I have used Yahoo Mail for years but recently the response has become very slow with MANY ADDS appearing. Is there anything I can do about this?Most likely you have a malware problem if you have not been keeping on top of the problem. Go here , carefully follow the directions and POST the 3 required logs for analysis and cleaning by a malware specialist.Thank you karmac. I have gone to the malware removal and done what was suggested up to step 3. I have Windows 98 and SuperAntiSpy and Malwarebytes will not operate with it. I COULD not do Step 6, the Java update, apparently for a similar reason. So I did not attempt Step 6. Ok, you'll have to post this problem for evilfantasy to see in the virus forum as he may not see it here. EXPLAIN as you did above and he or Super Dave will help you out.

Very good. Thanks for the information. QUOTE from: I Shooter on November 19, 2009, 12:39:23 PM

The only problem is all my e-mail is no longer STORED on Embarq site it is now on my computer. I liked it on there site. If somethng went wrong with my computer I would still have my mail on there site. Is there a way to have it in both places?

I have two folders that have turned into dtapart FILES.
I don't know of any thing that I did to make this happen.
Is there any way to change them back or open the files.
I have tried to use VLC player  but they won't open.
This is what the FILE turned into. When I downloaded it it only had the info to the avi
I have tried to erase the numbers but they STILL won't open.
I may have downloaded some of those files with "Down Load Them All" but not all of the changed files

ShaniaTwain-ImGonnaGetchaGood.avi--(61078884-4090-92eb-6550caf11fb8).dtapart

Thanks for any helpIt looks like a partial download, using "Down Load Them All".
If it's partial download, it won't open.Its not a partial download, I have folder with hundreds of files that I have viewed many times. I do not know why this folder changed, other folders within this folder did not switch to dtapart files.

Thanks for your replyyou mean you've viewed this file before? is that the only file that changed?All of the hundreds of clips have been viewed before, avi, wmv, zip formats. They all switched to dtapart files and I can't veiw them anymore.Did you try to rename any of files, you know for sure, you played them before?Go through what rename them means.
I have changed the file by eliminating the numbers and ADDING avi or wmv and WINDOWS says do you want to rename I say Yes. Is this correct and what you mean? They still wont open. Quote from: Broni on November 05, 2009, 10:08:39 PM

Okay this is getting really annoying. I have XP, on a laptop running firefox(latest) and everytime I visit a webpage, it acts like its loading, but if I leave it it never loads. But...if I hit f5 a whole bunch, or Alt-D then Enter a couple of times it finally loads. Ad when it does LOAD, it's fast.

But everytime I first visit ANY page it just doesnt load. And sometimes after pages have already loaded, the loading circle in the firefox "tab" still "loads". It's really wierd and annoying. I have high speed internet and my PC never used to do this until recently. I did have google chrome before and it started doing this, so I switched back to firefox because I thought it was the browser.

But its still doing it with firefox!! Please help, its so frustrating!!What happens with IE?

And you SAID this started recently. What happened just before the problem arose (new hw, sw, virus, error, etc)?Uninstall Chrome...
Re-boot. Quote from: patio on November 21, 2009, 04:20:15 PM

Uninstall Chrome...
Re-boot.

I have recently formatted hard drive and reinstalled XP

What was the reason for it?

Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?

Yep.

And Yes I am certain, I didn't even do it myself, I took it to a computer services place to do it 

Hello,
I am using IE8 on Windows Vista and everyone i go to search for something I get a notice SAYING INTERNET Expolerer has stopped working. It doesnt seem to matter where i search, It happens with yahoo,google,bing,amazon.

Thanks in AdvanceThere is a site about ie8 closing on MICROSOFT homepage. Just search it on microsofts homepage(if possible). Quote from: Vikken on November 24, 2009, 05:13:42 AM

I used to use Internet EXPLORER but changed to Firefox when I had a crashing problem with IE and I could not get ADVICE on how to fix it. I have managed to fix it in recent days. I would like to stick with Firefox now. I just reinstalled Firefox 2.0.00.20 and it crashed. I will reinstall Firefox 2.7 as I cannot recall that version ever crashing. I will advise what happens. thanks for the suggestion.I reinstalled Firefox 2.0.0.7 but it also crashed. I then went back to Firefox 2.0.0.20 and it has crashed so often that I am now using Internet Explorer. I would like to get back to Firefox as I have bookmarked many pages. I expect  it is a problem that is easily fixed but Firefox Help people have not been much help because they no longer support Firefox 2. I have had no RESPONSE from the Firefox Forum.Try this version...Thanks for that suggestion, PATIO. I uninstalled Firefox 2.0.0.20 and then downloaded firefox 2.0.0.17 It would not instal. however. There was a message that access was denied. I do not know how to overcome that.Thanks rthompson. I am now using both FF 2.20 and IE. I suspect FF crashed only when I was using Yahoo Mail. I will check that out and report back.I am still having the problem. It has occurred 5 times in the past two days and each time it was when I transferred to Yahoo Mail from another SITE. However, it does not always crash when I go to Yahoo Mail. I will continue to kkep a log of the crashes to see whether there is some consistent symptom.I'd consider switching to GMail...
With all the fluff yahoo has added to their mail site over the last 6 months i rerely if ever use it anymore...Thanks for that suggestion, patio. I have saved many posts to Yahoo Mail folders. I expect these can be copied to Gmail folders if I change.I have tried to run Profile Manager for 98 using firefox.exe -Profile Manager but I get the message that FF is open, when it is not. I have shut down the computer and re-booted. That makes no difference. The crashes are still occurring.

Well, as long as you keep IE as the default browser you should be fine. You can uninstall the msn browser if you like.OK, I'm TOTALLY confused on this one (which is not uncommon).  I've always viewed MSN as more of an AOL type of service.  Until today I've never heard of an MSN browser.

MSN doesn't use IE as it's browser?  That's not exactly a vote of confidence.

How do you get to MSN without a browser?  Is this a DIAL up service?MSN uses a shell of IE....the same ...only different 
 I wanted to try to delete the the MSN browser but I am not sure how. I can go into Add/Remove programs but it just lists MSN without any more detailed options. I also tried in Set Program options and DEFAULTS to select IE as my default internet browser but the selection returns to "Use my CURRENT Web browser" as soon as I exit. I also tried that in IE tools. I am the PC admin and I also rebooted with no success. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
SteveWhen you are in Add/Remove Programs you want to click on Add/Remove Windows Components.  You can find and uninstall it from there. Ok, I found it in Windows components. Will deleting it change the look of my screens and tool bars? Currently when I access the net through MSN I have to use a password. If I go directly to IE I don't need a password. Will I still be able to go through the MSN portal? I have a kid at home and like to use some of the MSN parental controls. If I delete it and don't like the results, how can I put it back?

Thanks,
SteveAre you using IE now? Are you happy with it? Then uninstalling MSN broswer will not affect anything. Quote from: MarshSt on November 10, 2009, 01:51:02 PM

I realise this mustr seem a bit feeble but I need to change my password in outlook EXPRESS but I cannot figure out how!

You will gather I'm no EXPERT!!!

I've looked at the help screen but it refers to "main identity" or something which means nothing to me.

Problem: Slow Page rendering
1. Increase the connection limit. This tweak allows IE to make up to 16 connections per server.

Explained here: http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=2448 and here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q183110 (M$ link concerns IE 6, but you got the idea).

It doesn't apply to Vista anymore, since with one of the updates, M$ dropped the limit.

In your first post, you said:so this is what my advice was for.

Also, in Vista "MaxConnections" are already set to 10.

I have those entries in Vista, but it's possible, I added them and I simply don't remember.
You can safely add them.

Win XP Home 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090804-1435: SP3

I am on Version 7.0.5730.13 Internet explorer with just the blank google
search page, a while ago it kept hanging whilst loading and searching. So
after looking on the net I disabled Google toolbar and I.E was mostly itself
again

My problem now is whilst it loads much quicker (around 10/15 sec from start
off and a few seconds to open a new window), it keeps stalling and hanging,
amongst the faults are not loading a window and not loading after clicking
on a link, some times it just does not "see" the link at all when you HOVER
the curser over it, i.e the info does not show up in the bottom left hand
corner and therefore it does nothing if you click on the link (probable
because I.E has frozen in this window by then), and sometimes when clicking
on a link or opening a new window - it TAKES a few seconds to start loading
the green progress bars and then they load slowly one at a time until they
get to the middle (around 3/4 bars) and then stop. Sometimes when a window
has loaded although I can use the page, I notice that the green bars are
still showing - sometimes all of them but sometimes less than all, as THOUGH
it has not fully loaded.

earlier to day I visited my fav' climbing forum as normal "with
add-ons" browsed the forum from one sub-forum to the next, from thread to thread
for an hour,  then on and off for ten minutes here and there during the
day - no real PROBLEMS don't think it "hanged" at all. (also in OE sent a
few emails and recieved - perfect - never any probs in OE)

But!!!!  Tonight I have OPENED two separate IE windows both running
"without" add-ons both with different web sites - both are other forums that
I use, both pages have "hung" they are both just sat there.

One has, in the bar at the bottom... a yellow sheild with an "!" in it then
"Waiting forhttp://www.*********( the last link I clicked on - the link to
my profile - this always hangs up ), and 5 green bars in the progress
window.
If I hover the pointy hand over another link then the URL at the bottom
changes to suit but does not move to the next page, when the curser is moved
away again the URL reverts back to as before.

Same on the other window - clicked on link to move to a sub forum and it
hung striaght away - same sheild ...... same 5 green bars. (other times when opening another IE window or clicking on a link (either in the google list or link on web page) the green bars appear and very slowly increase up to three bars and just stop

Whilst these pages are hung and with hardly any lights on my broadband router         ( just one flicker now and then ), I have sent a test email to myself with a jpeg piccy attached, and it sent straight off - green lights on the Router going ten to the dozen.
Any ideas as to what is happening.

Hello..

Just a little question
Why is it that when you add a particular web site to the TRUSTED sites zone, you sometimes get.
"unknown zone (mixed)"  Could be a number of things - an ad banner on the page LOADING (which is obviously not in your trusted zone), etc. In any event, it's nothing to worry about. Quote from: ALLAN on December 04, 2009, 06:06:37 AM

I'm using WindowsXP and a while back I upgraded to Internet Explorer 8.
I would like to go back to Internet Explorer 7. 
Would someone please GIVE me step by step instructions on how to do that?

Why would I want to do that?

I've been having a lot of problems with ie8 running super slow, hanging up, freezing, ect.  When I open Task Manager there are TWO iexplorer.exe running, using a LOT of memory!

I posted the problem in the virus forum several days ago but got no replies.

However a google SEARCHED revealed the following:

Anyone noticed that in WindowsXP, IE8 runs TWO iexplore.exe in Task Manager?

The first process can use up to 80,000K of memory and the second copy can use 16,000K. I feel like 96,000K is a lot of memory for IE, especially when a friend who has Windows7 says his IE8 only uses 5-15,000K.

At first I thought it was MALWARE because it was using so much memory. I exhausted myself running all KINDS of scans to get rid of it only to realize it was IE8 itself. I was informed recently, it's because of the the Tabs feature and crash recovery. When I uninstalled IE8 and went back to IE7, the problem stopped.

Just something interesting that might save others the frantic search to root out adware. I suppose the bottom line is DO NOT USE IE8 on WinXP

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

"Hawk"Follow the instructions for your operating system from this link

What is http://click.w3i.com ?
A GOOGLE search says it has something to do with FREEZE.com and it is in Firefox.
But I thought I gut rid of the Freeze thing.
It COMES up when a site is down or my connection is bad.
But it is alwasy irritatining. I go PLACES I don't wanna go.

What is the right way to get rid of it.I'd suggest going to the malware forum.

Long / short

New puter HP Pavillion Dv6, Win 7 (love it) and it keeps asking me if I want to upgrade to IE8 ?

On the fence but it seems to be problematic judging from some of the threads here.

Think I should leave well enough alone and stay with what I have.

And you folks think..........1) It's not problematic
2) DOWNLOAD and install it. If you don't like it you can always uninstall it

This really isn't a major decision I thought Windows 7 had IE8 preinstalled...

Anyway, I agree with Allan, take IE8 for a spin and see if you like it. If you don't then you can always go back to IE7 until Microsoft cans it and stops support  Quote from: ThomasTheXPUser on November 29, 2009, 07:31:45 PM

Didn't even read he's using 7 - of course you are correct - IE8 is the default browser.

Windows 7 ships with IE8. To the best of my knowledge you can not "downgrade".

This is not a question, just a comment that might be of interest to some viewers.  I just discovered something I had never noticed before. With Firefox open and with too many tabs open to be displayed all at the same time on the tabs bar, hovering my wheel mouse over the tabs bar and then moving the wheel scrolls the tabs.  Before now, I had always used the arrows at both ends of the tabs bar to scroll tabs. 

I'm running Win 7 RC and Firefox 3.3.5 on the system with which I discovered this.  I have not tried it with IE YET. I have multiple tab rows.
How do you do that?   Tab Mix Plus - ONE of the best & most useful add ons Thanks, I may try it.  BTW, I'm using ColorfulTabs, also a nice add-on. YEP - been using that since it first came out - nice add on. Quote from: Salmon Trout on December 05, 2009, 10:17:02 AM

Hi Team, I'm using Firefox version 3.5.5... I want to block Facebook on my Firefox. How can I do that? Do I need to install add-ons? Can WOT do that? Reason for this is because I created a new user account for my little cousin. I did that for her studies and I want to make SURE that she can't access any social networking sites like Facebook.

Please HELP.Change the HOSTS file.Gee that's helpful!

To do this, see here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hostsfaq.htm

Otherwise, see here: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/internet-web/blocking-facebook-firefox-310963.htmlI found K9 Web Protection, a CONTENT filtering solution for home computer. But unfortunately, it blocks Facebook even in my Admin rights.I'm using multiple user accounts in my machine: Admin, Guest 1, and Guest 2... I contacted K9's technical support but they doesn't have a feature to configure multiple user accounts. What applies to one account will apply to all accounts.

Can anyone help me? I want to block Facebook on Guest 1 and Guest 2 only, but not in Admin.Is it possible to password protect a website? I mean ... so that computer won't let anyone go to said site without correct password.

Like trying to open a password secured ZIP file or something.Maybe change the hosts file to redirect the site to a locally stored html file that prompts you for a password, when the correct one is provided, then redirect to a proxy page for facebook. Also, a good parental controls comes bundled with CA internet security suite, but you can probably get it alone. It supports multiple "users", each with their own DIFFERENT lists of blocked sites and an administrator password to override the block (if you want to let the guest account on once and a while).

Hi,

I have set up MS Outlook 2003 for my Yahoo email account (Paid) and it is working fine and am SENDING and recieving messages but it is downloading only the messages in Yahoo mail account "Inbox" and and is not downloading any of the pre-existing emails in the folders set up in Yahoo mail . I have used filters to route and organize the email to specific folders in Yahoo mail and I do not want to disable these filters as I might be using Yahoo web interface from time to time and want to use Outlook regularly. So in SHORT, how do I download messages from the Yahoo webmail folders too to my outlook without disabling the filters in Yahoo email? PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME THE BASIC OUTLOOK SET UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR YAHOO ACCOUNTS AS I'M NOT LOOKING FOR THAT AND LOOKING FOR ANSWERS MUCH BEYOND. (Please do not misunderstand the CAPS for shouting, I'm just emphasizing)
Let me know even if there is any SAFE 3rd party software which can do that too?

Thanks much and appreciate your help in advance!!

Regards
BCaps is still shouting. Try YPOPS! (That is its name. I am not shouting!)

Thanks! but will it download the emails sitting in the webmail folders too into outlook?YPOPs! can fetch mail from the Inbox, Bulk mail folder and custom Yahoo! Mail folders.Thanks much! I tried to google Ypops! and went to a website filled with some malware and it started to scan mycomputer etc. Do you know a safe website from where I cand ownload this without any spyware/malware attacks?Well, I saw it here, and this site didn't try anything bad

http://ypopsemail.com/Or, get Yahoo! Mail Plus for $19.95/yr.

Edit: Oops, sorry, I SEE you have Yahoo! Mail Plus.  Looks like YPOPS would be worth trying.  Hi,

I have yahoo store email and hence it's a paid version. As of now Yahoo doesn't have any functionality to download the emails in sub-folders to outlook. I have spent few hours to make Oukook work in conjunction with Ypops! but was left unsuccessful. Look slike Ypops! developers stopped working on Ypops!.

INCOMING mail server is: pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mmail server is: smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com

As per Ypops! instructions I have changed both of them to 127.0.0.1 in outlook and also selected 127.0.0.1 under "Network" tab in Ypops! but no success.

My outlook failed to work with the above settings and once I change them back to the original (pop.bizmail & smtp.bizmail) it works.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on how to configure Outlook and Ypops! so that they both can talk to eachother and work in conjunction.

Thanks
B!Any chance of switching to gmail?  It can be configured for POP and/or IMAP.  I've experimented a bit, setting up IMAP and synchronizing the email messages between gmail and Outlook Express.  I've observed that, if I CREATE a new folder in gmail and create a folder of exactly the same name in OE, I can tell OE to Synchronize and it works.  The contents of the online folder and the folder in OE will be matched.

When I am online, if I try to shut done a page, may times ALL the open pages close and I have to get back online all over again! Tonight, this happened without me trying to close a page and this is the error message i got:

I understand about Firefox's useage of memory and how it continues to grow ( thanks BC).

Every now and then the CPU useage goes through the roof.  Even when all of the tabs I've got open are on sites that don't do continuous updates.

I've got FF 3.6 b4 and I don't think it is a version or beta problem since I've I have read about this same problem on Mozilla's site with several previous versions.

I should add that I have done AV and spyware scans.

Any ideas?I'd try installing an earlier version to a different folder (you can always delete it later and just keep the new version) and see if you have the same problem. If you don't, you can narrow the problem down to the version. If you do, it's something else. Also, I assume you've tried other browsers (IE, Opera, whatever) and do NOT have this problem, correct?DLoad and install SpeedyFox.Allan

The problem happens after FF has been running for several days ( my machine is on 24/7).  I've got all the other browsers but never leave them running for that long, so no I haven't seen it in the other browsers.  When FF does start to max out CPU useage I reboot and everythings fine for a week or so.  I remember reading that you turn off your systems every night so you probably will never see the issue since you have a fresh reboot everyday.

Patio

Just DOWNLOADED Speedyfox so I'll see what happens.Okay, but same question. What happens with an earlier version of Firefox? And is there some reason you must use Firefox if that's the only browser causing the problem?In reading through the posts on Mozilla's Q & A site there were a number of posts with the same problems for several earlier versions like 3.0 something.

To me a browser is kind of a personal thing and for reasons I don't fully understand or can't put into words I just like FF.  Why do some people love broccoli and others hate it?

And I should reboot once a week anyway.Okay. As you point out, I do SHUT down daily - plus my primary browser is IE, so I've never encountered these problems. But if you're sure they are not unique to your system and you are comfortable putting up with them I guess that's fine And I absolutely AGREE about browsers. I have all of them installed but invariably always come back to IE - just what I'm comfortable with - so I understand your choice to stay with Firefox.It's because FireFox makes large usage of SQL and it is not HANDLED properly with regular memory/cache flushing....SpeedyFox addresses this...
When you see things getting sluggish you fire it up and it takes all of 6 seconds.It may be also some faulty add-on(s).
We're aware that FF is pretty RAM hungry, but it shouldn't be eating CPU cycles.

Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?Broni, just to let you know I took your advice and have been running FF in safe mode for a couple of days now with no problems.  But sometimes it would run a week in regular mode before it would act up.  I'll let you know.I'll be around

How do I create a bookmark that will login to the site automatically for me? Ive tried logging in and then creating the bookmark, but it doesnt work...HuH ? ?

What browser for starters...Internet explorer. I want  to be able to make a bookmark that will log me into certain sites auomatically with my login. I know it can be done because I have one already that I pulled off a tool for my work, but I have no idea how they made it. It would save me time from logging in each time if I could just click the BM and be ready to use.Can't you just use cookies?I dont think that would work. Cookies are automatically deleted by IT here anyways...BOOKMARKS only store the URL. there is no special power to have login credentials or anything included. Quote from: BC_Programmer on December 16, 2009, 03:16:22 AM

Bookmarks only store the URL. there is no special power to have login credentials or anything included.

See that's what I thought, but somehow..... this one bookmark I have logs me in automatically and I'd love to know how it was done. 

So, you probably checked that also.

Well, let me take a guess. At home you don't have the same in environment. At home you have cookies enabled and you save passwords in your browser and you bookmark things. Here on the CH login there is an option to keep you logged in. So, you probably checked that also.  

Well no, only because with these certain sites I login to there is no way to stay logged in.

So maybe I can save the cookie after logging in? Would that work like a bookmark if I dragged it to my start menu for example?

hello, i have a new toshiba laptop, and a 2wire ROUTER provided by the at&t COMPANY that set up out wireless connections,  when i browse the internet i would have windows pop up as UNABLE to recieve CONNECTION, or error on windows explorer and must shut down, is this because of my cheapo router is there SOMETHING i can do on my laptop to fix this, it says i have a full connection on the bars on my laptop, p.s. we have two other computers on the same router along with a xbox live setup, could this be lag from them?
thanks!!Is it saying IE cannot display this page??

Basic information:

I have Internet Explorer 8
I have a Windows Vista Computer
I delete files that I no longer need or want to keep (so that my computer runs faster)
I've disabled my Windows Sidebar
I have Google Toolbar, and Google is my homepage
I have TREND Micro Internet Security, HijackThis, Windows Defender
I think my Internet is provided by Verizon
I have a Sony VAIO laptop
I have a few other ISSUES with my computer

Problem description:

So what's happening is my internet is nice and (thank goodness) speedy, working like a charm. And then, I click on a link and - BOOM!  I get this "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". What IS this? And the address bar says: res://C:\Windows\system32\shdoclc.dll/navcancl.htm
I don't know what to do...I've installed HijackThis and ran a scan a few seconds ago, here's the log:

Don't have a clue what it means. I reset my classpath, reinstalled Java, tryed reinstalling Microsoft Virtual Machine


Windows Vista SP1

2GB ATI Radeon X2 HD video card

4GB of ram

Help would be appreciated.

You can try DOWNLOADING JavaRa which will remove older versions of Java from your system http://sourceforge.net/projects/javara/files/javara/JavaRa/JavaRa.zip/download

I think this error may mean that either you need to be logged into the COMPUTER as an admin or your Browser Security settings are set WRONG for the game to run.

I use AT&T dsl service, with a Speedstream modem, but it shouldn't make a difference which brand of dsl modem I replace it with, right?

Anyone know where to GET the beta release of Flash Player for 64 bit WINDOWS platforms?


I was here, then I clicked over to Adobe Labs and couldn't seem to find it.

Why do you want the beta? The latest stable version works fine.I didn't know there was a "latest stable" version.

According to the link I posted, you can only get the beta.... maybe they just haven't updated the web page yet

Flash Player for 64 bit windows platforms

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
You do realise the usual Flash player will work on all 64 bit systems, just no 64 bit browsers?

So it runs on 64bit windows but not on the 64 bit browsers

I've only been a user of 64 bit windows for a week

I read that when using 64 bit OSs you have to use 64 bit programs, but I didn't consider that 32 bit apps. can run on 64 bit OSs so I got confused..

more then you want to know about x64 file/registry redirection

Haha love the slogan!

On my Laptop, I am DOWNLOADING Opera for a faster Internet Experence from Internet Explorer and I need to know if Opera can display YOUTUBE on a 56 or 128K without stopping to buffer in the middle of the video?no matter what browser you use you will have to let it buffer on a SLOW connection like that. sorry.You'll need to buffer, regardless of the type of internet connection you have.

It does not matter what KIND of internet browser you are using. It's all the same.

But the speed at which video buffers depends on internet speed. Apparently, faster speed means you don't need to wait as long for the buffering. And also, file size of video matters a lot too.

56 or 128K is relatively slow. I'm using a 768K DSL modem, and although it's slow, it's tolerable compared to 56K or 128K and on many a video, I still need to have the video loaded/buffered completely before I can watch without having to wait.

A faster (allegedly i may add ) browser will not ASSIST buffering in any way shape or form.

I am trying to connect to the wifi at starbucks. I've tried severAl different locAtions with wifi and no luck so far! When I clicked "DIAGNOSE the problem, it said "verify the current proxy server configuration." I followed the help and support my laptop gave me but I'm now stuck. I went to tools, then INTERNET options, then LAN settings. But now I have no clue what to do!!!! Help!!!!Proxy servers serve as the middle man between the Internet and your COMPUTER.
Obtain the proxy server settings you need to use.
Open your browser window
Choose "Tools" from your browser’s menu section.
Click "Internet Options" and open the "Connections" tab
Choose "LAN Settings" to open a new window..
Verify the "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN" BOX is checked and that the address and port match the settings you obtained in Step 1. If you have a script instead of an address and port, be sure the script address is ENTERED under "Automatic Configuration." Also, be sure the check box for "Use Automatic Configuration Script" is checked. Click "OK" to finish.

i download and when i try to open it says application that created FILE cannot be foundAre you directing the download to a location you want? If not, next time RIGHT-click on the item you are DOWNLOADING and POINT it to a location where you want it saved. Quote from: clong10 on April 23, 2010, 08:13:25 AM

You need to have the correct application installed in order to open and view files of that type.

i need to download yahoo messenger but i cannot because it wont let me open the application because it is not found

Sometimes when I am composing an email the text I am typing in does not come up on the screen immediately. I might have to wait about a minute before it appears. It only happens occasionally but it is most disconcerting. I have Windows 98 and am using Firefox and Yahoo Mail.I reported this problem last November when it was very bad. For some reason it went away but now it is back. I cannot think of anything that I have done that may have affected the situation. I notice that there is a message down at the left hand  bottom of the screen to the effect that data is being transferred from some online source. Is that causing the hold up and can I stop it?I think this is in part due to you using web email rather than software on your own computer. Hence, when you are using Yahoo it is randomly transferring data on/off the web. This uses up your limited resources. I would suggest an alternative is to use Outlook Express or Thunderbird for you email software. That way you don't need to have any web TRAFFIC until you are ready to send your mail. The other thing that occurs to me is to pre-type your email in your text editor and just copy/paste it into yahoo.Thank you dude1234 for those comments. The problem varies appreciably for some reason.  I have had little trouble today, although it is happening with this note. The problem seems to get worse during the day. I previously used Word to produce my emails and then copy to Yahoo compose. Many of these emails became distorted when posted to group sites. I often use Outlook Express but I use Firefox most of the time and go to Yahoo Mail for the email in and out. Quote

I often use Outlook Express but I use Firefox most of the time and go to Yahoo Mail for the email in and out.

I have accumulated many folders containing past emails in Yahoo Mail. I would be loathe to change to Thunderbird for that reason as it would mean swapping back to Yahoo Mail to find past emails.

Is there some way I can switch off the the Yahoo Mail processing that is slowing down my computer so drastically? Or is it something else that has caused this problem to emerge?

HI,

This is my first post and I hope I can get some help.

First of all, I can generally get on the internet & Email, but after about 10-15~ minutes I lose connectivity.
I then have to do one of the following:
1.) restart the computer (sometimes this works)
2.) reset my IP on command prompt (generally this works)
but again, after several minutes, I lose connectivity.

What's been done:
I contacted my ISP (I have a DSL line), they checked out everything and everything on their end is OK, however, for customer satisfaction, they replaced my modem with a brand new one, as of yesterday,
but, alas, I continue to have the same problem.  Before the ORIGINAL installation of the DSL, I had my house
rewired, so everything up to the computer is OK.

I have a Dell XPS-600 about 4 years old
Windows XP Service pack 3 (I use auto UPDATES)
Dual processor, Pentium D 3 G Hz
2 Gig Ram
250 Gig HD
I believe all my DRIVERS are current and up to date.

Any suggestions, short of buying a new computer WOULD be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

KapSixDid this just start or has it always been this way?
Try a "clean boot" (msconfig - selective startup - uncheck everything). Does it still happen?Allen,

Thanks for the speedy reply, the only thing I have on selective start up is my virus suite.
I have always been running my comp that way and yes it continues to happen.

my computer (acer aspire L310, windows vista 32 bit OS) has been having problems of not completing bootup. SOMETIMES it stops on the loading window during boot up. sometimes it opens the WAY it should. well, it still opens. so there. until yesterday, IE8 wont open. opens a window, then closes immediately. i tried running it as an administrator but it gives me a pop up window that says

Debug ERROR!
program:C:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more INFORMATION.

(Please try to debug the application)




What am I supposed to do?

and by the way, firefox is working.

thanks.Start with...

Go Start>Run ("Start SEARCH" in Vista/7), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hold CTRL, and SHIFT, hit Enter in Vista/7).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy (with Vista/7, most likely, you won't need it).
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD (rarely in Vista/7 case).
Is it possible to use software

I cant seem to let Silverlight work in Opera (have NEW version 10.5) it didnt work before either...have heard a lot of people who have the same PROBLEM and of course Opera doesnt answer....but maybe one of you guys and gals do...
W7, Opera, AVG, Asus 4.2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, only freeware as software, NO MS....except for the W7 of course Well, ACCORDING to this article, Why Silverlight does not support Opera, Opera is not officially supported by Microsoft's Silverlight. But, the article ALSO hints support for Opera may be forthcoming. So, I think you may have to deal with some issues if trying to use Silverlight in Opera until Microsoft decides to officially include Opera as a supported browser.

Whenever I open my Internet Explorer browser, I get the following:

Internet Explorer is currently running without add-ons.

It gives me 3 options: (1) manage, (2) disable, or (3) remove the add-ons.  I can't seem to get IE working properly and don't know how to solve this problem!  I click on "manage" add-ons but from there I have tried everything and can't seem to get my toolbars installed and get the program running the way it should. I keep getting the same prompts over and over. 

Please advise...What's your IE version? Have you gone to "enable" Yahoo Toolbar under Add-ons?
I'M using IE8.

I can't find yahoo toolbar under add-ons.  However, I have a yahoo search BOX that works at the top of my explorer page.  Right-click the shortcut you are using to open IE8 and go properties...

Under the target look for -extoff and remove it if it's there:
eg. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"  -extoff
to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

That -extoff parameter will force add-ons to be turned off.


If that's not the case, then ONE or more of your add-ons is probably CORRUPTED or causing an issue that it won't start.

In IE8, go under Tools > Manage Add-ons...
Under the Show tab select All Add-ons...

Temporary disable any add-ons with (not verified) in the title.
Temporary disable java, flash and shockwave plug-ins. Your probably find it's Java causing the issue.

Restart IE8.

If working, re-enable one by one TILL you found the problem plugin and clean re-install that if needed.
Brilliant assistance!  Thanx.  DELETING the extoff did the trick!

Windows XP with IE8
On a web page, eg this ONE, if l select the the down arrow next to the print icon, and then print preview, all that is shown is the header and FOOTER with nothing in between, hence nothing is printing.
Yet before, l could see the complete web page which was to come out on the printer.
Is there a seting that should be altered somewhere?On every web SITE or just one in particular? Have you tried printing to see if the page actually prints? What is different or new since the last TIME it worked properly?Blimey Allen that was quick!
It's every website, and the print preview just shows the headers and FOOTERS, and that is just what is getting printed.
Print Preview was working fine a couple of days ago and nothing has changed as far as l know.
Have done all the usual scans and nothing untowards has crept in!Okay, just as a test what happens with other browsers (pick one - Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome)?

Just recently downloaded Kaspersky onto a Windows XP computer, However computer was running very SLOW with it so I decided to delete the programme. After using CC cleaner it pulled up a range of things including a few DSL files? saying something like disconnected, so I deleted them all and now my Internet Explorer does not have afavoritess bar, I cannot copy and paste, I cannot access the Internet Options in control panel either, when clicking it it pops up slightly then doesn't show. When trying to use Ctrl and F4 that also seems to do nothing. In an internet explorer it USUALLY tells you what web page you are on through the tabs, yet after deleting the files it does not.

Yes I have tried system restore, restarting yet it all seems to do nothing. I even created a new user account, when opening that account it starts up like normal - and attempts to install internet explorer 8 and delete the old one, yet when doing so a loud bang noise happens and we return to the start up mode and the two user accounts again.

What am I supposed to do now? Please Help!    1) STOP USING REGISTRY CLEANERS. All you had to do was uninstall with ADD/REMVOE. Not only that, if Kaspersky products are slowing your system I'd be more concerned with your system than Kaspersky - it's one of the best products available and hardly taxes the system at all - especially when properly configured.

2) Boot to your XP CD and do a repair install (choose the SECOND repair option). After the repair, be sure to go to Windows Update and download and install all UPDATES. Quote from: zoecowlx on August 12, 2010, 02:01:12 PM

Well, don't blame all that on CCleaner.  I've used CCleaner for years and it simply won't cause those problems.  I believe you probably have numerous issues going on with your computer.  I'd proceed with Allan's advice regarding a repair install.

ANY registry cleaner can cause problems - even ccleaner. Just because most people don't have problems doesn't mean others won't too. There is no reason at all to use ANY registry cleaner, no matter how benign. And other than contradicting me, what is the purpose of your post?

He never used a registry cleaner, first off.

And anyway, a member on a forum is allowed to post whatever they see fit as long as it is within the forum rules whether you yourself agree with it or not.

Hi There ,
Ive heard that travian uses AJAX technology

the ability to change its content without refreshing HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ??
can sum 1 EXPLAIN  Javascript + XML + PHP = ASYNCHRONOUS Javascript and XML.

Just a quick NOTICE to anyone who is having trouble with to large or to small icons on the TOOLBAR,in the firefox BROWSER, and there not been a to obvious way to change them. If you go to the address box and type in about:config this will bring you to a warning box, but carry on, as the warning says, please be careful. In the box type layout c.s.s.devpixels.perpx. Right click on it, and you will be able to modify the number from the figure it is now, ,probs -1, and change it to 1.0. If this is still not big enough, go up in 0.1 increments, and that should do the trick. HOPE this helpsMethod 1 - change default TEXT size:
Tools > Options > Content > Fonts and Colours > Size

Method 2 - keyboard shortcut:
Increase: CTRL and +
Decrease: CTRL and -Method Three...

CTRL and mouse scroll wheel.

Hi
    I've been having a LITTLE tinker with the registry lately, having come across a few tips on making my lappy a bit FASTER. I don't know if that's been the course, but a few web sites I open up I just get a page full of chinese writing, no images or anything,just the writing. I'm also UNABLE to install any updates. as I keep getting the error code 8007064c, I dont know wether this also has contributed to my situation. oh....im running Vista.Did you back up the registry before editing?The registry is a DANGEROUS place to "tinker". 

Can you cite one of those websites that displays Chinese writing?  I'm skeptical that any registry tinkering would have caused that.

pc working fine until 2 days ago.now i can still get on to internet but nearly every second page comes back saying unable to display using IE8 and connection to server was reset when using firefox. when using namsco speedtest download speed is fine but unable to carryout upload. have run a scan and nothing detected have restored back to an earlier date and have reset pc to factory settings but still the same. other pc working off of same adsl connection works fine so can rule that out. pc is a dell inspiron 530 with vista. any help would be MUCH appreciated. THANKS.   sliser,Welcome to the CH forums. Most OFTEN things that "change" (as in your access to WEB pages) are as a result of some change done to the computer (hardware/software). What if any changes were done COINCIDENT with the appearance of this situation/ truenorth
