got my debit card # and purchased a BUNCH of stuff on the net. i have the ip address from where the purchases were made. can i USE that to find out who did this?
THANK's,
Mikemike_96_ws6....If I were you , I would give that information to your local police ...they have all the resources to track down the perpitrator .

Hope this helps you.

dl65  Good luck on busting the criminal! Dl65 is right... Take the information to your local police station... They can track him/her down...

[GLB]Flame[/glb]i called the local police who reffered me to the FBI who reffered me to a secret service agent. i called him but got an answering machine. he hasn't returned my call yet. maybe tommorrow. i'd like to nail this crook.

:)Hello,,i am hoping someone can help,,
I am having problems on IE,when i try to open a 2nd windown/page,my first page closes automatically..it seems i can have only web page open at a time.
I have ran all the neccessary programs,anti-virus,ad-aware,etc.I have even cliked on "tools"-advance tab-& cliked RESTORE defaults internet settings."that did not work.
please help
wanda


wanda gross....Here's a little tip that just may RESOLVE what your trying to do ......If you have one page open and you want to open another........minimize the one your on ....then open another browser window.......go to wherever you wish and the first page is still open ...just minimized .....If you wish to FOLLOW a LINK off the first page ....click the link and then use the back button when you want to return to the first page ....
Another way you can do the same thing is if your on the first page and there's a link to another page....right click on the link and select open in a new window .

Hope this helps you .

dl65  hi,,thx,but even when i do minimize the first window..it still closes.and the second one remains.It is only allowing me to have 1 web page opened at a time.The other users on the computer,however dont have this problem.

IE SEEMS to be able to find a local copy of recent pages even when refresh is hit.
where is it storing them?
clearing history and hitting DELETE files on the internet options PAGE doesn't do the trick
they must be hidden somewhere
anyone know where?chris holland....Have you tried emptying the Temp Internet files ?
What operating SYSTEM are you using ?
let US know

dl65  Also, try clearing your computer of Spyware...

My INTERNET explorer refuses to open any web pages, I always GET a 'page cannot be displayed' message.  My internet connection is fine - I can connect to msn messenger and open web sites using msn explorer.  I tried changing all sorts of security options, but nothing SEEMED to work.  I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me with this issue.Do you have a firewall installed? It may be blocking Internet Explorer... Try adding Internet Explorer to your safe list of software...

[glb]Flame[/glb]I disabled my firewall, but it still refuses to open any sites.  I think the problem probably arose when I deleted a file from the REGISTRY that norton antivirus said was a risk to my computer. thanks anyway.My com. is doing something similar, everytime i open internet explorer my anti-virus picks up a virus that causes a pop-up to say that there has been an error, and every time my virus deletes the program causing the problem it is re-created every time i open the internet, but ive found that if i open multiple windows of the internet the pop-up doesn't appear, but i cant live like this forever, HELP!!!!use firefoxBack-up and restore to earlier date and then download updates to i-e

???Just recently I got a new tool bar called TheSearchMail.com bar.  I have no idea how I got it, but would like to eliminate it.  I can right click the tool bar and can unclick it from showing, but it always comes back the next time I USE the browser.  It does have buttons that are directed to X-rated sites.  Does anyone know how I can completely eliminate the bar?  Also, the first time I use the browser, it rediects me to a PORN site of spyware site - any suggestions? - SteveSteve Michaels.......What operating system are you using ?   Have you looked in your control panel .....Add/remove programs to SEE if it shows up there ...if it does ....remove it .

I have a Dell 8100 that is about 3 YEARS old. Recently I have been RECEIVING the following 2 messages. I have 512 ram, 40g hard DRIVE and using Explorer 6.0

loadqm must close

Computer runing low on resources and must be shutdown. this message appears after I have been on the computer for 10-15 minutes. I receive the message even when I have only 1 window open.

Thanks for any helpYou can check out the info at this site:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309418

I wouldn't DISABLE it though, since it's tied in with the Windows Update feature.

Good luck.

I downloaded and installed IE7 at the weekend. It seemed to work fine but ever since, I get a message to run CHKDSK at every re-boot/startup and an error message re "You have no paging file or the file is too small….."

I have tried updating the settings for Virtual memory via the control panel but no changes seem to be saved.

I have tried booting into Safe Mode but the screen APPEARS stuck, does nothing and then re-boots normally (there does seem to be a lot of hard disk activity though so I wonder if it's ALSO running CHKDSK). I just can't see what's happening off the bottom of the screen.

When my PC does finally start up, I'm getting errors with nearly every program I try to open, although I'm not really SURPRISED about this. I have uninstalled Internet Explorer and that has made no difference.

Please would someone be ABLE to offer me some ADVICE on how best to sort this problem. The next thing I intend to try is a restore (if Windows has created a restore point for me) but I've not done this before so I'm not that confident it will solve all my problems.

Many thanksHow about telling us EXACTLY how you accessed "settings for Virtual memory via the control panel"?  What are the current settings?

How large is your hard drive?  How much free space?

Help!! The problem: When I am attempting to type an e-mail, the computer seems to refresh an wipes out all that I have written. I have been unable to figure out how to resolve this problem. As such, I have RESORTED to constantly copying me EMAIL so when it inevitably HAPPENS I don't have to start all over.

Your help would be appreciated royc...Is this something which has just started ?   What O/S are you using ? Does this HAPPEN if ...say your using say MS word ...?
Does anyone else use the pc in question ?

Let us know

dl65  
No it has been going on for a time. I use windows XP and I initially thought it only happened with my email program but this is the 2nd time I have written this

Thank you

When i click  a link in IE it does not OPEN IE just flickers.

The burner i am using can detect cd's with data on it but cannot detect blank cd's. It SAYS incorrect function.Ok.... First, where are these links? In a E-Mail? Also, for your burner, have you tried reinstalling any drivers for it, or running a WINDOWS Update by going to http://www.microsoft.com ?

[glb]Flame[/glb]The links were to images from a website. When i tried updating on windows it gives me an error. i checked microsoft about the error but it DIDNT cure the problem. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the burner and it does the same thing.Have you tried contacting your coputer manufacturer about this? Also, do you have antivirus software installed?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I tried but they want me to buy a restore disc and stuff.I dont wanna do that if i can fix it myself with the aid of FRIENDS.

Hi, my lan is CONNECTS fine, but the internet will not work or anything that needs a internet CONNECTION, could this be a virus. I have a hijack this log if anyone wishes to see it.Well, if the computers are NETWORKED, then you need to setup the internet connection seperatly if I am right... Are you using one of the computers as wireless?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Sorry, its my Local Area Connection. It connects at 100mbps fine, it just WONT load any web pages, online games etc.

I am not too sure on the setup. Infront of me is a eTEC ADSL MODEM, which is connected to a ZyXEL Internet Security Gateway. I know this then connects to my dad's office 40 miles away, and the connection here is just used for Internet.

ThanksDo you have a firewall installed? It might be preventing you from using Internet Explorer...

[glb]Flame[/glb]

I use IE 6.0.2900    I tried for a few days MOZILLA Firefox, but was unhappy and uninstalled it.  I had a little trouble getting IE back running but I think its running OK, except links in emails don't work.  Any ideas?
LennyagWhat are you using to see the E-Mails? Outlook express, etc.? Or web-based E-Mail?

[glb]Flame[/glb]My web based account gmail works fine, but outlook express doesn't.  Have you tried running a Windows Update by going to http://www.microsoft.com ?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Yes I've RAN the windows update.  I've also gone on the microsoft support site.  there's a question Q281679 that states "You cannot open a new Internet Explorer window or nothing occurs after you CLICK a link"   I've most of their ideas short of re installing IE.   I really don't want to do that.
Well.... Try CONTACTING your computer manufacturer then...

[glb]Flame[/glb]Thanks for the replies.

When surfing the net and visit sites, some of them have super large fonts and others MINUSCULE, what causes this?  In some the lettering is so big ( ) it's uncomfortable to read, in others is so tiny   () that I have to strain to read what they SAY.  How can I make adjustments to this, if at all?  Thanks.Fonts, colors, graphics are determined (mostly) by the web SITE you visit.  You have some control how it is viewed.  In IE6, select VIEW--Text Size (5 SIZES to choose from).You can always adjust it.... Click View -> Text size... Next, select a size that is good for you...
