I don't KNOW if this is the best PLACE to post this but there might be someone who knows something about this. I have an application that I recently RELEASED. It's a free download for everyone that comes with free trial minutes and then when the trial minutes are up people can purchase activation if they choose. When you download my software in IE 8 or IE 9 you see a SmartScreen Filter message that says. This "program is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer."

I was trying to find a way to contact the people at Microsoft that MANAGE IE's SmartScreen Filter. If I could present my application for testing so that they could see it is safe to download then perhaps they could have SmartScreen Filter give the go ahead instead of showing a discouraging message that would tend to make people not want to download my software.

I'll keep searching to find something I can do to eliminate that message. If I get some helpful response here then great.

Edit entry: I just left an email for Microsoft Support so maybe I'll get some help there. Might be something helpful at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/SmartScreen-Filter-frequently-asked-questions-IE9. Be sure to read the FAQ titled "One of the sites I visit is being flagged by SmartScreen Filter, but it's not an unsafe website. What can I do?"

I know close to nothing about computers, so please bear with me. I have been trying to download files for a game I play. When I open the FOLDER, Firefox asks me what it should do with the file, and under it is two options: SAVE, or open. There is a drop-down box that is automatically set to open with Internet Explorer. I click 'open', and an internet explorer window pops up, then disappears, and two smaller boxes appear afterward. One says "getting file information", and the other asks yet again if I want to open or save the file. If I click 'open' again, it simply repeats, over and over, until I either get tired of clicking 'open' and give up, or I click 'save', which does not solve the problem. I have tried using Adobe to open my files, but it can't read it. Firefox does the same thing as Internet Explorer. These are .package files, so I don't know if there is something special I need to open them or what. I just want to be able to open my dowloads!!! What game is it? What web site are you getting them from or is it a game server? What are the names of the files? What happens if you save them and try to open them with IE?

The more information you can give us the better.

Thanks
The Sims 2, and I've been attempting to download custom content from www.thesimsresource.com
There are multiple files that I've tried to dowload, but an example of one would be Fence1Carlos_S2Studio.package, and the file type is package_auto_file

What's odd is that some of these files have worked before, but only sporadically. Now none of them whatsoever.

When I save a file and try to open it, a blank IE page opens and closes very rapidly, and afterward two small-ish windows pop up, one asking me if I want to save or open the file. If I click save, it will tell me the file is already saved and it'll ask if I want to save again. If I click open, the cycle repeats with a black IE page, the boxes, etc. It's very hard for me to explain because my knowledge is very limited..

I also tried going back to other files that I previously downloaded, to see if they would wok, but they don't!You may have to delete on the downloaded and saved files before attempting to redownload it again. The way you have described it is you are downloading the same files over and over again. Another is they may be corrupted. Always download from known legal SOURCES to avoid being infected.Been some time since i used Firefox so i am more than a bit hazy on how downloading is now done in it. But in case it produces a PROCESS similar to what happens in Opera (my BROWSER) when you select a "download" it does so in a separate location at the top of your task bar at the top of the browser window. It is a small window called (download). It can be opened to show the downloads that have accumulated there (if not removed0 and any current download being executed and it's progress. Once the file completes you must click on it to "open" it. Is it possible that is happening in your case? truenorthTools---Options---General tab---Downloads

Two weeks ago my website stopped showing up in IE.

-Others can see it on their computers. But not any comps in my home.
-It is owned by me, so not banned.
-Worked fine for past 2 yrs.
-Cleaned up all cookies and temp files, reset router, used ccleaner.
-Hosting company said it is working properly.
-Using a free proxy to view website works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me nuts.

Use win7.Does it work in other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome)?

Have you checked the HOSTS file?What is a hosts file?
First answer the other question please - then we'll determine if we need to modify the hosts file.-Tried downloading Firefox-- Will not work in that either.

-By the WAY the site I'm trying to reach is foreclosureventurecapital.com

-Looked up HOSTS file, this is what is in it,

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be INSERTED on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name RESOLUTION is handled within DNS itself.
#127.0.0.1 localhost

How do I lock my Internet?You're going to have to elaborate. "lock my Internet" is too brief for us to know what you WANT. Drive up to my house and try to GO on line and about 4 different wifis COME up but mine is the only one with no little pad lock next to it. Anyone could get online using my wifi. I thought I set it up but I must have done something wrong.Apparently, you have not enabled WPA encryption. A REFERENCE: http://netsecurity.about.com/od/quicktip1/qt/qtwifiwepwpa.htmYou can use a set of login information for the WiFi and use internet without any problem, no one can access internet without the login information.

Seen namespaces before used so that you can type part of a domain name with out the full path, as well as I believe you can make anything for a namespace name = any url path, but cant seem to find any INFO on making namespaces for url's to have a custom shorthand for my home computer browser. I have never seen this done on a regular home computer and always at a company where there are workstations which are part of a domain and of which have group policy's etc passed down from domain CONTROLLERS etc. Can namespaces be added to a single home user computer or is it part of a server setup such as a proxy?

I am thinking I would just have to edit the HOSTS file maybe to make this work, but that might be the ugly method to make this happen. So would I have to edit the HOSTS file to point to the full URL path for whatever I want as a namespace or is there a better method?It is hard to understand what you want to do.
You can make a HTML page with URLs in it and give them short names. On you can have a folder on the desktop that has shortcuts and URLs with shot names. For example, here is a folder I can open from my desktop, it is called 'MoreLinks' which has both internet and program shortcuts in one place. I can rename them what ever I want and to invoke any all I have to do is just click on it. The internet shortcuts are made by the browser with a flick and click of the mouse. (Takes a little practice.)


[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Hello Geek-9pm

The URL namespace is like being able to type ABCD into your browsers URL without http://www and the following.com and have it resolve to say www.yahoo.com. I am thinking that you could create a namespace as short as a single character maybe if not a DOUBLE character to have say G bring you to Google, Y bring you to Yahoo, and F bring you to facebook, although might need to use double characters minimum so that it doesnt think its a drive letter such as a mapped or local drive at G: , Y: , or F:

I have seen namespaces used in the URL bar in corporate networks to be able to type in say ABCD and that then cross references to somewhere in the system that directs that ABCD namespace to the desired location. I was thinking today about how cool it would be to be able to type in a single character or double character for frequently visited sites without use of favorites list or creating a custom web page with hyperlinks to the list of frequently visited places.

I am thinking I might be able to do this by tweaking my HOSTS file to tell it that Y or YY=www.yahoo.com and G or GG = www.google.com and F or FF = www.facebook.com as well as some other sites that have very long url paths that cane be a simple ZZ and enter key. But before tweaking my HOSTS file, I figured I would run this by everyone to see if this is the correct way to do this or if there is a more professional method than a HOSTS DNS tweak. Most people use the HOSTS file to create a black listing pointing to 127.0.0.1 to terminate to local loop back IP for sites you want to block access to etc. But I am thinking it might work for a namespace to function maybe although maybe a crude tweak of the HOSTS file for something it MAY not have been intended for.Quote from: DaveLembke on April 17, 2011, 02:09:06 AM

One of my favorite websites always freezes up my computer! Other websites do not do this. I've done everything I can think of to fix this problem. I did a complete system recovery. I've ran CCleaner. I've upgraded to IE8 (I have Windows XP and my pc is about 5-6 years old and I can't afford a new one!). I've use PC TOOLS antivirus to check for the bad stuff and I have 360 Amigo System Speed Up to CLEAN my registry and other junk off my pc. If there's any other things I should try, please let me know. The website that gives me the problem is EarthClinic.com It is not a "flashy" website or anything, so I just don't know what the problem is! PLEASE HELP!
janetleeRegistry cleaners/mechanics are not popular or RECOMMENDED in these forum and they can do more harm than you EXPECT it to fix your problem. So please stay away from these fake softwares or programs.

I did a complete system recovery

Read up a little more on it in some other articles.

Seems they are switching to a "Rapid release" format (well, this thread title explains that). which means a new major version every 6 weeks.

I personally don't understand. The format of a version number is generally accepted to be- across many platforms-

Major.Minor.Revision.Build

Major version changes indicate major changes to the software.
Minor version changes indicate more minor version changes, more features, but same general FEEL.
Revisions can often be used to indicate bugfixes; builds are simply the number of builds made.

of course this is hardly something that is enforced; you can call your software whatever version you want. Chrome, for example, has had this release schedule pretty much since the start.

But it sort of asks the question- "why?".

What was wrong with the old version format? There isn't really a good reason to increment the Major version based entirely on a span of time; it generally should reflect feature changes. Are we to expect FF 13 this time next year? Maybe we need a system where every browser is updated every day. Start with Jan 2000. So the version number is simply the number of days fro the base year. That way, it you use the browser every day, you know it is up to date!

d...o we really want to "force" users to upgrade? After all, new versions of software fix bugs, but they also inevitably introduce new ones.

IE still has the highest usage, and its not the BEST! Many just don't know there are alternative browsers, and just use what's bundled with WINDOWS.

After updating to new version of Firefox, my paid for thing don't work. What should I do? ...

It is not yet , yes it is, at the point where FireFox 5 will be on your credit card. (Seen elsewhere on site that shall not be named.
And I copied out of context just because it sounds funny...)

Mozilla firefox is best browser for window xp. i m also using window xp with mozilla firefox.

There is no best - whatever you like is the best. IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari - use whatever you like.

What is the best browser to use for a windows XP. I tried everything but it seems too slow.

Today almost all browsers are the same speed, or at least so close it doesn't make any difference. The browser you use now has more to do with the look and feel you like.

If you feel it's slow, it's more than likely it's your ISP or your machine. There are several ways to test your speed at sites like speedtest.net, DSL reports, etc. and make sure your are getting the speed you are paying for.

as long as your computer is happy

Don't anthropomorphize computers. They hate it.

Quote of the month candidate!

I just bought an HP Pavilion p6767 running windows 7 a few months ago. Starting about 2 weeks ago, I've noticed that I can only get on certain websites. I've tried using IE and FF and they both have the same problem. I called my ISP, they walked me through some stuff, then told me my COMPUTER was "broken and to buy a new one." I need some serious help. Here are some of the websites that I have noticed that won't load.

msn

weaskit.com
They say "loading" in the bottom left and then eventually say it couldn't connect. Help please.SOLVED... Updated my modem FIRMWARE and EVERYTHING is back to normal.

using: xp-pro(sp3), firefox4
problem; i open firefox, enter a search term and every thing works fine. i enter a new search term, and before it finishes loading, google reloads the previous search term? everytime i enter a new search term it reverts back to my original QUERY? if i want to enter a new term, then i must close and reopen firefox.
exception; if i click on one of the auto suggest search terms, it will load it fine.
have avg free edition, i REGULARLY run defragller, glary utilities, and spy bot. have also run a disc check and MS malicious software removal tool(which never finds anything anyway). looked through ms config and didnt see anything new or suspicious looking. a huge thanks to anyone who can help me solve or at least identify this problem. is this a google issue, a firefox issue or a windows xp issue? any help is appreciated, thanks saul-t1Have you tried a different BROWSER?

Hi
I cannot make a livejournal PAGE refresh. I know there are more comments because if I go in a different way I can see there are 36 pages of comments but if I look at pge 35 it is still STUCK in the past and will not show there are 36 pages of comments.
I have a brand new computer. I have tried this in both firefox and internet explorer. i have downloaded IE9. i have deleted all my temporary interent files and set the space for them to 8mb (absolute minimum). i have deleted all cookies and all history. i have set it so it checks the web each time you open the page. i have set it so it clears all temp internet files on closure. i have set history to never remember. i have set webpage cache (on firefox) to ZERO. i have tried flicking through a dozen wikipedia pages first to try and clear any SAVED files i cant access. i have tried ctrl+f5. i have tried ctrl+alt and the refresh button. i have tried turning the computer off and then on again. i have tried suspending all my antivirsus software (norton).
The page will still not refresh.
Please, please can somebody help.just wondering .... what is the link to your livejournal page?

just want to see if my computer loads it without a hitch. If it creates same problem as you describe, livejournal has a problem. Else it's something on your pc giving the problem.

I recently moved into a new place and my roommate has his computer hooked up through a Modum. I live in the basement. What ways can I get my computer hooked up so I can have INTERNET access downstairs. We have it through the local cable tv system.. Do I need another modum or can I buy something that would get me internet connected?

Sorry, not a computer WIZARD. Thanks for any help.

DarrenA ROUTER allows using multiple computers on one internet service. Many routers have wireless capability and thereby allow wireless CONNECTIVITY with laptop computers with built-in wireless receivers or with desktop computers using a wireless adapter.

Are using a laptop computer? Is so, a wireless router would a solution for you. Using a cabled connection to the router, instead of wireless, means a cable would need to be run from upper floor to basement, or vice versa, depending on where the modem is located. Wireless would avoid the need to run the cable between floor LEVELS.

Before INSTALLING the LATEST ITERATION of Firefox it TOOK a few minutes for my Window Washer to RUN the 35 overwrite Gutman pass. Since installing the latest FF however, the same 35 pass option only takes a few seconds. I know FF said the the latest would make PCs run faster, but I don't buy it in this case. Any suggestions? thanx

if you are using a old version of the browser try installing the latest version accompanied with adobe flash player.

then check the you tube at night which will not so busy, some times you tube doesn't work due to their maintenance period

I have been receiving e-mails that say that they are coming because my info was GIVEN to an on-line type of form, e.g. donations, self-help, etc. I believe I know who it is doing this but I can't prove it. They e-mail used isn't our primary. It is an OLD e-mail that we just don't use. This "harassment" is aimed at my husband. But now the person filling these out is using my maiden name as my husband's last name; this makes it more worrisome since I have an uncle with that name. I am at a loss. We called the police when we received the prison pen-pal letter. They were not the most helpful.

I don't open any of the e-mail for fear of some bad virus etc. I have tried contacting some of the ORGANIZATIONS back but many times they just apologize and remove our DATA from their lists.

Any recommendations?Quote from: AirHalling on April 01, 2011, 01:30:56 PM

thanks ALLAN for this post it is REALLY well.

Bit of a long shot but does anyone use AOL per chance?
My friend uses AOL both as her browser and for her emails. (she has Vista by the way, and her AV is AVG).
The only thing that she has just installed is the latest Java Update and CCleaner, no other changes have been made for weeks.
We are communicating via a trusted website forum with no problems to date, and yesterday she also posted me from her AOL email to my hotmail account with no problems.
She has just posted via the web forum that when she now sends mail to my hotmail account (and to another of her friends who also has a hotmail account), that they are returned as unsent?
I've asked her to see what the error message was but in the meantime, not knowing much about AOL email, has anyone any ideas?
Are there any settings or something that need altering, and why has this all of a sudden happened within the past 12 hours?
RegardsIf she's using an AOL browser, she's working with an antique and needs to move up with the times. Show me any source of browser usage statistics that even mentions an "AOL browser". There no longer is an AOL browser except for some antiquated thing. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_Explorer as a historical reference.

I recommend she DUMP the "AOL browser" and AOL email. A Google gmail account would be a good option.

Thank you Soy,
I've now opened an account with AOL (temporarily) and got onto their email system (to see what's all about).
Can't see anything untoward apart from, as you say, why AOL.
There is NOTHING in there to block emails UNLESS you specifically state an address/site.
I agree and think that she should use another account!
Will get back and nag her, but it's nice to hear some feedback from this site.
Thanks
Regards

Just an update as L'm finding it difficult to contact her at the moment.
She has however opened a hotmail account and got in touch. I posted her and she received this.
Sorry it's all so vague at the moment and l REALLY appreciate any input.
To digress, i'm with Free.fr who are really just my ISP, are brilliant in the services they provide, but l can't stand their in-built email system. I switched to Thunderbird, using them as the supplier, and have had no problems since.
If she can't recieve hotmail emails through AOL's email system, but can through hotmail, then it is unlikely to be AVG causing the stoppages, it's got to be AOL themselves?
I think she's going to be happy with just the hotmail account, but l was just intrigued as to why AOL seems to be barring these and not others.
Anyway, will keep everyone posted.

I tried it a few DAYS ago, and my cpu was running 100% with 3 tabs open. I was watching a YouTube video in the process. The video was sluggish. I downloaded Opera, and didn't have a problem. I went back to Firefox 3.6., but had the same problem! I really like FF, but it's annoying to deal with at times. Opera and Chrome's extentions aren't that freat to me. Especially when it comes to blocking ads. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

And, what about your video specs? Are you using onboard video or an add-on card? I suspect you're using onboard and it is allocated only 8MB system RAM; that would explain the difference between a normal 256MB amount of RAM and the 248MB you mentioned; in other words, Win XP is subtracting the "shared" 8MB from 256MB and reporting 248MB when you view System Properties by right CLICKING on Computer and selecting Properties.

We have a Toshiba P200 laptop and have been connecting it wirelessly to a computer in another room for the INTERNET. The laptop runs Vista Home Premium. Most websites work fine, but some it seems to have a real problem with. I keep getting "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site -such and such - operation aborted." But I can see the page I want behind the error message so it's loaded most of the page. Clicking OK takes me to the cannot display page where no connetion problems can be found. I checked that SSL and TLS (WHATEVER they are) are enabled as suggested. Is it my browser or my security settings messing things up? It's very annoying to see the page you want behind the error message, then when you click on it you're whisked away to the "cannot display" page. Any ideas?A bit more INFO. The website I'm having problems with at the moment is supposed to allow you to put widgets onto your blog, so it may well be a security issue?
What version of IE (Internet Explorer) are you using? Did this problem start after updating IE to a newer version? Have you tried a DIFFERENT browser? If not, that may be the quickest solution. You could try Firefox, Chrome, OPERA, etc. They're all good.

On my laptop I have IE 9 and Vista. I have noticed that since I downloaded IE 9 over a month ago there are soemtimes things I can't do. For instance, on our banking site I can login fine but when I click on Make Payments it says "This SERVICE is temporarily unavailable". But we can go immediately to our desktop computer and make payments with no problem. What the HECK would cause this?? My laptop also won't allow me to login to my RETIREMENT website. Again, on the desktop - no problem - I can login. These are just a couple of of examples. It drives me and my wife nuts - HELP PLEASE!!! Well, we could discuss the issue you have with IE9 but I'm inclined to suggest you just try a different browser. I suggest you get Firefox 4 here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/Thanks. I downloaded Google Chrome and it solved the problem.

why is it I have the fasted speed internet my provider offers but my internet is so slow to lead pages. Could it be my browser?Don't know. Try a different browser and COMPARE.Run a speed test (of your internet connection) to see your actual speed. One test site is www.speedtest.net. This is a way to verify your actual speed and compare it to what your ISP is supposed to be providing. Hi I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4 last week. So far I love it. It's much faster, has a different LAYOUT and look better. You can try it too so that you can compare it to your browser that you are USING right now. You can also post here if you found any problem with it. hope it did help you. Free up disk space. A hard drive that is close to being full will drastically slow down your computer. You can clear up space by deleting temporary internet files, empty your recycle bin, remove programs that you do not use, put IMPORTANT files on an external hard drive.

Another way to free up disk space is to use "Disk Cleanup" on your Windows PC. To do this, click "start" and go to "Accessories", go to "System Tools", and click "Disk Cleanup".

Scan for Viruses, Adware, and Spyware. These nasty programs can slow down your computer worse than anything. I would recommend purchasing software that can remove all three of these common problems.

IE-8 Windows XP

Problem: On BOOTING, going on LINE and then opening IE-8 the toolbars are blacked out as shown at:

http://home.earthlink.net/~momotuk/IE8prob.gif

Note I run my desktop in Windows Classic theme as opposed to Windows XP Theme. If I now SET my desktop to Windows XP, the taskbars in IE-8 go back to normal. I can now reset my desktop to Windows Classic and IE-8 continues to operate in normal mode until I reboot for some reason.

Does anyone have a clue as to what is happening and ow to set THINGS so I don't NEED to switch to XP theme and back each time I reboot?

when I try to open internet browser...it says 'a problem caused the PROGRAM to stop working correctly'.

is there a way to fix this?What kind of internet browser ?I know this might seem obious, but try reinstalling the browser. If it's firefox, it should ASK if you want to DELETE the settings first.internet explorerhow do you reinstall the browser?Run the System FILE Checker
Click Start/ All Programs/ Accessories
Right click on the Command Prompt option, on the drop down menu which appears, click on the Run as Administrator option

Start the System File Checker

In the Command Prompt window, type: sfc /scannow, press Enter
You’ll see “the system scan will begin”.if this doesn't work download latest version of internet explorer and install.
alternatively you should try firefox For now, ignore the posts by moro.

What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)? And what is the EXACT error message you get?

Also, what happens when you try a different browser (firefox, opera, safari, chrome)?

Q: Movies are not working on the YouTube site. Why does it say I must enable JavaScript and Flash even if I already allowed youtube.com?
A: YouTube RECENTLY split its content across TWO domains, likely for performance reasons. Therefore you must allow both youtube.com and ytimg.com (you're probably missing the latter).

i have the same problem with mozilla firefox. first time it work fine and suddenly it stop working

Usually i have 50 tabs open. I have upgraded Firefox to version 3.6.15 and ADOBE Flash to latest version 10.2.152.32 | 10.2 r152. After that STARTED seeing constant hard drive activity and plugin-container was taking over 300Mb. I have disabled all plugins and Adobe Flash. The end result was positive - plugin-container now takes 1Mb, there is not hard drive activity and when i click on already opened tabs, they open faster. I still have not tried reactivating all plugins, but have a feeling the problem is in Adobe Flash.

Does anybody have same problem?

Anybody knows where i can download previous Adobe Flash versions? I will have to downgrade because i cannot live without Adobe Flash.Archived Flash Player versionsHave you considered you may be infected ? ?@Geek-9pm

My questions are; do they belong (hinder) Win 7 performance, should I remove them?

Hi,
Since I am new here please forgive me if this question was answered before. I need someone to help me with my laptop since it is driving me crazy. I have sony vaio laptop with Vista home premium with IE 7 or IE 8 I am not sure. My problem is that the IE is the only browser that I can use, since when I try to use Firefox or Opera or Google Chrom it says that I have no interent connection (which is bull since I am online constantly using my wireless router). My other two laptops use these browsers with no problem. ANOTHER problem is that when i try to instal any anti-virus program it again says no connection so I cannot update them or even register them, which makes them useless. This is same issue with my bittorrent. It does not connect to internet. So to summarize, I can use IE, MSN, yahoo messenger and download from hotfile, megafile sites, I cannot use any other browser, torrents, or do any av update. My other two laptops work fine. I checked all firewalls (router and laptop) and I cannot find what is wrong. I do not think it is router since other laptops work fine. So it got to be something with this laptop. Please guys/girls help me with this one. Thank you in advance.What protection apps do you have and when was the last time you updated/ran them ? ?Avira antivirus - free edition, updated yesterday. Is this what you mean? Also the standard firewall, but when I turn off either of these I still have the same issue.Just a thought, try booting your computer into safe mode with networking. See if the internet works for you on the browsers you've indicated to be nonfunctional for you.Sorry may sound stupid, but how do I boot it in a safe mode?Reboot. As soon as the system begins to boot start tapping the F8 (function) key. This will take you to the advanced boot options screen where you can choose safe mode with networking.Well, I did what you had suggested and everything worked perfectly. But when I backed up from safe mode it stopped working. So now what? BTW thank you for all your help.Backed up? I'll assume you mean when you booted to normal mode. It may be some SOFTWARE loading with the system that is interfering. Let's see.

Open msconfig and choose selective startup (disable everything from loading) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem reappears and you'll have identified the offending process. However, if the problem continues even with the first selective startup we'll have to FIGURE out something else.Just to keep you in loop, I've openned msconfig and did what you said (disabled everything from loading), but then I did not have any internet connection. So I openned msconfig and disabled load startup items (enabled load system services) and it did not work (I had interent connection but could not use other browsers but IE). So I will try to see what is cousing the problem, but there are so many things to turn on or off and when you go to services in msconfig on some of things it says that their status is "stopped" like computer browser.No need to continue with the test if other browsers do not work with a clean boot.Well I found a problem. Doing what you told me I found that for some reason OneCare Firewall still exist on my computer even though I uninstalled it. So what I did I openned msconfig and disabled OneCare Firewall and OneCare Antispyware and antivirus nad now everything works fine. Thank you for all your help. Just one more question. How do I find folder where OneCare is so I could permanently erase it from my laptop?If it's not in ADD/REMOVE programs you can download and run Revo Uninstaller - it will find and uninstall pretty much anything:
http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.htmlWell everything works fine now. Thank you for all your help. If I ever need any assistance this is the place where I will look for it. Thank you again.You're very welcome.

I suggest, you uninstall IE9: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-internet-explorer-9
It'll revert to IE8.
See, if you have same problem.I didn't have this problem with IE 8. Java worked fine on the 32-bit. I may try the uninstall TOMORROW - it's gettin kinda LATE here.Go ahead with that and if IE8 works fine, try to UPDATE to IE9 once more.

....and get rid of that registry cleaner...I got it working. I went back to IE 8 and then to IE 9 again. I then installed java in a brand new folder, and it's working now. Cool

Microsoft HOSTS a site at that shows IE 6 USAGE around the world. SEE http://www.theie6countdown.com/. In China, it's still being used by 34.5% of users.

To pass the test the browser must also display a generic favicon in the browser toolbar, not the favicon image from the Acid3 web server. The Acid3 server when asked for favicon.ico gives a 404 response code but with image data in the body. This tests that the web browser correctly handles the 404 error code when fetching the favicon, by treating this as a failure and displaying the generic icon instead.

The Acid3 test is practically useless for determining wether a browser supports the current standard

Internet Explorer is a web browser. So, I'm wondering whether you really meant "Windows Explorer", which would make more sense regarding the problem with Control Panel. Please confirm that the message actually says "Internet Explorer".

I am also agree with you; there should be the specification of this statement.

Let me get this right... You try to download an attachment and your computer RESTARTS? Is it a virus? have you scanned?

[glb]Flame[/glb]

Thanks to everyone who tried to assist with the problem I described earlier in the month [see below], the problem turned out to be Norton Firewall. Turning off the "Privacy" allowed the file to download. However, I am turning the "Privacy" back on after each download.



I have an interesting but perplexing problem.
When I try to download from one particular WEB site I GET their notice “You have tried to access the download page directly OR your internet browser will not allow you to view this page.” The company has advised that I lower my security settings, which are at medium. I have tried LOWERING but get the same response.

I do not have this problem with any other DOWNLOADS.

I am using XP with SP2 and Internet Explorer with SP2. Also using Norton firewall, Pest Control, and Spy SweeperTry another download site.....maybe server error!Does the problem still occur when you disable the firewall for a brief moment whilst accessing the server?No.I do not know how the Norton firewall works, but you may need to ADD the website to a trusted website list. If such a thing even exists in Norton Firewall.

:)I want to backup my bookmarks at OPERA.

As internet explorer favorites are stroed in c:\windows\favorites

Where are opera bookmarks stored in the computer?
Wild guess for Windows XP

C:\My Documents and Settings\User\Application DATA\Opera Hi I use Win 98In W2K:-

Documents & Settings > *User Name* > Application Data > Opera > Opera > Profile > opera6.adrIn win 98

C:\Program Files\Opera

under this folder

there are some files but i do not find anything that contains the bookmarksgo to help in opera......The bookmarks file name will be in your profile folder and have a .adr extension.Hi

I located the .adr file at my "profile"folder

but when i clicked it , it told :

"This file does not have a program associated with it
for performing the action. Create an assocition in my computer by clicking vew and then clickingfolder option."

Then i went to "Mycomputer"-> folder option -->" file Types" tab.

But what to do from here?

PL guide.I thought you just wanted to back up the file. To do that you could copy it into a folder for 'safe-keeping' and then if anything untoward happened you could just paste it back.

I'm not really up to speed with Opera so I don't know whether it has a bookmark backup facility, perhaps a trawl through their Help forum could give you a more definitive answer.

You could try to open the .adr file with Notepad. Right click on file and select 'Open with...' and then select Notepad.

Good luck!

Forgot to mention, you can open the .adr file with Notepad.

I have a new notebook (pentium m), we use dialup for the internet, my question is; Is there a WAY to use the cell PHONE as the "land-line" dialer? Our dial up number is local and we GET free local calling on our cell phones.You'll have to ask your cell phone provider. Some have this ability, many don't. In any event, you will pay extra for this service.One of my friends did that, used the cellphone as the dial up, but alot of cable internet is fairly cheap now, I mean I would have paid more to install a landline and then get dialup than I did to pay for cable internet. Shop around and ask ?'s there's alot of lower bandwidth SERVICES they won't tell u about b/c theyre not so expensive. I pay $25/month for 128k. cable lite.hehe. yay danasoft. ^_^Certain Palm PDA can make use of Earthlink. This is a cable leading from the PDA to a cellphone that supported it. It may be available for LAPTOPS as well.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't SEE it anywhere....
When adding a site to IE favorites sometimes the site has it's own icon which shows up when you drop the favorites menu. after a while it is replaced by the standard IE icon:
1> is this normal?
2> is there a WAY to retain the site icon?

Thanks Yes, this is normal. What happens is when you go to the site, they give you cookies and temporary files. This is why you see the icon. However, once you clear your temporary files, the image is gone.
