I'm having a real issue with displaying the MS Word status bar in IE. I've been playing around with Word for a while, but maybe there is something in IE I can do instead. Are there keyboard events I can CAPTURE in IE using API or something? Look at this following discussion I've been in so you can understand my issue better:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.vba.general&mid=7c84df5f-de4f-4119-ac3c-cb9b8ed0afb6

Somehow I need to resolve this issue, so if there is something I can do in IE I would LIKE to try it.

Thanks for your time and help!

BrendaCan explain further what you want to do? It sure doesn't make sense to me. You want to see the Word StatusBar in IE? Is that right? Hmmm, how about putting an Excel StatusBar in IE? And, then maybe we can PUT an Excel StatusBar in Word. And, hey, then we'll ALSO put a Word StatusBar in Excel.

But, wait a minute. Word is Word. Excel is Excel. IE is IE. Etc, etc. Where does this notion of putting a StatusBar a for particular application in another application come from? What's the point of it?OK, try this. Create a simple Word Document. And you see the Status Bar the displays line #, column #, etc...right? Well, save this Word Document and then open up IE and drag and drop this Word Document into IE. Tell me if you still see the Status Bar from Word. I don't. Any work around?

And here is the link again:http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.vba.general∣=7c84df5f-de4f-4119-ac3c-cb9b8ed0afb6 I don't think it worked last time.Your link worked last time. I read through the discussion there. I'm still wondering what the point of this is. Why drag a Word document into an IE window? WHY?

Yes, I can drag a Word file into IE but, just as you say, there is no Word status bar there. I do not know of any work around.brendita....... I have read your post and checked out the post that you linked to........ However , like soybean , I am unable to figure out why you would want a MS word toolbar in the Internet explorer ...... If you have M/S Internet Explorer open and want to view something that you have created or saved in word FORMAT....... why wouldn't you simply click on the file button in IE ....then open and then choose browse ....... and presto there it is .......
Have I missed something ??

dl65 Sorry, I guess I haven't made myself very clear. What I am doing is using VSTO(http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/vsto/default.aspx) and displaying it in IE with an Intranet. Does that make a little bit more sense now on what I am trying to accomplish?Yes, that gives a little clearer picture. But, I'm not familiar with VSTO and still do not have a very clear understanding of why you want a Word StatusBar to appear within an IE window and, therefore, really can't offer any suggestions. You got numerous replies in the MSDN Newsgroups discussion you mentioned earlier, and I noticed some of those replies came from persons with the MVP rating. I'm inclined to think you've probably got as much expert response to this question as you're going to get.

I do see there's a newsgroup named microsoft.public.vsnet.vstools.office. Perhaps that would be another place to ask your question. Soybean

I was just hoping maybe there was something in IE that no one had thought of yet, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for your time!

when i attempt to view some web SITES, i GET a blank browser window with the word "done" located at the bottom left corner of the browser window indicating that my action was completed (same results using firefox or windows' internet explorer).

i've viewed the "options" and "preferences" selections in the BROWSERS, to no avail. i also viewed my internet connections via the control panel, but coulde not resolve my problem.

as an example, i get a blank browser window when trying to access the following website:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/2003_pub_1066_module6.pdf

thanx in advance...daccs..... You require ADOBE Reader to be able to display pdf

http://www.download-it-free.com/acrobat/

This should resolve your issue.

dl65 I've found foxit to be much better than the adobe virus.
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
You should try it DL65.daccs......If you are using Firefox, there is no way besides changing the default action to open the file in the reader rather than the webpage. I spent a couple of hours with Firefox savvy people on the mozilla IRC channel attempting to figure out what was wrong, but we never did....

If you want to change the default action to "open" instead of "display" do this:
Click Tools>Options>Downloads>"Veiw & Edit Actions"

Scroll down to the PDF section and click it
Click "Change Action"
Set it to however you want. OBVIOUSLY, "use this plugin" won't work, so you'll probably want to use "open with this application" and select your Adobe Reader.The adobe virus, Aye?
Yup, only happened when I upgraded, THOUGH, only up from 7.0.1 to 7.0.3 or something like that, but it is totally incompatible with Fx. It's too bad. Worked well until then.

is there a way to download flash ANIMATIONS. ive heard that you click on view source, and find something with .swf on the END of it. im not entirely sure what ELSE to do.What browser are you using? If you use Firefox, it's much easier.

FlameI'm using Firefox, how do I do it?Show us the page where the animation is, and we can show you how to download it.I just let the animation LOADED and then Save As... the page as complete web. The flash is in the folder of web page.

This nightmare-ish browser has done it again. It caused severe problems.

As you MAY know, I couldn't get onto MSN or Visual Studio after the upgrade to IE 7. After a week of searching, I have finally found the answer.

If you have IE 7 and want to go back, follow these instructions:

1: Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

2: At the top of the Add/Remove Programs screen there is a checkbox. The checkbox reads, "Show Updates". Check it, and a list of updates will appear in the list. Scroll down to near/at the bottom, and the infamous IE 7 will be there. Click 'Remove'.

3: You will be prompted that a ton of programs will no longer work. Ignore that warning, and click Yes to continue.

4: Click Finish. You will need to restart the computer.

When Windows re-loads, it will be gone, and IE 6 or whatever you had before will be there.

A couple of notes:

I. This has only been tested on Windows XP. I do not have any other Operating Systems, and you may need to LOOK to find that option mentioned above. I don't know. If this is available on other OS's, please post where for future reference.

II. This is the ONLY way to remove this accursed beta. I have tried every other concievable method I can think of. If, by some quirk, there is another way, please post that, but I doubt there will be another method.

Well, there. I hope this HELPS some other poor frustrated end-user who got schiested by Microsoft with this browser. I still say FIREFOX is better, but hey, I need to get into my Visual Studio, not to mention my Email...You mentioned email. Do you use OE for email? If so, how did the installation of IE 7 beta affect OE? In other words, does OE get upgraded along with IE, as it has in the past with previous versions of IE? I recall reading somewhere that OE would no longer be bundled with IE. So, that's really what I'm wondering about.I use MSN for Email. When I 'up'graded to IE 7, MSN and Visual Studio both said, "This program requires Internet Explorer 6 or greater. Please update Internet Explorer, blah blah blah". Well, I couldn't install 6 because it said "A newer version is DETECTED and Setup will now close". I had to get rid of IE 7 first. I finally figured out how after stumping people at three forums, and this is how. Thunderbird for email is great....I've got it downloading email from four different accounts....

Hye ever1
Sorry ani't got much time so QUICKLY my computer's DETAILS:

• Windows XP
• IE 6
• MSN Messenger 7.5
• W-LAN DSL

i DONT remember installing the google toobar, but whatever happened, when i go to add/remove programs, its there, and it can't be removed. what can i tryTry removing in the Safe Mode. Press F8 at startup...Well the only thing I know is how 2 remove it from IE, and here's how it GOES:
Extras-->(Tab)Internetoptions-->(Tab)Programs-->Manage Add-ons . A new window opens, there u can deactivate the Google Toolbar and see the name of the file. That u can search and EITHER uninstall (if there is an uninstall EXE) or delete.

Hope this helps

when I try to reply message the writing BOX can't comes, I'm waiting half an hours the only comes ADDRESS and subject box what shal I do ? What are you trying to do? Internet Explorer is not an email program.Quote

What are you trying to do? Internet Explorer is not an email program.

thank U very much my freind sujest me DELETED KOOKIES from internet option, so now it now working properly. and i'll check in the above site.

Who is "someone"? You? Another USER on your computer?

Flamefixed- i FIGURED it out- a JAVA problem- do not let the sun set on IE7

whenever i open web PAGES that have pdf files it locks up my aol, how can i fix this I have 7.0 thanksHow long have you waited to see if the pdf loads? An alternative (and probably better) option is to right-click on the link to the pdf and SAVE it. You can then read it offline at your leisure.Thanks i will try that, have thought of uninstalling and reinstalling, I have wated up to an hour, it will not let me CLOSE or go to another page, but i can open IE and use it, but not aol.What is your pdf READER?Adobe 7.0Did you try downloading the file then READING it from your HD as suggested?
Google foxit to avoid using the adobe virus.My suggestion is Foxit too. It takes a lot to load Adobe.
And don't underestimate Malwares Check for Viruses, spywares, adwares, etc...

I really didn't know what to title this thread, as I have no idea what the main problem is.

Recently, I upgraded p.c`s and I've noticed a few oddities with this p.c (mainly through I.E)

Whether it's a css problem or what, I really don't know. However, viewing a site - it'll sometimes appear strange like this:

http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/3302/ie8ra.jpg

The second paragraph with the heavily induced bold text and strange links?

Viewing it through Firefox, however, is much neater:

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/2300/firefox6ur.jpg

So, I went onto another computer with I.E and viewed the same site. Wondering if it was just coded for Firefox. But, it looked the exact same or very similar to the Firefox link above. So, I presume it's something with my I.E

Also, on some sites I'll get WEIRD Asian text like this:

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/4363/text8lz.jpg

Again, it's not there on other peoples PC's or on Firefox.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.Sounds like there's a fault with your IE 6 installation. Try reinstalling, and DON'T install any of the additional language SUPPORT files.

Alternatively, just stop using IE. In fact stop using it anyway. I do prefer Firefox....

But thanks for your ADVICE. I'll try that and see what happens.

You have several issues withthis machine and little questions keep getting posted in different areas (at least 3 so far). Please try to keep it all in one spot (you decide which one) so we can HELP you.

All of this get's rather CONFUSING and all of these things are inter-related. THis IE Error posting most likely has to do with HARDWARE (RAM) so how about you delete ALL posts, and make a new one in Hardware and list ALL of the problems you are aware of. Our talented helpers will be ALONG to assist.

I've had this PROBLEM for a few days now. I havn't changed anything on my COMPUTER since it started happening. When people post pictures on websites like livejournal or myspace, some of them won't show up. There's nothing there, not even a box with a little x in it. I've checked to see if it's a specific file format that doesn't show up, but that's not it, and it's not the website they're hosting their images on. I'm really confused...What is your connection to the INTERNET? What browser are you using? Which operating system are you using?

FlameI use roadrunner, internet explorer browser, and I have windows xp (I hope those were the answers you're looking for)When did this start happening? Do you have virus and Spyware protection? Is your browser accepting cookies? Any browser accelerators, etc.? Also, which operating system are you using?

FlameIt started happening a few days ago. I have spybot and EZ firewall. I'm not sure what browser accelerators are or any of the other STUFF :-/

If it HELPS, I saw a post similar to this a few pages back. It said to delete all the temporary files and stuff, and I did that, but it didn't help.

When going online with Internet Explorer, images are distorted.

However, if I use a different browser (like Mozilla Firefox, for example), the images are nice and clear.

How can I fix IE (or can I?)In what way are they distorted?If you can send us a screenshot, that would be helpful If you don't know how to do that already, go into IE and find one of these images, PRESS the Print Screen key (usually above the number pad). Next click on Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Paint. Click on Edit -> Paste. Next, click on File -> Save as. Enter any name you would like, and look just below the name, and make sure JPG or JPEG is selected. All you have to do now is come to the forum, and attach the file.

FlameOK, this attachement shows what an image LOOKS like using Internet Explorer....And here's the same image using Foxfire.Is this a dial up connection with some sort of Internet Accelerator, by chance?Wow, interesting question!

Yes, it is a dial up connection.

When I use IE, something called AT&T Worldnet Accelerator runs automatically (as far as I remember, I've never requested this and am not paying anything for it; it just kinda "showed up" one day.)

When I use Foxfire, I'll get a message as I close the browser that this AT&T Accelerator was not running.

Never THOUGHT of that before; hmmm....

(BTW, thank all of you for your help, I *really* appreciate it!)That's how those accelerators "speed up" surfing. They only send degraded images, so the overall page loads quicker. Try disabling this accelerator in order to use the browser of your choice. Funny how they do that

FlameWell everyone, what I've long suspected is now official: I'm a moron.

As soon as the accelerator went bye-bye, the images became nice and clear.

Sorry for taking up our time on this; again, I really appreciate your help.

It's not a stupid question if you don't know the answer. GLAD to see EVERYTHING worked out for you. Come back and see us if you have any more questions.

Hi, my computer is going crazy especially tonight. I keep getting an error from Internet Explorer saying "stack overflow @ line (started with 351 and now it's all KIND of numbers.) I am running Windows XP Home Edition with the service PACK 2 on a 2 year old E Machine 10 gig HD and 256 mb ram. Can anyone help me please.

Thanks,

CarolThat's not good. If removing and reinstalling IE doesn't work, you may be looking at a complete Windows reinstall.How would I do any of that? My computer came loaded, so I don't have the programs on disc.

Thanks,

CarolAn eMachine should have come with a restore disk. Have you contacted them about this? I would. STRANGE thing......tonight it has not done it ONE time! Last night was a lot more than usual. Maybe once or TWICE a week and it's usually the "@ line 351." What does that mean?? Stack overflow?

Thanks so much for your help, yes I do have the recovery disc.

CarolHave a read:

This is my first post. I'm still a little UNSURE of how to receive replies here.

Up until recently I was using Internet Explorer 6.0. I don't know whether I got a virus or what. I still have and had running when this happened, a firewall (Zone Labs) and Norton anti-virus (up to date). I installed Spybot and Webroot and now I cannot launch Internet Explorer. When I try I get the Open with which program Windows XP box. I can't even find Internet Explorer on my all programs (start menu) or anywhere. I am using Netscape and Firefox browsers.

Up until today I could not launch Norton anti-virus although it was running automatically on schedule each week. I fixed that problem by stopping Spybot from BLOCKING a program. I have no idea why Spybot chose to block it, but it did. I guess it found some spyware in the folder.

Also, I think I tried to DOWNLOAD IE 6.0 two weeks ago, but couldn't - I don't remember the reason - maybe I was doing something WRONG. Any help would be appreciated. I'm actually running pretty well with FOXFIRE, but there are some applications that require IE and can't be opened with Foxfire.try deleting webroot or spybot. Also, when I installed Zone Alarm, my internet didn't work until I re-installed that program. Check to make sure that none of the programs are blocking the internet too.

greetings,

when i open new windows they usually are full screen size. i clicked on the taskbar to cascade the windows once and now new windows open at a smaller size. how can i get new windows to default to opening at full size??

phil phill ....If you simply drag the edges of the reduced size window and drag then out to the size you wish , they will open at that size ........

dl65 this hasnt WORKED, they still open as small sized - any other way?phill....... What operating system are you using ?

Have you tried RIGHT clicking in the TASK bar area ....and SELECTING undo cascade ......

I have tried using Win XP and thats the way it works for me .

dl65 i got xp but there is no undo cascade option As dl65 says you should just be ABLE to drag the corners of it to the size you want.

R0SSi can window by window but when i open the next ones they are still small.phill...... What happens if you open a folder ....is it in a reduced size as well ?

dl65 Many programs remember the position and size from the last time they were open. The trick is to close all but one of the windows that are open, maximise/resize that window as desired and then close it too. From then on, all windows should open in the format of the window you have just closed.

I DOWNLOADED IE 7.1 beta to see what it was like. (It's a FireFox mock-up, not worth anyone's time) Now, when I try to load MSN, It says I need a newer version of IE. Great. How do I go back to 6?Open your Control Panel and take a look in ADD or Remove Programs. Do you see IE 7.1, or some title for an Internet Explorer installation indicating IE 7.1, listed? If so, remove it.Sorry, it's not there. It IS in Add/remove Windows components, but TAKING it off and PUTTING it back on reinstalls 7.1. ALSO, I've tried:

Uninstalling and downloading 6.0 and running that setup. It says a newer version is installed, it must quit.

Just running the 6.0 setup. Same.

Installing 5.0 and upgrading. Same.Oh, this just keeps getting better and better! I can't run Visual Studio without 6.0!Try >this< Microsoft Knowledgebase article. If that doesn't help, I suggest TNT.

Use Hijackthis & mark the following entry for removal, then go & find the file and delete it.
You will probably NEED to set windows explorer to show all files, hidden etc.

I Googled filost... 71,000 returns popped up.i've removed that line from hijack. i went looking for the vb.dll file but it wont let me delete it, it says access denied, it may be protected or in use. i cant see its protected and shut everything else down and it still wont budge.

will my deleting the line in hijack do the job? ill have to see if my screen still appears.
i read somewhere that you can delete stuff from the registry - could this be an option if it still keeps happening?

PhilThe file you need to delete is vbsys2.dll NOT vb.dll.
Google for killbox & use it to delete with.after deleting the line through hijack - it SEEMS (touch wood) to have worked! many thanksThanks for the feedback Phill.

How can I logout from an OUTLOOK express mail account , in Outllok Express ?File--Exit and Log off identiy ?Hi

When i doing File-> Exit, it is exiting outlook Express, not asking for log off.

When i again opening Outlook Exp, it is opening that mail account (which i had previously), in the case when i have multiple mail account,


Another question:

In OE, mails from all my email address are automaically downloaded to a single account.Can i store emails from different email address in different
locations?Firstly what version OE do you use?
1. File--Exit and Log Off Identity option is available only if you have more than ONE identity.
But you can have password if you like...File--Identities--Manage Identities--Properties and check Require Passwords box...

2. You can store different email messages in different FOLDERS (I don't know what you mean by LOCATION) For this use Tools--Message Rules--Mails and you'll see various options for your choice.
Give names to folders and assign them to emails.

All above mentioned is for XP...By locations i MEANT different folders , or different mail accounts in OE , or different identities.

I am using Win 98.

Thanks for the reply and i will check that out. Quote

By locations i meant different folders , or different mail accounts in OE , or different identities.

My son has inadvertently set the '8' key on my KEYBOARD's number pad as a shortcut key that maximises Explorer if it is running, which is obviously quite frustrating when trying to type in numbers.

He is unsure what he did to achieve this, and I have been UNABLE to fix it, so can anyone suggest how to de-activate this shortcut key?

Any help is much appreciated.

yours

PartyOperating system? When did this happen?

FlameOperating System : Windows XP (Home Edition)

When did this happen : I believe that he set the shortcut key by right clicking the mouse on a desktop shortcut/icon, clicked on properties and entered the shortcut key in the option there. I have changed the shortcut key BACK to 'none' in this properties menu, but the key is still affected even after re-booting the computer.

PartyIf this just happened you can go back to a point in TIME before this disaster with System Restore.

Kudos to Raptor.Do you use MSN Explorer? If not, why not remove it? To do that, go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, click on Add/Remove Windows Components, and remove that little bugger.Removing MSN Explorer was a disaster. By doing that it knocked out any connection to the internet. When you connect with the XP internet wizzard it makes you use MSN explorer. So now I have it back. At least i can GET on the internet. So still have not FIGURED out how to make IE my default.Gary.....Try this ..... click start /All programs....then select Internet Explorer ...it should open and if you have no connection should open a connection wizard for you ......

let us know how you make out.

dl65 Have you tried default way?

1. Open Control Panel and double-click Internet Options.
2. Click the Programs tab.
3. Click to select the Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser check box.
4. Click OK.
5. Start Internet Explorer and when you are prompted to make it the default browser, click Yes.

Ok this is wierd, but sometimes when I get on a website, the PAGE will scroll up and down erratically. I have EVEN taken my hand off the mouse and watched it do it for sometime.

It doesn't go all the way down and then BACK up, it just jumps up and down. It is strange.

Is this a serious problem? Do i have a virus or something? Are there any solutions?

Pleas HelpAre you using anything for spyware/adware/viruses? You may have ANSWERED your own question.Yeah, I have Norton antivirus and firewall, counterspy, and ad-aware seahol29...... If you are certain you dont have any nasties in residence .........
Do you have another mouse you could try ........ I had a P/S2 mouse do the same thing recently .........a new mouse resolved the issue .
Remember when dealing with computers.......nothing should surprise you anymore.

dl65 I don't have another mouse, i just did a virus and spyware scan and it found nothing. I mean maybe its missing something but is wierd its doing this.
Always have a spare mouse and KEYBOARD (non USB) for emergencies. I would try dl65's advice.Quote

I just CREATED a new user account for my wife on my LAPTOP running xp.
Internet explorer runs fine when I use my user id, but if we logon with her username, it's hooped.
It will LOAD the homepage (google) after about 2 MINUTES, then it just hangs.
nothing happens when I click the go button.
Logon with my original account, and IE works fine.
Huh?Have you tried running conection manager on her account? (Program Files/Internet Explorer/Connection Wizard/Inetwiz)

What privileges did you grant this new account?I have tried the inetwiz utility to no avail.
My internet connection is working fine.
LAN is up and running.
The problem seems to be a configuration issue.
I've LOOKED at the internet options folder and looked for something to change, but it's all proper.

Okay, so recently I've been getting a problem with my computer not being able to display words correctly when I access a web page. INSTEAD of showing the usual letters and words in English, EVERYTHING shows up as musical notes and treble clefs. This doesn't happen on every page I go to. Note: I have had guitar pro and power tab software installed on my computer for about six months, could they have anything to do with the error? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Try going to your Regional and Language options under Control panel. See defaults if its in English(Untied States) text or form. Check also your Languages and Fonts option under Tools, Internet options,General tab.Wow. Thanks. My DEFAULT font in my internet options somehow got set to power tab. Everything looks fine now thanks!That's good news
Make sure you run alongside your current anti-virus an anti-spyware software such as SPYBOT Search and Destroy for added PROTECTION. Update weekly and immunize your files and registry.

If you have it already then all goes well.

So, Im trying to use this website that will allow me to listen to live radio.

The problem is the website requires me to use their player OR windows media player. Neither one works.

With windows media player. The play button is grayed but the stop button isnt. So I press the stop button, GIVE it some time, and press play.

And what do you know? Nothing happens, it just grays the play and make the stop clickable again.

So what do I do to start listening?

Im using internet explorer btw.

Safari doesnt work either.Get Firefox and see, if same thing happens.Just tested.

Same problem.In Firefox, go Tools>Add-ons>Plugin tab
See, if Microsoft Windows Media Player plugin is listed.

If not, get it here: http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx

If it's listed, download and reinstall it over the top anyway.

I got mine corrupted recently. It was listed, but it didn't want to work. Reinstalled over the top and it fixed the issue.I have just tried that. No changes.Follow this site and it might help you : http://zachd.com/pss/pss.htmlDidnt help.

Thanks anyway Jason.Exactly what website are you talking about here?http://www.onlineradiostations.com/radio-stations/usa/new-york/rochester/wfxf-95.1-fm-the-fox-classic-rock-music/details.htmlIt's not an issue with your computer. It's an issue with the website. They give you three options for listening: WMP, Real Player, or their own Online Radio (OR) Media Player. The links for both WMP and Real Player are grayed out, probably because they want to push people to use their proprietary player.

There is nothing we can do to help you with this. I looked around and all stations on that site are like that. You should contact them and ask why:
http://www.onlineradiostations.com/contact/It won't play for me in Firefox (after very long loading).

M$ has released IE9 today. I feel it's BETTER than IE8, especially when visiting webpages full of images. Although right now, IE is not my main browser (nor will I ever consider to switch back to IE until IE9 goes gold), what do you guys THINK of it?


Haven't tried it yet. Do you know what happens when the final/official version of IE9 is released for people who have installed IE9 beta? Will they need to uninstall the beta version and install the official version or will the beta version GET updates as needed to make it, in EFFECT, become the final version?If it's the same with IE8 i believe the Beta needs to be removed and the full ver. installed...

Hi Im new to this forum. My internet explorer is extremely slow both when connected at work to wireless network and at home when connected VIA LAN connection.

This morning when I tried to open one of the emails I received (and read) the night before, I received the FOLLOWING message:

Outlook Express encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check......

This message only occurs when I try to open messages in tne Inbox; all other message in all the other FOLDERS can be read.

Since this happened, I have received about 15 messages, all of which show up in the Inbox that can be opened and read.

I have:

1. DELETED Inbox.dbx
2. deleted Deleted.dbx
3. deleted Sent.dbx
4. deleted Outbox.dbx
rebooted and nothing has changed.

I have compacted all the messages files and still, nothing has changed.

I am currently at my WITS end and need help desperately.

I think it is to move from IE9 BETA to official need to updates from Microsoft. also can not remove the beta version from the Control Panel
My question is
- how can undo the beta version to IE8 ??.
- After reviewing the specifications of the browser IE9 beta :
* Streamlined design
* Pinned Sites
* Download Manager
* Enhanced tabs
* New Tab page
* Search in the address bar
* Notification Bar
* Add-on Performance Advisor
* Hardware acceleration
I saw it available in mozilla and opera (only possible feature Hardware acceleration - GPU- Not available)
Are there any other specifications not mentioned. FOUND on the IE9 beta . And are not found in other??Quote from: moro on September 19, 2010, 09:20:28 AM

Please help with a detailed reply Thank you!First, use an application like 'Lavasoft Ad-Aware' to check for any spyware, ROOTKITS or browser hi-jacks.


If nothing detected, identify if you have any bad or conflicting browser BHO's (Browser Helper Object)...

In Internet EXPLORER by clicking on Tools, then Manage Add-Ons.

First disable Microsoft's own Spyware like 'Research', 'Discuss' and the annoying 'Microsoft Live Sign-in helper' if it's there.

Temporary disable:
1) Any 'Java' Plugins
2) Any 'Adobe' Link Helpers
3) Any 'IEMonitorBHO' Plugins like download manager helpers, etc
4) Any item with '(Not Verified)' labeled on it

Update your Shockwave and/or Flash Plugins if you use them.

If one or more of them are the cause then remove, re-install or update them, re-enable those others which you use and consisted safe.1) Ignore the above post. First of all, AdAware has not been a viable option for YEARS. The current best of breed for spyware scanning are MalwareBytes and SuperAntispyware. Second, to run IE without add-ons all you have to do is go to START - RUN and type: Type iexplore -extoff (then press ENTER).

2) Try a different browser (ie, Firefox, Opera) and see if the problem persists.I understand Ad-Aware has lost it's former high standing but, OTHERWISE, Azzaboi's post seems like a logical troubleshooting approach. Simply running IE with all add-ons turned off could proove that one or more add-ons were the cause of the problem but it would not reveal which specific add-on was the cause. More troubleshooting would be needed, and that seems to be the logic behind Azzaboi's post.Quote from: soybean on September 22, 2010, 09:29:11 AM

Hello!

I have a problem...my Dell Inspiron laptop is in the habit of suddenly refusing to PLAY videos on Youtube, Google Video, or any other site. And by suddenly, I mean that I will be able to watch videos absolutely fine for a while, but then (i.e. if I open up a different video or pause the current video and then try to resume it) the video will not work...and after that one instance, no videos will work. If I am using Firefox, it says that the Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed after 45 seconds. If I am on IE, the entire page just freezes when I try to watch any video. If I shut my computer down for a while and then return, I will be able to watch videos for a while, but then they stop working again. This has happened two nights in a row. What can I do?

I am having this issue for several DAYS in a row - cannot get to my photobucket SITE....is their a photobucket HELP site or anyone have any IDEAS?What error or MESSAGE are you getting when you try to go to Photobucket.com?

Their "help" site, which is actually just a bunch of answers to common problems and not very helpful, is here:
http://pic.pbsrc.com/help/PhotobucketHelp.htm

Not sure if you'll find what you're looking for there, but it's a place to start. But the error may not be on their end, it might be on yours, so do try to explain what's happening in as much detail as possible.

OK just a quick one, I changed the favicon for my website to a personalised one and no matter how many times I restart chrome the favicon is still the old one. On IE and FF it has changed STRAIGHT away. I tried clearing the cache on Chrome with no joy. Any ideas what this COULD be?
Using chrome 6.0.472.63

Thanks in advanceFunny, I've heard of this issue a lot with Firefox, but not with Chrome.

Anyway, try these in this order:

1. Delete any bookmarks in Chrome to the site.
2. Clear your browsing and download history.
3. Restart Chrome.
4. Visited the site and bookmarked it again.

Another solution I just found involved deleting the file that stores those icons for Chrome, forcing Chrome to create it again with updated icons, but this will delete ALL favicons, not just your site's.

Anyway, hope that helps out a bit, Mulreay. Let us know how you get on.

EDIT
I assume this site you're referring to is that Space and Science site in your signature (which I'm looking forward to digging through eventually). I'm attaching the favicon as I see it now.

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Chrome is not all its cracked up to be....buggy at best.As quaxo suggested, you can try deleting the Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Thumbnails file, but the problem may lie with your HTML, as Chrome uses favicons a bit differently. In your HTML, you have the following line:

Code: [Select]<LINK href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
Underneath that, try adding this line as well:
Code: [Select]<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="/favicon.ico" />
OR

Code: [Select]<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="http://spaceandscience.co.uk/favicon.ico" />
Very similar, I know, but it sometimes MAKES a difference.Thanks for the replies guys. Quick run down of what I did/happened.
I tried deleting all the bookmarks pertaining to my website and then cleared the history/cache etc re-added the bookmarks but to no avail it still remained at the old favicon.
I then removed the bookmarks again and tried deleting all history using Ccleaner and this had the same result.
So I tried un-installing Chrome and re-installing whilst removing all history and settings, this returned the same result as the favicon was still the old one.
The HTML issue that CBMatt suggested was interesting but I used FTP to add the favicon so was not sure where to start with that.
I then looked at this folder option that quaxo mentioned (thanks for that) and used the directions that CBMatt included to find the correct file (Thanks for that), and removed the thumbnail file.
I then restarted chrome and guess what all the favicons were blank, so whilst holding my breath I typed in my URL and BINGO the new favicon was there. I then just ran through some of my other bookmarks and they were all added correctly.

Thanks a lot for the help guysGood to hear, Mulreay.

I am having a real hair-pulling experience trying to download Adobe reader and flash as well as running some website OPTIONS on certain sites, like I am unable to play anything on YOUTUBE Videos or make purchases on website: http://www.luckyvitamins.com. I get "error on page" and I can't seem to find out why! Any suggestions? Please help this old man before my FRIEND puts out a hit on me......Thanks in advance.Remove any current installation of Adobe Reader or Flash.
Start -> CONTROL Panel -> Add or Remove Programs

Restart your computer. Then download and reinstall both:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Instead of Reader, you could also try Foxit, which works just like reader, takes less space, and runs faster. It's also free:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/

having a nightmare trying to figure out why internet explorer isnt removing all history.....have tried delete browsing history OPTIONS in tools etc.....have also tried regedit from start to remove URLs..thats showing nothin in there
Yet when i click back on address bar it STILL shows a list of history and favourites.theres a little icon with a red X next to them which says delete but they just come back again after pressing this
Any1 GOT any ideas?You could try running CCleaner to see if that clears the cache.The PROBLEM is that what you want to get rid of is not the same as History and Favorites. To get rid of these sites, you can check the page below:
http://www.pchell.com/support/delete_address_bar_urls.shtml

However, if you would rather avoid the REGISTRY, then download/install the program Mulreay suggested above. Before running the Cleaner, simply make sure you check Recently Typed URLs. That should take care of it.

My girlfriend seems to be able to access my deleted HISTORY even though i clear all private data?? how does she do this on mozilla firefox?Not sure what she's doing or what you're not doing to clear everything.

Are you clearing recent history? (Tools -> Clear Recent History...)

If that doesn't get rid of everything you want, you could try using CCleaner, which will clear leftovers from most major browsers. Only use it to clear your browser history, do not use the registry cleaner function unless you really really know what you're doing.Personally i'd start looking for a new girlfriend...
But thats just me.Quote from: patio on September 25, 2010, 10:32:04 PM

Unless she has good reason to?

IT STILL DOESNT ANSWER THE QUESTION WHICH IS SIMPLE??? ....... HOW IS SHE ABLE TO ACCESS IT WHEN I HAVE DELETED HISTORY???

wow salmon trout you have a short fuse dont ya haha..... oooopss i am soooo sorry for using capitals.... whao crime of the century. So why are you here and not doing an agony aunt column??

IMHO she has probably remembered something from when you DIDN'T clear the history and is using that golden nugget of information to make you sweat, because you're obvously up to something that you don't want her to see, as you trying to clear the history all the time.

works for me. Has any one else done anything with your comp before it stopped using that site? Did you download anything before it stopped working? Is this just some clever way to advertise that site?

I think I will install XP again and see what happens.

Rather than reinstalling, you may as well try a standards-compliant browser such as Opera. (Don't ask me what that means!)

See, if you can access http:\\208.100.51.102

Broni, this works, so I am guessing name is not being resolved. So how do I go about fixing this? Is it something to do with DNS?

Thanks..I did not think of typing ip address...

I'm trying to put digital copies of my movies on my computer, and it gives me this message:


"You must upgrade security components of WINDOWS Media Player so you can play protected FILES on your computer. To upgrade please follow the instructions below:


So I follow the appropriate link only to get to the site and find that I cant click on the upgrade button (Its there but its inactive). Ive installed almost every random program suggested by the help center provided by Microsoft but nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions?What browser are you using?I USE Firefox normally but it didn't work with either that or INTERNET explorer.What is the site link, you land on?Well I have to say I feel REALLY stupid, all I had to do was download the newest version of Internet Explorer.

But I would like to thank you for taking the time to try to help me. Thanks!Whatever works

Don't really know where l'm going here, but open for discussion.
When you sign up to your ISP where you can use their own facilities ie.
e-mail, VIRUS protection etc., why change this so that your homepage is Google.
Is it not best to stick with the ISP and have the google toolbar?
Sorry this is VAGUE, but WOULD just like to have PROS and cons.
ThanksEither way works...
It's just a matter of preferences.Google loads faster. For a while I was using "about:BLANK" as my home page, just so the browser would load quicker.

I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and I installed AVG free 8.5 yesterday. I deleted Mcafee as it was very old and not updated. I have run quick scans and complete scans of both with problems found each TIME.

I looked for another post with this PROBLEM and did not find one. If I MISSED it please direct me to the proper location for my solution. Something called BigFix has also shown up on my computer and I am not sure what this is.
Please note that I can not LOG into my email to receive replies.Just tried again to see what would happen and received the following message:
Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close.

This is the first time this message has appeared.

I've been a regular at smelly-cat.org for years, but now the website won't load for me. Firefox gives me a blank page and IE gives me the typical "cannot display the webpage." It's been 3-4 days. I haven't experienced this problem with another website. I've cleared my cookies, deleted temporary internet files, RESTARTED the computer and made sure the site is up through downforeveryoneorjustme.com.

I recently switched from BitDefender Total Security to the free version of AVG. I believe - though I'm not entirely sure - the website stopped working when I uninstalled BitDefender. I am running Windows XP, I don't recall making any other significant changes to the computer and I've recently scanned the computer for viruses with BitDefender, then AVG and Spybot Search & Destroy. I am not sure what to do next.

Help would be very appreciated.Here is something simple.
You know how to change you DNS to a STATIC IP, right?

Open DNS nameservers are:
208.67.222.222
and
208.67.220.220

Se if that makes a difference.
If they block a site, there is a reason
http://www.opendns.com/

Or. you can use a proxy server
Google free proxy server

Try going to command prompt (Start &GT; Run > "cmd"), and type:
ping smelly-cat.org

If you get a response, then it's your computer that has the problem. If not, then it's the website's problem.

I got a response, by the way.

I cant even begin to tell you how frustrated I am! boooo!

For starters, I have a problem with Internet Explorer (or some mutation of it): I cant download anything from net...and I mean ANYTHING! Not even a file that could help me with this JAM.

The normal WINDOWS I.E has been replaced with a "windows live" explorer thing. all the normal features like , file, edit, view,favorites, etc...have been replaced by buttons for windows live gallery, msnbc, msn butterfly, faves for windows live, groups, a hammer (help I assume bcz clickin it does nothing!!) as well as a help button (a questionmark icon--it does nothing either when clicked.) On the title bar at the top, and the task bar below just has a letter E with cirlce (IE icon).

If thats not cool enuf to garner sympathy..while typing this, I realize I cant use the delete button (have to use the backspace) and I cant right click to copy&paste. WEEEE!!

Someone suggested going into the control panel, and clicking the internet options file there...well that would be great..if I could actually OPEN the folder!!!! I click..it just sits there..stares back at me thinking, "What an idiot."

Soo..if my download issues, my defunct basic windows capability and inability to access internet options all combined, arent a whirlwind of excitement...I have no windows xp disk to reinstall anything if that is the answer to this dilemna! or if havin me go download was the answer..cant do that obviously.

Im so thrilled, I could just stab my eye out with a red pen.

A regcure 1.52 was run to SEE if it would fix anything. it really didnt. A sys.restore a couple diff times didnt help either. I have win xp with service pack 3 by the way..

Here I am , in all my glory...whimpering and waiting for someone to guide me away from tossin my computer. Any takers?? Anyone?


..please??... Borrow an XP CD of the same version and Service Packs...
Repair Install of XP

I suggest reading it thru so you understand the procedure and prining out a copy for reference...
If done properly all your apps and data will be intact.
If done improperly your apps and data will be gone but you will have a fresh install of XP...As Patio says, sound a major prob.
Could be worth trying out what you have previously done via Safe Mode before you reinstall tho'
RegardsI have this exact PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been driving me NUTS

I dont have a disk!Is there any other suggestions.

HeeeeeeeeeeelpI have asked everyone I know about this...no one has a cd with service pack 3.

Also, I have found that it ONLY is an issue with the internet. I can cut & paste in word an all other documents. JUST INTERNET!

Since I cant dowload anything, I cant install a fresh IE or firefox or anything.

Any other hints??Give this a go unless you've already tried......
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove programs>Set Program Access and Default...Uncheck Microsoft windows and check Custom and select IE

Or

Can you get into Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Reset Internet Options

Or

If that's no go, you may have a malware issue....perhaps post the SCANS if you can in the other AV forum...seems like IE has been hijacked.

I have Windows XP and have been experiencing disrupted internet service for the past few days. When I start my computer and access IE, it works properly. However, about after 5 minutes or so I start to get "this page can not be displayed" or sometimes "this link appears to be broken." I constantly restart my computer so I can use the internet. I thought it was my modem or service. I've called my service provider several times and they said it's not their service, but it does appear something is blocking my access. I have SYMANTEC Antivirus program. They SUGGESTED it was a firewall or something, but I did try to turn it off and it still didn't work. They ALSO said to put my computer on safe mode? I'm not sure what to do next! I just want my working internet to work! What are the modem activity lights doing ? ?
How did you try to turn off Symantec ? ?
To enter safemode you TAP F8 repeatedly on power up and before you see the Windows logo page......WARNING: let it load completely.Thank you for your help! It randomly starting working a few days ago? I'm not sure what the problem was. I unplugged everything and then put it back together. Maybe it was a loose cable or something.

When I TRIED to LOGIN religaresecurities.com , it SHOWS only "successfully login" MESSAGE. But the login page is not opening.and it also shows a error message access denied. I have tried to turn off the pop-up blocker,still it is not working.If this is a secure login site you need to CONTACT the webmaster.

Hello All. I recently attempted to install Norton 360 2.0. I've installed previous Norton anti virus before with no PROBLEMS. This time, it wouldn't CONNECT to the internet through IE. It tried to dial up a connection I've not used in years. I deleted those connections and was left with just the Broadband connection. No dice. I un-installed the old Norton. Still won't work. Tried to rebuild the connection through the control panel-nada. STRANGELY, my Firefox still works so I downloaded the newer IE 8. Still nothing. I then un-installed Norton. Nope-didn't work. Computer savvy associate I called said to get Revo un-install because the remove program application might still leave FRAGMENTS behind. I did and no it still won't connect. I then un-installed the new Norton 360 and IE 8 followed by a clean up with Revo. Through Firefox I downloaded the IE 7 that I had before with no add ons. Still can't connect. When I try to open IE, the page itself will appear but not connect to MS, Yahoo, Google or anywhere. It gives me an option to run a diagnostic. When I do it says cannot connect to HTTPS, HTTP and FTP. It suggested I try turning of firewalls. I did that with Windows and I don't think F'Fox can be turned off. Didn't work. If I try un-installing F'Fox, I won't have any connection to the outside world. If Firefox wasn't working fine, I'd think there was a problem with the DSL. I can't run Norton through F'Fox cause IE seems to be the default. Besides, some things are easier to download with IE. If anyone can help me, I promise happy thoughts for you forever. Thanx, AgBy the way - I'm using Windows XP and I'm connected directly to the DSL modem, no wireless.Somewhere in IE there is a place to set some LAN options. I think is is under Tools Connections.You need to set up the IE LAN settings so that IE will allow a proxy.
And you may even have to reset the computer to have IE get it right.

Oh, here it is. Tools internet connections LAN settings automatically detect settings.
I think that is all you need.Thanx Geek - Yeah I just tried that a couple of times. Still the same, no connection. THANK you for you the input - AgTry calling your IS provider. For me i think there is something wrong with the connection.Run Norton Removal Tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039If you have nothing to lose...try tcp/ip fix

http://www.download3000.com/download_7677.htmlThank you for the responses people. For some reason, I can't download the removal tool from Symantec. It just times out. Could it be that I'm using F'fox to download? I'll try again tomorrow from work using IE and load it onto a flash. Also, I'll try to call AT&T about this, if I can actually get someone on the phone. What does tcp/ip fix actually do. I'm not a techie by any means and I'm unfamiliar with that. Thanx again to all for your input. I'll let you know the results tomorrow - AgDon't run two fixes at the same time.
Start with getting rid of Norton, first.
I'll upload Norton tool for you to some other site, and I'll post download link.
Just give me a few.Here you go: http://www.filedropper.com/nortonremovaltoolAG...reread your first post and I missed the fact you do have a connection with Firefox, so you don't want to use xp tcp/ip ....It's only for when there is no connection at all....Very powerful little program. Yeah for me, stay away from Norton anti-virus it's crap in my opinion. Call your internet service provider as it sounds like your connection is down from their end.

If you can install avg free, download it from work put it on your flash. Install on your PC and if you can update it your internet connection is up and it's a configuration problem.

http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afe#tba2

If you can install this and update it post back and we can take it from there.

Your choice though if you don't want to go with avg. If you can just get anything on there and try to update it.

Hope you get it up soon.... if you pardon the pun

Rgds,
