Hi, I have 2 problems with teh interweb.
firstly, my homepage (www.msn.co.uk) keeps being hijacked by www.search2web.com and I have no idea how to stop this.
secondly, I cant get MS Outlook to recognise my web-based hotmail email account. I go on tools..email accounts..Add account... HTTP account...type in all my details inc. password, email address, username and I then chose hotmail as my HTTP service provider..and Voila! 'connection to the server could not be made (www.msn.com/hotmail/blahblahblah/etc.etc :the server is offline mode')
*censored*??!
I signed in through www.hotmail.co.uk and suprise suprise, I logged in without incident
if we're being honest though, I didn't really know what i was doing...

When scrolling on internet explorer the SCREEN does not move smoothly, but jumps as you scroll down. The same information keeps appearing over and over and it moves very slowly down.josie01...... Is this something that has just started ?
What O/S are you using?
Check your mouse it may be the cause .

dl65  Are you trying to scroll before the website has fully loaded?
IE>TOOLS>Internet Options>Advanced>Tick Use smooth scrolling.What does it do Fed,

I have tried checking/unchecking it.
No effect.It works for me, I can see an obvious difference.Like ...Some like it smooth, some like it rough. Mine computer is genious.  

It has the best thing WHETHER you tick it or not.   Quote

Mine computer is genious.  

It has the best thing whether you tick it or not.  

When scrolling on internet explorer the screen does not move smoothly, but jumps as you scroll down. The same information keeps appearing over and over and it moves very slowly down.

Clicking the box that says smooth scrolling does nothing.  We are using windows Xp.  This is something totally new. Just had my computer in for service as it was pointed to wrong modem and couldn't get on the internet. When I got it back it was messed up in the scrolling. The whole screen appears every time you try to scroll using the arrow or the touch pad and it is like it is in slow motion. Guess I will just have to take it back to get fixed again. It is useable like this, but very annoying.

When i am not connected to internet,
if i want to view previously visited (while i was online) web pages ,
i can do this by selecting  file menu -> work offline
and then go to the history folder and visit the DESIRED pages.

But through this process, I have seen that certain pages open and  certain pages  do not open.
what' s the reason for some pages not opening??You may not have downloaded all of the contents for offline viewing.

I never make use of this function, SINCE I have cable, but if I were you I would select 'store as' so that you are certain it downloads what you are looking it.[size=16]Hi

For some days there are lots of thunder and rain in my locality.

As some devices of my cable internet service provider are destroyed due to this

they are often closing the internet connection and disconnecting the network

and again GIVING the internet connection 10 or 12 HOURS later

In these times i have to view offline.[/size]

I tried to watch internet video from my computer but icouldnt get through. It keeps searching but nothing comes to the screen. I tried watching www.godnetwork.com and yahoo MOVIES. What do i do to fix this problem?What operating system are you using? How do you connect to the internet? What browser are you using? Do you have a firewall installed?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I use windows XP. Yes i connect to the internet. Yes i have fire wall installed but i think it was uninstalled when someone was trying to help me out, and still it did not work.Ok. How do you connect to the internet? DSL? Dial-up?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Have you blocked Windows Media Player with your firewall? Are you using the Windows XP firewall?

Quote

Yes i have fire wall installed but i think it was uninstalled when someone was trying to help me out, and still it did not work.

I would not quite call taking down someone's security helping

How do which firewall im using. What do you suggest i do?

My COMPUTER works fine and we can access Instant Messenger and all computer programs, but if we try to access Internet Explorer, we get an "Illegal Operation has occurred" box and when you click on the box, the screen turns black.  Then if you want to access anything, you have to reboot.  We have noticed that if we have Instant Message WORKING, you can still use that as it stays on the screen, but the background is still black and the start keys and other keys at the bottom of the computer are still black.  Any suggestions? :-/Virus scanners

when i try to download large files they don't complete.
i.e: tried downloading a 250MB file but the download ended at 120MB.
whats with this? if someone could help.
i have comcast high-speed internet. if that helps too...... Well , perhaps you could let us in on what sort of file you are (were ) trying to D/L ? What operating system are you using ? Have you EVER been able to D/L a file of that size before ? Is the site you are trying to D/L from a reputable one ?
Are there any limitations as to the amount you can D/L from imposed by your service provided?
Perhaps the file you were trying to D/L was incomplete or corrupt.

Let us know and possibly we can assist you .

dl65  the file i'm downloading is a avi file. i'm using windows xp. no i haven't been able to download that size before because it does what i explained before. its reputable site. no limitations from my service provider. think that answers all the questions..... So your d/l always stops at 120 mb or just that one ?
Are you trying to D/l a movie by any chance ? Is this file coming from a p2p source by any chance ......?

Do you get any ERROR messages ?

I'm not being NOSEY , but you SEEM to be very tight LIPPED as to what it is your trying to d/l ...........The more info you can provide the easier it is to find a solution.

Have you tried to get the file using a download manager ?


dl65  well it stops at random i guess. yeah its a movie file. no i'm not using a p2p program. no error messages. i was being tight lipped didn't think it mattered.
i've downloaded adobe photoshop which is 170MB so i dont get it.The source may be bad. If this only concerns one file, do not bother looking into it.

maybe comcast has pegged your downloads.........over use of bandwith! just a though.no it happens to every large file i download. like when the download stops and the movie file is incomplete i can still watch it just not the whole thing.Are you trying to stream?

The transmission may be timing out.

I don't know what the problem is.

First of all, I am running Windows 98 and IE 6.

     RECENTLY, I have been unable to open certain LINKS that require a new window. When I click on these links, my computer temporarily freezes up. There is no error message it just freezes and doesn't open.  I have tried to right-click and open in a new window and that doesn't seem to work either. Most of these links are javascript which might have something to do with it. I have tried re-installing IE 6 and running the repair tool.

I have no idea where to go from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Any help?

I accidently landed on some scum spam site and now every
time I use my control key to access a link on a webpage this other site pops up with their stupid directory.

Then I have to hit the back button on top of the pop up to
access the web page I originally wanted to see.

I can not figure out how to get this off my computer or off
my control key feature.

Can anyone give me some advice on this annoyance?

Thanks,

PeterWhat website is this? Use Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. I can visit any website (with few additional security features) and never obtain any spyware or accept more data than I need. And yet I can get everything done what IE can?

I have 3 user accounts on my system. Me , my wifes and a guest account. When were logged in to my wifes account and try to access any video over the Internet I GET a window pop up telling me IE encountered a error and needs to shut down. This does not happen on the other 2 accounts. They work fine. I tried adjusting all the setting I COULD think of. What could be causing this only one one account. I am Firewalled, have virus protection, pop up blocker and anti-spy ware. I ran scans on everything and shut everything down. This didn't help.AXEMAN, I'm going to save you time and frustration... Switch browsers... You will be much happier... Personally, I like MSN Explorer (free). YOu can download it here... http://www.download.com/MSN-Explorer/3000-2104_4-10119669.html?tag=lst-0-6 ... I use a different version, but this one works just as well.... Also, here is a more popular browser called Mozilla Firefox (also free). You can download it here... http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ ... IE is probably the worst browser around. It may never get fixed...  :-/  Try switching.  

[glb]Flame[/glb]Exactly what kind of protection do you have?I have Cox Security Suite which is provided through my provider Cox High Speed Internet. Authentiem is the company that provides the service.I agree with Flame...switch browsers...

but if you don't want to do that...

all I can ask is:  What version of IE is installed?  Is it up-to-date?  Version 6.  Yes it's up to date. Quote

I have reciently INSTALLED an internet system on a different computer.

I do have system "virus" protection but couldnt tell you the name of it.  It tells me that Explorer has performed an illegal operation and will shut down. I can not delete the program cause I can not get into the system.

...Exactly what is this? This program is not related to Microsoft and I doubt it is related to Packard Bell?
...

Here is the message I RECEIVE "the connection was refused when trying to contact so and so address"  

I never had this problem till bellsouth changed some things on the computer.  They have yet to fix the problem.  Basically anything that requires a login I cannot get access to.  Examples, hotmail, hushmail, ebay, toyotafinancial, and my schools blackboard.  I really gotta get this problem FIXED cause I have an online class this semester.  I know the basics on the computer so if anybody has any ideas how to fix this problem that would be greatly appreciated.  1.

I cannot uninstall Norton, it wont let me

Since most schools use IE they put on a third party system which is downloaded opnto the browser but doesn't come with it. Download IE 6 on your home computer and put it on a floppy so you can put it on the school computer. Uninstall IE on that computer completely then put in your floppy and upload IE 6. The reason this works is because it reinstalls IE and it doesn't have the filter on it anymore. Please don't do this to look at porn or any of that sick crap, just to go to sites that the filter unfairly blocks.Wow, power to the SPOTTY teenagers who are oh-so oppressed.
Ever think those filters are on there for a reason? Also, if the school is using Windows XP Professional, I don't think it will work, becuase students will have a "student account" which is "limited", meaning that you usually can not install any rograms, or go into the program files... One more THING... Most schools have it where whenever the computer shuts down, and starts back up, it brings back all the settings that the school had before a student went on it... So your idea would probably only work for a day if you are able to tamper with files...

[glb]Flame[/glb]It's healthy to try & beat the system, better than being a sheep. Quote

just to go to sites that the filter unfairly blocks.

What you're doing is wrong, Ghost, and you have failed to impress us.

Since this is their property, and they are allowing you to use it, there is nothing unfair about what they choose to block or allow. You might do well to remember that this is not your computer you're goofing with.

If you want to make your own rules, get your own computer.

What you're doing is wrong

It will be good if you learn somehting.

In all honesty I would do something else to try and impress you. But don't you get it? They don't block special sites. First off, any site that doesn't have its own domain name is automatically cutt of. All invision free fourums. Even some educational sites. The point of this is to not look at porn to impress freinds on school comps but to help myself and others.

I just got xp and it does not have alexa related. Why? I used it often.. Do not want the tool bar just related bar How can I get the related bar ?Alexa is spyware. Remove it.

Hi

1)Ihave READ that SEARCH engine like google uses spider or crawler to search database
and in that case, is the spider itself verifies the content of the site and rank it accordingly?

2)in yahoo directories  are sites ranked by human being?

So in this condition most people should LOOK for directories
for getting reliable INFORMATION about various sites ( specially business sites)

thanks

I have two problems, one regarding my Home Page(MSN) and the second is a Proxy Server setting.
re: the Home Page. The window REACHS the 2 items remaining and does not reach the done notation. This does not appear to be too much of a problem , more of an annoyance.
re:Proxy Server. My computer is a stand alone- no Lan settings (I think).  The computer operates normally and I can visit several web sites until I receive the "This page cannot be shown---" message.
When I GO to the Internet Options/Lan settings, the Proxy Server option has been changed and is now marked. The default Proxy Server option is unmarked on bootup.
I don't know what is changing this setting while i am web surfing. This is getting very tiring. I've search KB's and read various forum question/answers hoping to find an answer to this problem. Can someone help?Is your computer clean?

http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/spyxposer/com/spyxposer_principal.htmSorry.This problem has been bugging me and I should have included that I have AVG,Spybot and AdAware. I have not found the answer there.Decide which thread you want to keep open, then go to the other thread & leave a message advising the thread remain unanswered so it can fade away into cyberspace.
Much better results will be achieved.OK, this is the thread.

I asked you to click on the links above because I had no idea what if any virus & spyware protection & scanners you have or if they are up to date.

I've found not all scanners find all problems but if you get through Panda (online up to date) then you are PROBABLY clean.

Ewido is another very aggressive scanner but you need to read the screens because if you blindly click delete you may remove one of your own 'toys'.

No DOUBT you also have Hijackthis but did you know that proxies show up in the Hijackthis logfile?

If Panda gives you a clean bill of health then run Hijackthis and look for proxies.

Do you run your Spybot Teatimer locking down IE?

What Operating System?
W2k or XP then you should download, update & run Microsoft Antispyware too. It's a very good program.

Do you have a Firewall?Thank you FED for your input. I now have a definite direction to procede instead of wandering around aimlessly. I will post the results of my adventure when I have something to report. Again, thank you.It's good to start problem solving with a clean level playing field.

How do I prevent my Lan Settings(proxy Server) from ACTIVATING while I am surfing the INTERNET.
I am the sole operator  of my computer therefor  I am not NETWORKING. When I first turn on the computer and check the Internet options/Lan Settings the Proxy Servers is unmarked. Internet Explorer works normally and I can change web sites  until the  computer hangs up and I receive the   "this page cannot be shown----" message.
When I check the Internet Option/Lan Settings again  the Proxy  Server has now been changed and is marked. Unmarking the Proxy Server  allows me to use the internet. I am getting tired of the resetting. Can SOMEONE OFFER a solution to my problem?

Recently, I've noticed that none of my desktop shortcuts work as well as some links to the internet. I recently let my DAUGHTER install AIM on the computer and hate to tell her that I think AIM is CAUSING this. I don't like AIM. It seems to want to take control of my computer.  Please help.
I am running XP Home and use IE.Well, this can be caused by a number of things... Do you have virus and Soyware protection? What are you using? Have you made any chnages to your system recently? Also, despite what you may think, AIM is not trying to take over your computer. The worst it does is give you a pop-up when you start it... What makes you say that it is taking over your computer? Also, this could be Internet explorer acting up... The botom line is, nobody likes IE... Switch browsers to Mozilla Firefox... You will be much happier    Download it here... http://www.mozilla.org/ ... Keep in touch...

[glb]Flame[/glb]I ran Norton Antivirus, Spybot and Adaware. I had a few adwares, but nothing major. I haven't made any changes to my system. I hate AIM because it STARTS even after I went to the Start-up page (in msconfig) and opted for it NOT to turn on when I boot up my computer. It added an AOL toolbar (which I deleted). It changed my homepage to an AOL site (which I changed back). Although, most of that is probably my fault for not watching my daughter closer when she installed AIM. She probably just clicked "YES", "YES", "YES" everytime it aked her. LOL
But I guess I'll try Firefox. I hear a LOT of people like it.I just switched to Firefox and made it my default browser. All my links and shortcuts now work again.  

So long Internet Explorer!   Are you able to open any site with IE Quote

Hello.  I have a problem with the FONTS on various web pages.  All of a sudden they are very tiny; I know they should be larger as there are several sites I visit daily and have noticed a HUGE change.  What can I do to fix this?  Some of them are so small they are difficult to READ. No other fonts (like on the desktop, etc.) have changed.

click view on the top  taskbar.......click text size.......normally medium.........and of course some sites do have little fonts........it was how the webscript was written?Oh that was so EASY! The last time it happened we did the whole system restore thing.  I feel pretty stupid.    My next question is why would that have changed on it's own?  

Thanks so much for your help!Maybe a virus/or an update from msoft.......if unsure scan for the net nastys........or if future if you have winxp.....hold down the f8 key on boot -up and from the on-screen list......chose the last good config from the list.....by using the arrow keys from your keyboard.....You can also change the size by holding down the Ctrl key & scrolling your mouse wheel at the same time.
Very handy for badly written web pages.Wow Fed,

I haven't noticed that thing.

A handy ONE, indeed.

p.c gone really, really slow when online. Running windows xp with avg/spybot/zone alarm fw.
Task manager shows  100%usage.
I've noticed that iexplore.exe is listed twice.

iexplore.exe       cpu=79       mem usage  11,160k

i.explore.exe      cpu=00       mem usage= 32,960k

Is this any cause for concern?MAKE CERTAIN the scanners are properly configured.

No point in using a firewall if you let everything through.

If so, turn that off until you get this resolved. You know the rest of the usual drill - check for adware, spyware, clean out temp files, ETC. then try again. The advice to be hooked up to the internet before starting the install itself is a good one.

IE 6 won't play mpg.  I'm running Win2K with SP4.  I've tried both WMP6.4 and 9, same thing happens.  When I left click, I get ERROR MESSAGE (EXCEPTION c0000005) and WMP shuts down.  If I right click, save it, and play it from hard drive, WMP works fine.  (So it is not a codec problem).  How to fix?  I want to watch STREAMING videos, not save them all the time.  Problem does not occur in Netscape.

How can you set the BUFFER time in WMP 6.4 ?

Thanks!The problem is the Main Concept mpeg codec.  It messes up Media Player so it won't stream mpgs.BTW, what this?

I know this is a topic that has been brought up before.  What my question is though is do I need to clean my registry?  When Im online my computer starts to act very slow like after only visting only one or two sites.  I then need to log off and log back in only to have to do it again in a little while.  I recieved a pop up saying my registry needs to be clean.  Well I did the scan and it came up with 400 problems, but WANTED 29.99 to fix them.  Is this a scam or something I need to do and if I do are there any free ones out there?  I have a dial up connection, windows xp, I run scans from norton internet security and ad-adware like twice a day or I really have the problems.  A big thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me.   Virus scanners

Kudos to Raptor.

Can i upload a batch FILE to a site.

I have tried so far but failed.Which site.How do you want to achieve it, a downloable element, or what?I want to upload a batch file as a .BAT extention... to any site... which OFFERS FREE hosting.

Is it possible?I don't think so.

Since .bat files are executables, the firewall or the scanner will disallow them.

Hey, I am smelling something fishy here.

I'm on a fitness products website. When I click on "Buy It", I get a blank SCREEN instead of seeing the item posted in the shopping cart like what usually happens when you buy an item online. At the bottom right of the page, there is a red TRAFFIC sign "Restricted Site." When I RIGHTCLICK on it, it tells me the site is blocked (just the shopping cart part of the site). So, then I GO into Internet Explorer, change all of the privacy settings to allow all cookies all of the time by anybody, re-boot my computer, delete all cookie files, all temporary internet files, all history, etc. , but still when I go back to that shopping cart I always get the message that it's a restricted site!  What's going on? Can anybody help with this problem?[size=24]What are you still using Internet Explorer for? Get Mozilla Firefox[/size]

How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP

Description of the Internet Explorer Repair ToolGood to be back, ain't it Rap.   Just like riding a bicycle - it all comes back !!!! Quote

Good to be back, ain't it Rap.  

I need someone's help figuring out how to set my Internet Explorer's Explorer BAR (View menu) to show MEDIA.  Currently the only options are Search, Favorites, HISTORY, Folders, etc...  but no media.
Does someeone KNOW how to do this or at least find Media?????HELPopen up IE

go to the view menu

then Exploer bar

then click media


R0SSRight click on the explorer bar & select customise.The Media bar is unavailable on Internet Explorer 6 for Windows NT 4.0
The Media bar depends on the Microsoft® Windows Media™ Player, which is not available for the Windows NT 4.0 operating system. Therefore, in Internet Explorer 6 for Windows NT 4.0, the Media bar is not available to users. Also, on the Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog box, the Don't display online media content in the media bar check box in the Multimedia area does not work.

Which OS are you using.

If its NT, above is the hint.

I cannot acess www.photobucket.com nor can i see any of that sites hosted images. i have turned all my settings back to default and my EZ firewall is turned off. I really need help badly since i had all my pictures on photobucket.

I either get a page saying this

Please try the following:

Click the  Refresh button, or try again later.

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
If your Network Administrator has enabled it, Microsoft Windows can examine your network and AUTOMATICALLY discover network connection settings.
If you would like Windows to try and discover them,
click  Detect Network Settings
Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.
If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.
Click the  Back button to try another link.



Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer  




And i cannot switch Internet providers so please dont suggest that i really need help thank you.......Sounds as if it is not just photobucket having problems, based off your MSN search error. I tried accessing photobucket and had no problems.  Therefore I would assume it is one of the below issues.

1. You're Internet service provider is having issues with their DNS server, which resolves the names of all the addresses on the Internet. UNFORTUNATELY something like this could only be determined by contacting your ISP.

2. Firewall or other security settings on your ROUTER or software programs installed on your computer is causing pages to be blocked. Sounds like you've disabled your firewall so my only other suggestion would be to disable any other security programs such as your virus scanner (programs like Norton have their own firewall), Windows XP firewall (assuming you have windows XP), etc.

3. You're encountering browser issues, either the browser itself is BAD or you have Spyware or ranother browser add/on the computer causing issues. To help determine this issue you may want to try an alternative browser such as Firefox (http://www.firefox.com)1. Start

[glb]Flame[/glb]thank you for the quick RESPONSE. i didnt know what else someone could see but i feel lots better now.Think about it.

Your IP is known because the request was sent from your ip to the website.
Your Server is known because the request was sent through your server to the website.
Your browser is known because it was your browser that sent the request.

The first two can be 'hidden' by using a proxy but there is no point unless you move on the 'dark' side.   Quote

thats the funny part, i am through a proxy and my true ip is showing through such as on www.danasoft.com - I am using direcpc 2-way satelite. Most sites such as http://www.pcflank.com/ where i go to test my firewall tells me that i am behind a proxy and cannot attempt to connect directly to me. But others can,thats what i was getting at. "Dark Side"sometimes i feel that way, lol. But the darker we can get the more secure we shall be don't ya think?  

:-/ I use internet explorer and when I try to view web pages, it seems that more often than not I cannot view the whole page, I have to TOGGLE the bar at the bottom of the screen to view the left and right sides of the page - but what really twists my frame is that when I try to print, the entire right-hand side of the page is cut off.  Can anyone help me fix this problem?  If it matters, I'm using Win XP home edition -

You might try increasing the resolution ( screen size ) and see if this resolves your issue.
