Every time I hit the key bet_een q and e, my computer launches _indo_s Media Player and AOL.com (of _hich I am not a user). It does not matter if I am on the internet, using MICROSOFT _ord or QUICKBOOKS !! It then knocks me out of the program I am using!! I have Norton Anti-Virus and have run a system scan -- resulting in no viruses detected. Does ANYONE kno_ _hat my problem might be and ho_ to fix it Remove the key from the keyboard and turn it upside down...then put it back on the keyboard...

Unfortunately that will result in all of your "w's" looking like "m's"...

Sorry...couldn't RESIST... *censored*... I GUESS THOSE KEYS ARE _ORKING!!!!!!!!!!! Don't be such a party pooper...I was just kidding for crying out loud.

Why don't you give us a little more info...like...

When did this start happening?

What operating system are you using?

What have you tried to fix it?

If available...have you tried System Restore to a date prior to this happening?

How about BOOTING into Safe Mode and tryig it there...same problem?Here's something you can try...

Right click on the shortcut that opens Media Player...select Properties.

Is there anything in the shortcut key box? If so, re-enter the key that was opening the program (in this case "w", without the quotes). Click Apply and then close that window.

Reopen the Properties window for the Media Player shortcut and then delete the shortcut key...then click Apply.

Do the same as above for your AOL.com shortcut.


Keep us posted...also... whay you t_ype like t_athe's typing like that because his W key was launching media player. Pay attention.Tried a new keyboard ?
Wired or wireless ?
USB or PS2 ?i have the same problem, mckee, any luck up to this point?Has anyone found a fix for this. I have the same problem.mckee67 did you ever get this problem fixed?Guys, guys, start a new topic.

Hello, these days i am having lots of problems with mozilla firefox (a fast browser like IE(Internet explorer)). First of all it always crashes and i thought that i had a problem with my internet which then i realised i didn't because IE works well and never crashes. I use Mozilla cause it's fast and the only browser i can rely on (an old user). But now today i checked all the websites i was registered to now it doesn't show the username and passwords i registered for it?! Also from now on i can't save any passwords for any WEBSITE I might need to change my default browser but i just love Mozilla for it's fast and the awesome add-ons it has. Is there a way to fix this?

P.S: The crashes happened for the past 2 weeks or so and the remember passwords happened yesterday-today. Also my internet slowed down a lot it starts with (when it shows the how fast it's downloading) with 5 kb/s! and then starts going up to the usual speed of 150kb/s+? So when i play watch MOVIES online games on my ps3 it goes at terrible speeds? I'm connected to Telstra and only used 48% of my allowance...

Thank you...Sorry about you problems.

The best I can offer is that you need to find out if you computer has been infected with some kind of "malware" or if the hardware is failing.

Fire Fox has a new version out that may be more reliable.

EVERYONE should have some kin of backup system for the computer. Some people use an external HDD and save everything. Others use a DVD burner and put the most important documents and other THINGS onto DVDs.

In fire Fox you can make a print of you current passwords by using the print screen key and then use a image editor to print the image on your printer.
You would go full screen with Fire Fox, show passwords, hit the print screen key. The go to start and programs then paint or whatever image program you like. Paste the image, then print it. If not all the passwords fit, scroll down and do it again. Keep the pages in a safe place.
What version of Windows are you using? What version of IE and Firefox do you have installed?

What protections do you use (firewall, virus, spyware, etc.)? What maintenance routine, if any, such as disk CLEANUP using Windows Disk Cleanup or CCleaner, and defragmenting your hard drive?

I use Vista HOME and everytime I click on a pdf link in the website, a WARNING message says it's probably not an effective digital signature and ask if I will allow or deny the operation.

Even I click on allow, I can't open the pdf. I suspect it's related to some security setting in IE but I just don't know how to fix it. Download, and install FoxIt: http://www.filehippo.com/download_foxit/I have a similar problem I'm running Xp Pro on a pc
When I click on a PDF file the XP Dialog Box Opens
to show the download. Then Adobe Reader 9.0.0 opens
with an error message right in the middle.
"There was an error opening this DOCUMENT. This file cannot be found"

Well I know it is not just this document.

If I download it to the desktop I can click it and open it from there,
but for me that a LITTLE bit of a hassle. I have tried reinstalling Adobe reader and that didn't change anything. Any ideasWait, just to double check, save the PDF to your Desktop, then drag it to IE.IE won't open pdf file, unless it has Acrobat Reader plug-in installed, and Adobe sucks.

Hi

Recently my COMPUTER was infected with a virus. So I formatted my drive and loaded on an older version of Windows XP (Pre SP2). It works for the most part however I get an error message when I try to get into my hotmail. also when I try to login on to certain sites I have joined the the internet freezes or won't go to the sign in page.

Does anyone KNOW how I can fix this

I am using Internet Explorer 6. Tried loading on IE 7 but I get an error saying it is incompatible with my version of windows.

Any help WOULD be appreciated.

ThanksHave you re-installed SP2 yet ? ?

Zone Alarm is a firewall, but you mentioned Symantec, so you must be using Norton, rather.
It may be your CULPRIT, since you 're able to connect in Safe MODE, where Norton is not loaded, yet.
This is what I suggest...
Download Norton Removal TOOL: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
Physically disconnect from the internet (disconnect modem's cable).
Uninstall Norton, using the above tool.
Turn Windows firewall on:
GO Start>Control Panel. DOUBLE click on the Security Center icon. Click on the Windows Firewall icon beneath the status updates. Click On, then OK.
Reconnect modem's cable.
Restart computer in Normal Mode, and see, if you can connect.
We'll go from there.I tried it, but it didn't work.

I just reloaded the system from the original disks. I do think it was a failed windows update that did the system in.Does everything work now?Yes. I reloaded everything and it works.Cool

My Sager laptop has started to go black and resets itself everytime I try to go on to INTERNET ExplorerWhat do you MEAN by "resets"? Restarts?
What IE version?

Please, post some computer info:

- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive LETTER, click "Properties")

I installed WOT on my FF3 now i can't get rid of the WOT BUTTON on the taskbar. When i customize the toolbar to not show the button it comes back when i close and open FF. Does this happen with everyone and is there a way to stop it showing up?

FBTaskbar, or status bar?If you are talking about BESIDE the ADDRESS bar (like mine), you can't get rid of it. Quote from: kpac on JANUARY 20, 2009, 02:20:43 AM

so like i had this problem for a long time already T_T, i really WANT help!

each time i stream a video online, i watch for 5 mins and all of a sudden the back of my pc makes a very loud vrrrooom SOUND. so i check the task manager and i notice that the firefox cpu is like 70-89%. when i stop the video, the cpu goes down and the sound from the back of the pc stops. i installed the latest flash player and plugin already but its still like that. its so weird! help

i have windows XP

Add another 512MB or RAM, and things will get better.woo, i dont know how i can do that. is that the only way?Upgrading RAM?
Trust me, you can do it.dude i dont even know how a RAM look like, and installing it? you're probably a COMPUTER genius I'm not, but if you're brave enough, we can guide you through.
Do you have any friend/family member, who could help a LITTLE?

Recently got a new computer, and now I can only see the URLs of LINKS in the STATUS bar when I right-click on them. How can I make hovering the cursor over the link enough for the URL to show up?

Browser: I.E. 7
O.S.: Windows Vista 64-bit SP1 (if this matters...)

Thanks.Do you mean in the Status Bar (grey bar at the bottom of window)?

GO to View > Status Bar. Does that work?Yes the status bar is ENABLED. Like I said, I can see the URL in it when I right-click on a link. I can even see the URL when I hover the cursor over an image link. But when I hover over a text link, nothing shows up.Is this on every site, or just on one particular site?On most sites - google, wikipedia, AMAZON and livejournal included - the URLs don't show up at all when I hover. Here they do show up. On some sites (like tv.com) they don't show up at first but might later. On others (like msn.com) they do show up at first but then disappear.

EDIT: Solved. Apparently one of my add-ons was to blame.Did you try Internet Explorer with no addons (or IE Safe Mode)?

EDIT: Sorry, didn't notice it was solved.

Hi All,
I've got problems with viewing Wiggle (a cycling website) I've tried three different internet browsers, IE, Firefox & Opera, uninstalling and re-installing them all. I have also tried a few different ISP's, uninstalled and re-installed my virus software (AGV), played with the security settings and anything else I can think of but all to no avail.

I am currently USING Windows Vista, and IE8 beta.

IE tells me that I have a DNS problem
Firefox tells me that I have an encription issue.

Over to you please help its driving me nuts.What's the actual link to the website?www.wiggle.co.ukWorks for me... At first I thought it might have been the site. Do you have any BLOCKING software that might be preventing you from viewing it (not necessarily blocked, but some INTERFERE with viewing sites), or are you using a proxy that might be intercepting your internet?

my internet just KEEPS cutting out for some reason. i just set up a wireless router for another COMPUTER in my house and pretty much ever since it keeps TURNING the internet off.Details...Wishful thinking on the system tray this is the internet network icon. it has the WORLD by it to say that its connected and i'll be like playing a game and it will say connection interupted and look down and the globe will be gone and it will say i will be connected to a local network.What type of internet connection ? ?its dsl im not shure how fast. Sounds like the Wireless router isn't set up properly...are you connected wirelessly, then? or via a ethernet cable?my PC is connected by network/ethernet(whatever you want to CALL it) cable, and i have another PC connected to my router with wireless

my laptop will not LET me sign into websites, im USING windows xp os i cannot sign into the sites using internet explorer or aol. At certain times i can sign onto the site using a pc on the same network then it will let me sign in, but not always.

Thanks ne help would be greatDid you try Firefox?i have no IDEA what firefox is
It's another browser: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Install it, and then we'll see, if this is a browser problem, or something else.
it MUST be an interner explorer problem because it works fine with fire fox
Good.
Close IE.
Go START>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same problem?it worked fine that way
Good. That means, one of you toolbars, or add-ons are giving you a problem.
In IE, go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, and click on "Reset" button.
Everything should be working fine, now.
If so, you may start re-enabling add-ons/toolbars, BUT only one-by-one, until you find the culprit.
Main suspects - toolbars: Google, Yahoo, etc.That did it thanks for all your helpYou're very welcome

its my friends computer that's doing it. when she goes to click on her internet explorer it it will come up but then a message will come up saying that there is a run time error. i TRIED scanning it with some anti-virus and it came up NOTHING. and i tried to OPEN it from different location and also tried running it as administrator.

my friends computer

When I open up my INTERNET, and GO to a SITE like, my yearbook, myspace, or facebook, a box will come up. the box will be blank. I can push one, of two buttons. I can push the X button or i can push another button inside the box. Then the browser will close.

Any help? IE? What version?

Last year about this time I started having problems with IE. Then my dad told me about Firefox and I've been using it ever since. I love it! HOWEVER there is one site from my dh's employer that we have to view with IE and mine won't WORK. When you click the icon it won't even open. If it does open it freezes and shuts down.

I tried updating it but that didn't help.

What can I do to make it work?

I have a 5 year old Compaq Presario with Windows XP.

My computer's running fine, however, when I'm on the internet, every so often I hear a bird chirp or a hawk or something screach. This lasts for about a second or two and then I won't hear it for maybe another hour or so. Do I have a virus?Is it possibly a beep code?I don't know. I can definitely tell you that the noises I described is exactly what I am hearing. They are not noises that sound somewhat like a bird chirping, they are. This has only started to happen within the past few weeks.
Thanks for the replyThis could be the work of a virus.... It could also be a banner ad., which has sound enabled... This is possible becuase it only happens on the internet... Have you tried running a virus scan anyway?

[glb]Flame[/glb]CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE SHIFT KEY IS NOT STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION.
This morning when I started my computer an odd chirpping type of noise CAME from my computer.
My computer started choosing multiple files or multiple words in all programs.
After trying a few remedies on LINE nothing worked and I started to freak.
In any case, I happened to BOW my head down toward the keyboard in frustration and noticed the shift key was stuck down. I hit the key and everything was back to normal. I checked all keys and everything ws perfect. Restarted the computer just to check. All is A-OK! Hope this helps someonechocolate, thanks for the info, but this THREAD is nearly 4 years OLD....

Some how in the process of downloading SOMETHING(can't remember what) i got some Fake ware on my computer. I used Windows defender, Malwarebytes, Spybot search and destroy, and Smitfraudfix to clear everything HARMFUL off. At this time I was able to connect to the internet.

After everything was clean I needed to move my computer and modem into another room. A tech guy from my ISP moved the outlet and left. Now anything that uses the internet cannot connect and when I pull up any browser its just blank. I can ping any site in "cmd" and I have a 0% packet loss and Avg: 34ms. and I can connect my laptop to the modem and it works just fine. Also I have a Linksys Wireless router (WRT54G v.3) and that will send a signal but no internet it broke at the same time.

I am not sure if this ISSUE is a hardware or browser issue.

I have a desktop PC that is using IE7 (hard wired) and a few laptops (wireless) connecting to my router. No problems until yesterday. The laptops can connect to the internet without a problem (though they are RUNNING IE6), but the desktop STOPPED working. I can ping several addresses and I can connect to the LAN, but IE7 just times out. I have RESET the router and PC several times and I disabled wireless on one laptop and used the hard wire and CONNECTED fine so it appears the problem is with the desktop PC. I'm baffled that I can ping though to www.google.com for instance, but the browser hangs. I reset the IE7 settings back to the original settings too, but still the same.

Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution?

Thanks Have you downloaded or installed anything new recently?

How are you pinging the sites? Command Prompt?Yes from the command prompt.

I think I have solved the problem. It appears my personal firewall was blocking IE7 traffic. Very strange.

with both firefox and ie8 i have to delete cookies before i can sign into any websitesNormally it's the other way around...what protection apps do you have installed ? ?windows live ONE care, its a vista laptop.

it also signs me out of every site, even if i click always STAY signed inYou do KNOW that Windows plans on abandoning Live One Care later this YEAR ? ?
I would look int some alternative protection for your machine...Does you browser allow JavaScript.

Everytime a internet window is closed, whether its a pop up that comes up then goes away, or i manually close it, a windows notification comes up sayin "windows has ENCOUNTERED a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" then it has a send error REPORT button or dont send. no matter what, the windows are closed. I have windows xp and im not sure which IE WHICHEVER comes with it im not sure how to tell.

Hi recently I noticed that some websites are not OPENING in my LAPTOP. I have internet connection alright. using Vista in my laptop. There was no such problem EARLIER. Any help would be appreciated. I also use live onecare antivirus.What kinds of websites?
When did it start?
What Internet Browser?And may I ask what does it have to do with programming??
Indeed. Moved.Hi CD,
sorry being out. Actually I was trying to open Drupal.org which used to load NORMALLY earlier, but all of a sudden they stop loading. I googled and pinged and did a lot of research the other day but is not resolved. Finally I came to conclusion that there's something wrong with the service provider. I am going to change the service providers soon.
Thanks for the response.
jet.I checked Drupal at a few different times today and it appears it's not on their end as it loaded fine...
What protection apps do you have and are you running a firewall ? ?I am using windows vista on my laptop.
I am only using Windows Live Onecare. I also got the firewall enabled.
I called up the service providers number of times. Finally they sent one guy, who brought his own laptop and connected to the wire and this site (drupal) did not load for him too. So I am assuming that the problem is not with my laptop, but with the service provider. Am I right?



and today I noticed that slowly one by one, many other sites are not opening too. These are just random sites from google which I was searching for someting. So basically whatever this thing is, it is blocking few more sites now!
If website is OK, and my laptop is OK, where do you think the problem would be??

thanks.Uninstall Live One Care...

Had enough of IE and downloaded firefox instead - much prefer it, and vista seems to love it.

Is there any way of safely deleting Internet explorer though? Its just taking up space now.

Cheers, guys.

Feenix

There is a way....but Don't. Just LEAVE it to one side.How integrated is Internet Explorer into the Vista operating system? I know that in past versions of Windows, removing IE was problematic. My suggestion, too, is to just leave it. I always delete Desktop and Menu icons so no one can easily use IE.
It's a waste of time trying to get rid of IE and not worth the effort as system issues can be created doing so...that being said delete the Desktop icons and PRETEND you GOT rid of it and move on.It's just like getting rid of a old girlfriend- you forget about them day to day, but when your main GF stops working, you have a backup.

except with browsers, you can run both at once, and it doesn't require quite as much engineering.Well i like your explanation alot better than mine...

Yes unfortunately the analogy doesn't work in practice. Even a girl raised by wolves knows when she's been used. Which is where the clever engineering comes in... usually involves robot replicas of oneself, large doses of amphetamines, and a LOT of tomatoes. Not sure where the tomatoes come in...Women love gardeners...could that be it ? ?
I always carry at least 2 tomatoes in my pockets at all times just for that reason...Possibly, there hasn't been sufficient RESEARCH yet to confirm exactly why tomatoes help so much. However, other experiments found that they don't fare well nder the influence of poison, million degree tempuratures or sub-zero temperatures, which leads me to believe they are themselves a plant which would quite well explain their fondness for gardeners and tomatoes.Sometimes even two GIRLFRIENDS don' suffice, and you'll need yet another one to satisfy your 'needs'

All Google searches from around 8:30 to 9:30AM Central Time USA - had the LINK:
"This site may harm your computer"
I was at first wondering if all sites caught malware.
But thinking more LIKELY - Google security - was adjusted too tightly.

Anyone else see this?
I went to a second computer - to VERIFY that the same issue existed.
It did - so was not malware on a particular computer.

At aprox. 9:40 AM CST - the "This site may harm your computer" link had been removed.

Google did it to one of my sites!
There was nothing of INTEREST on the site. I had only uploaded some templates from Front Page and left it 'till I could get back to it. The site got blackballed by Google. Not a joke!

Hi.

I recently bought a laptop, transfered my AOL account to it.

I try to access my email from AOL homepage and IE7 hangs. I access it from the AOL toolbar and it works.

I have asked AOL about this and they SAY its a problem with IE7 and microsoft, not them. I contact microsoft and I can't even GET a response.

Does ANYONE know why its hanging up and have any advice on what I can do about it?

Cheers, guys

At PRESENT I have internet exployer 7,should I download exployer 8 instead?
ThanksNope, I'd stick with IE7 for now.

You could try Firefox, of course: http://en-gb.www.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/ Ok thanks,just wondering if my COMPUTER WOULD stop freezing at times if I downloaded the IE 8.I TRIED before to get firefox,but had problems and never could get it.I have Dell comp with windows Xp home edition.Thanks for the fast reply.IE8 is in beta stages. Never install betas on your main computer.

Please, post some computer info:
- processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo KEY, hit Pause/Break key)
- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")

Tell us more about freezing issues.Don't know if I did it correctly ,but this is what I have. 1.99GHz,256 MB of ram,pentium(R)4cpu 2.00 00G Hz,53 % free space,15.31 GB
thanks,Most likely, your computer freezes, because you don't have enough RAM.
XP'd like to have at least 512MB of RAM, 1GB ideally. Don't exactly know what Ram is,but is there anyway to correct this problem?I have the CCleaner,should I delete anything in that?If so what blocks should I check for it to clean up?Kinda a beginner with computers. You need to get more computer memory (RAM).Ok,that sounds easy.How do I do that If possible?What computer brand, and model is it? My computer is a Dell desktop with windows XP home edition,model 4550.I purchased it new in 2002.
Thanks,Here you go: http://crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Dimension%204500%20Series

I got a REALLY strange problem... Up to now it WORKS, and on my other computer it works, but in GOOGLE Chrome and IE 6, as well as FF3 it makes it look simple... Does do this with other browsers as well...
(BTW when loading this page I got disconnected and it started looking like this):


P.S. I tried restarting, clearing cache, using Ccleaner, etc.Code: [Select]Doesn't do this with other browsersYou answered your own question.
I can't use IE7 either.
I use Fire Fox 3.

And yes, I have another computer that does
not have the problem.

OK, try to get a new upload of FF.
They have made recent changes.
Also, Sea Monkey is a good alternative browser.
If you get the same problem with Sea Monkey, there has to be something wrong with that site.

opened a session in MESSENGER to chat with friends but the computer is just writing messages and sending like this one "open dis ganda nakakatawa" can someone help is it viruses the cause or what pleaaaaaaaaaaaseVisit our Virus and Spyware section and follow the instructions at the top of the page.Bear in mind that this is an autorun worm. TRY to do as little as possible with the computer until it's clean. And also be sure to cleanup/disinfect or reformat any flash DRIVES you have used with FlashDisinfector.

You might want to run the below attached tool as well before running FlashDisinfector.

Flash DRIVE Cleanup

Download Flash Disinfector by sUBs and save it to your Desktop.

• Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it.
• Your desktop and icons may disappear. This is normal.
• It will do a cleanup of removable STORAGE devices, and write a protected Autorun.inf file to help prevent re-infection.
  
• Follow any prompts that may appear.
• The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
• Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
• There will be no GUI interface or log file produced.
• Reboot your computer when done.

I am wondering if I can get more screen space by getting rid of some of the grey bars at the top of the screen, its just a waste of space as far as I am concerned. (See photo)

[attachment deleted by admin]Right CLICK the toolbar in FIREFOX and select "use small icons"...Try to right click on the bars you want to disable and uncheck them..Quote from: PATIO on January 20, 2009, 07:33:49 AM

Hi, I'm not sure if this problem belongs in this section, my apologies if it doesn't. For about a week now, there are certain sites that I cannot visit no matter which Internet browser I use. Firefox tells me Address not Found and IE says Page cannot be displayed. I even downloaded Opera and still got the same thing. All the sites I try to access are .bg domain names, that means they are from Bulgaria (I'm Bulgarian myself). I am able to access these sites from other computers, which means that this is not a website-related problem. I have changed absolutely no settings on my computer, web browsers or settings for the way I connect to the Internet. I don't have a firewall, proxy, and I have scanned for viruses and all that and got nothing. Is this a problem from my ISP? Thanks. Download HijackThis:

Nothing here. It's clean.

Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.

If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Restart computer.

If that doesn't work...

At Command Prompt, type in:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
Hit Enter.
Type in:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Hit Enter.

Restart computer.


If that doesn't work...
Download, install, and run WinSockFix: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml
Restart computer, and check again.I really appreciate your reply. A few DAYS ago I tried restarting the router and the computer, and it worked. Today I experinced the same problem, and tried the "netsh int ip" thing and it fixed the problem. It seems I am able to FIX it, but any idea as to why it might keep occuring? I'd suspect some hardware problem. Router/modem/network card.
If you're using router, try to connect straight to the modem for couple of days, and see, if connections holds.

I receive a lot of links with my EMAIL because I belong to Tag groups.
When I open a link and then close it it CLOSES my email also. I looked at the Tab section in Internet Options and the box that says "Warn Me When Closing Multible Tabs" is checked.
What's going on here?
ThanksIs it happening with every link or just one?Thanks for responding.
I resolved the problem. I had downloaded a trial of WINZIP and with it a GOOGLE search and toolbar downloaded also. I removed the Google program and haven't had a problem since.Yea, Google toolbar is annoying SOMETIMES although I don't see how that could have been the problem....

I have 20 weeks information showing and weeks 7-20 work fine , CLICK on them and down pop the websites. But it STOPPED storing information 6 weeks ago , when I click on say today or 2 weeks ago , nothing at all happens and it is a pain not being able to access my history. Anyone know what it could be?What is this? Internet Explorer?

It's possible the history is full. Why do you need history from 15 weeks ago?i cant imagine its full: but heres how you'd check if you don't know...

internet explorer menu bar across the top of the screen, select Tools>select Options>select General Tab>PRESS the Settings Button> make a note of Amount Of Disk Space To Use> Move the Slider to the right a little bit >Press The Apply Button>Press OK Button

close all instance of internet explorer, wait several seconds for your processor to catch up, and restart it and see if anything changed. Quote from: foggs on February 08, 2009, 01:36:00 AM

Hi. I USE Firefox on the Net. But when looking at Microsoft's Web site a box asking if I wanted to download Microsoft's SILVERLIGHT came up. Is it worth me doing that or do I not need it as I am using Firefox?
Thanks for any replies.Well, first of all I think you know but just in case - silverlight is not another web browser.

If you did a little browsing with my favorite search engine, then you would find some answers to your questions. I did a search but did not find anything that told me for sure if I need it. I think it is just for IE, but am not sure about that, which is why I asked.Well if you have Flash installed then there is no need for silverlight, so it's your choice really. Basically a choice between silverlight and flash.It's just another addon to liven up the web.

Hi I moved our main computer and added a DLink wireless USB to it and disabled my Ethernet card

The DLink wireless connects fine and communicates with the modem however when I open Internet Explorer it will not find my home page nor will it find any other SITES just keep getting the Page cannot be found Error it just will not connect to the internet.

I disabled my fire wall (Comodo) but first made sure it was POINTING to the DLink which it was. I also checked that IE was an allowed programme which it was
I disabled AVG as well.
But I still get this PROBLEM it happens with Google Chrome and Mozilla as well, I checked the options in IE but could not see anything obvious that would restrict IE from accessing the internet.

I set my daughters comp up with an identical DLink wireless and IE, Mozila finds the internet and loads the home page.

I now do not know what to look for next any assistance would be appreciated

RichardTurn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from POWER SOURCE for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.

If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Restart computer.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

At Command Prompt, type in:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
Hit Enter.

netsh winsock reset catalog
Hit Enter.

I'm new to this, so I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong place. When I have multiple windows open through the internet and I close ONE, they ALL close. I've poked around my computer trying to fix it, but I am pretty much computer illiterate. It is a problem when a window opens during an online purchase and it automatically closes when I click in it (it's not a pop-up, but for purchasing a warranty on electronics). Can anyone help using layman's terms?I assume, this is Internet Explorer? What version? What Windows version?
Try to disable all add-ons...
Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-onsI disabled all add-ons, and it seems to have worked. THANK YOU!! Now, you can start enabling them one-by-one.
Enable first one, open couple of IE windows, close one, and see if second one stays.
Repeat this procedure with each add-on, until you'll find the culprit.

Try Firefox, you may like it better.Quote from: kim1218 on February 09, 2008, 10:19:46 AM

This is explore 7 its just the way it was made by default so that multi pages didn't have to come up. Just so you know.

how can that noit be?? In IE 6 you had all these windows all over the place compared to IE 7 an its security improvements.

Well two days ago Firefox messed up. My bookmarks and HISTORY disappeared and also it never shows the correct url. It also never STOPS loading a page. To fix it i have to uninstall it and REINSTALL it. Then that solves it until it happens again. A few MINUTES ago i reinstalled it and it happened immediately.

I have vista home premium (32 bit), 3 gb of RAM. If you need to KNOW anything else then ill be happy to give more.

Also When i reinstall firefox all of my history and bookmarks and such come back.

I also noticed that if i restart my computer twice firefox gets restored. Its really weird and annoying. Backup Firefox data with Mozbackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/, then go with clean reinstall: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

I have the latest RELEASE of java on my laptop, but my work intranet requires, for some ODD reason, Microsoft Virtual Machine, I cannot connect without it.

i NEED to install this in order to do my work (at home) but i cant FIND it anywhere on microsoft website. they have a DIAGNOSTIC tool download that, wow, correctly identifies that it is NOT installed on my computer, BUT there is no link at all, for more information to either find, or download, the Microsoft Virtual Machine. I have ie6, and tried to upgrade to IE7, thinking this might do it, but that just made my laptop crash and the end of the installation. I had to rollback to before the installation in order to get it to boot!

PLEASe someone help me, we have no IT staff anymore, we are on our own and i dont wanna get fired because i am a stupid computer user. What am i doing wrong?

Please help me thanks,

JerriMicrosoft Virtual Machine 5.00.3810

I did not find anything in the previous posts that might come close to my question, so if there is an answer already, I apologize. What I am wanting to know, is there a spot in my computer that I can access that would show me all activity on the computer? The main thing I am looking for is previous internet searches. Searches that have been deleted from the temporary internet files FOLDER or even history.noWell, I did a bit of this and came across this.Quote

no

I think he means everything was deleted including the index.dat files....

Searches that have been deleted from the temporary internet files folder or even history.
