Would really appreciate it if anyone has any advice on the following problem which is really annoying me with Internet Explorer at the moment.
When in any webpage after a few seconds I am redirected back to the previous page every single time. If i click on a link in a webpage it will take me to that link, but only for a few seconds before it sends me back.
Also when I click on the Start button at the bottom left of the SCREEN it appears very briefly then disappears unless I keep the left mouse button held down.
I think I have a virus on my computer but have Antivirus software saying it is clean.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

KevinWhat antivirus are you using and is it up to date?
Are you also using antispyware?
When did this start happening?
Did you CHANGE anything before this problem began?I have Norton Antivirus and it is in date. I think I have some sort of SPYWARE virus, it constantly brings up a red box at the bottom right of my screen.
It started happening on Saturday and I havent knoingly changed anything at all.

I originally got a serious virus on my computer a few months ago where my antivirus had expired. A friend REPLACED the hard drive and reinstalled windows on my computer and everything was fine. Had this spyware (red box) for a few weeks now)
Try posting in the viruses and spyware thread, as this is a problem with viruses and spyware
You'll get more attention from people there, attention from experts on viruses etc
They'll be able to help youAnd I will go AHEAD and lock this thread.

Hi there,
I have a problem with IE. :-?
The problem started with IE6.When I click on an IE search result,I am diverted to what appears to be an advertising page.If I click back and then click on the result again I get the page I want.
This is more annoying than anything else.
I have dowloaded(sucessfully) IE7,in the hope that by OVERWRITING IE6 the problem would be solved,but it is still there.
I should add I have tried Ad Aware,Lavasoft,Spybot,etc and NORTON Virus,but without any success.
So far the problem seems to be restricted to IE,If I use my ISP's own browser there is no problem.
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome.cwshredder

:- I saved emails onto a dvd-r , bought a new computer, and now battling to get my OLD emails into my new inbox. Anybody help?So, you have .dbx files on your DVD, right? Exactly, what technique have you tried? Are you using OE 6?YES, OE 6.
Tried the obvious copy and paste, send to,......manage to copy the folder from the disc to My Documents but still can't get it to OE inbox. I emailed the folder to myself but it came thru as an attachment and still can't open the attachment - when asked "open as" I had to browse for OE but it doesn't open the folder (using windows xp) - there must be an easy way! Tried Import from OE inbox but only OFFERS to import from other OE type programs...
Any ideas?PS: yes dbx files on the dvdTry this. Put the .dbx files wherever you want to permanently keep them on your hard drive. I would create a folder outside of My Documents, but that's up to you. Open OE and go to Tools, Options, Maintenance, and CLICK on the Store Folder button. Click on Change, and change that to the folder where your .dbx files are located. Click OK and close out of OE. Open OE again and see if your messages now appear in Inbox.

By the way, in your old computer, did you add folders in OE, or were you only using the standard Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, ETC.?Success! Many thanks Soybeen.
Yes, I did have other folders, copied each one separartely. Suspect I could create new folders in my new OE and then move their store too?Have to sign off now - seem to have got my other folders working in the same folder.
Thanks for your help, Soybeen

Hello

I purchased a Toshiba LAPTOP and keep GETTING Red X in left corner of pictures on Web Pages. Anyone know why?

Thanks The pictures on the webpages may not be available.
(Post the address of ONE of them for us to check)

Your BROWSER may be set to 'not display pictures'.

You may have an INTERNET accelerator running.
(No gain without pain)

Someone please help. Running IE 6, for some reason my computer has started closing web pages if i request an additional page? eg, if i'm reading my MSN e-mails and want google open, i would hit the IE logo in the bottom left quick LAUNCH bit(?) and ANOTHER page would open. Now it opens but closes my old page

Sure this must be an easy fix, but as you can tell very much a Newbie.

Many thanks

Any more suggestions?

It took you 10 minutes to go to Panda and perform the online virus scan, then reset IE to it's defaults.
I don't believe you. To open each browser session in a new window,

Click on Tools/Properties/Advanced tab.....Un-check where it says

"[] Reuse windows for launching shortcuts"

Click on [OK] at the bottom.


My 2½¢Cheers so far, but still no luck??

Fed, thanks for the trust, found an old forum answer which stated the same reponse and had already tried it.

Do i need to reboot after adjusting any of the Advanced options?

Cheers guys,

any other ideas would be gratly recived.

Thanks again I'm not a very trusting person.
IE will warn you if it requires a re-start after a change.
Resetting the defaults should have done the trick so this is now turning into a mystery.
Are you sure you're doing it right?Will have another look at it all, Have now run Panda, Spybot, and a full F-Secure system check, found a couple of things cleared them all off. Will go and check the defaults again.

Update poss later.

Thanks
Have gone round the whole thing again, still no luck? :-?

Really starting to bug me now, PLEASE HELP ME.


Big thanks waiting for the cure.

Thanks

Hi,

For the past 3 weeks or so i have been UNABLE to log into hotmail, sign onto msn MESSENGER and purchase anything over the internet from the usual online shops; play.com etc. I have run all the usual anti spyware programs: spybot, ad aware and avast antivirus aswell as disk cleanup, defrag, and removing cookies/temporary internet files. i have a hp pavilion computer windows xp sp2, 2.80ghz 512mb ram. I cant remember for sure but i think the problem stems from me fiddling with the internet connection settings - which services use the internet for example. i think these were things like printer sharing service and .net passport network, which i think is linked to the hotmail and msn problem.

does anyone have a solution or encountered this problem before?

thanksHere's a start:

Kudos to Raptor and Fed.Go on, what settings exactly did you fiddle with? Certainly the .NET passport STUFF will be related to MS site security.

Have you tried using a different browser? If you're using IE, you should change it anyway. Try Firefox, Opera, Slimbrowser or Maxthon.hi, i tried the online security test and it identified around 30 spywares, all of which were cookies. i have cleared all pivate data in firefox and also followed the advice for IE, but the problem still stands. i fiddled with the settings for:

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Client for Microsoft Networks

Currently, they are all enabled (ticked), is this correct?

The problem seems to be with submitting data; transactions and logging into the hotmail account although i can still log into my yahoo account. Seems very strange. In addition, after running spybot, i found a piece of spyware named something like Disable.Microsoft.Firewall, which i removed but it turns up on every scan.

Thanks for help so farSounds like you are not completely free of malware I'm afraid. As my good friend GX1_Man would say, until that point, all bets are off.

Would you be averse to a reformat-reinstall? Starting with a clean slate is helpful, therapeutic and cures most woes (other than the woe of running MS Windows itself).looks like a dead end then?

As an intermediate computer user, i tend to experiment quite alot, after all its the best way to learn, but obviously it can lead to situations like these where there is no way out but a clean wipe of the hard drive.

I've been thinking of getting an external hard drive, to store my music and films on (as i have more than 30gb worth; too much to back up on dvds), what are the pros and cons of this, eg would any viruses be able to get onto the external hd and how easy is it to update the hd with data (would it be drag and drop like a flash drive?)

Just remember that ALL hard drives die eventually, so not backing up to secure media like CD/DVD's will only postpone, not prevent, a total loss of data. Just a thought.

Did you not post a link a few days ago

to a site that showed how long you can Expect CD's to last, i think it said that in Perfect Conditions a cd would last 50 years , if it was a good CD

ok thanks for all the advice, i'll probably end up reformatting and getting an external hd, as the prospect of my music collection spread over several discs scares me!. In addition, it would be far easier to add the odd album or two to an HD rather than waiting for 4.7gb to burn onto a disk.

1. Would an external HD randomly die on me even if i only connected it for 30mins a week just to update?

2. Are there any programs/built in windows features which update your external HD from selected folders when you connect, similarly like an iPod would in iTunes?

3. How often do the more experienced users among you have to reformat because of viruses/spyware? or do you reformat every so often just to start again?

Hi all. Yet another newbie here needing help.
I have a problem which didn't seem to occur previously but is now causing a
lot of inconvenience for me. I'm running XP on a Toshiba notebook I think
IE5. Whenever I use websites that require me to fill-in forms/register (most
recent examples include applying for a new bank account and a yahoo! email
address) I complete the fill-in forms/registration and when I click on
complete/OK (usually after at least 10 minutes of form-filling!) my browser
just totally closes, like disappears as though I've clicked on the red x in
the top right CORNER. Basically I can't complete transactions and
registrations.

I really have no idea what's causing this but it's becoming as real pain. I
can't even sign into my university email account from home. A friend told me
it had something to do with my java or ActiveX settings, but they're at
default. Reading the microsoft pages the symptoms are similar to those
outlined in an article about the 832894 (MS04-004) security update in which
critical update 831167 is CITED as a resolution. I really can't figure this
out. I've POSTED on a few forums but nobody seems able to provide a solution.
My cipher strength is 128-bit. I really need to get this resolved as I WORK
from home and this is causing real problems for me.

Any ideas/suggestions hugely appreciated

THANKS for all/any replys in advance
Craig
Update Windows. Do you have SP2?

Update IE to the latest version.

Run Spyware/virus scans in safe mode with system restore turned off.

Post back here with the results.

I'm having trouble with my history showing up in Internet Explorer 6. It keeps showing only History and desktop in the sidepanel, and won't even record the history from like 5 minutes ago. Is there any way I can fix that without having to resort to a large number of programs?RESET everything and see if that helps:


1. Start
2. Settings
3. Control Panel
4. Internet Options
5. Security tab
6. Reset all 4 security zones to Default

1. Start
2. Settings

If the computer is not clean, all bets are off. What are you using for malware protection.I've tried everything you suggested, I even cleaned my system. Still, my history doesn't show up. Oh, and I'm on Win 98

I can't click on any links so I can't even get into microsoft's community forum becasue when I click on links my page freezes. I was using IE6 and thought by installing 7 would help but it seems worst. I get this error when I try to register this file, mshtml.dll was loaded but the DLL registry server entry point was not found, can't be registered. How do I fix this?Scan you scan for Viruses and Spyware?

If you have allready done so, what have you used?

You should use FIREFOX in the future.I just did a system restore from yesterday which had my IE6. I then went and register all those files like this regsvr32 urlmon.dll and etc. The mshtml.dll worked this time. I was wondering if the IE 7 caused it? I'm using Panda Interent Security suite 2007 trial to see if I like it. I was using CA E Trust but thier new version of the firewall I didn't like. The Panda uses more programs on startup but if it's better I guess I can live with it.Quote

I have windows XP with security Pack 2. My Internet Explorer will NOT open multiple windows. I have read previous posts on this & tried every TIP POSSIBLE....INCLUDING going to TOOLS - INTERNET OPTIONS- ADVANCE TAB & unchecking "reuse windows for launching short cuts". Any more suggestions?Yes, DITCH Internet Explorer and get Firefox

I've thought about FireFox however. I have been told that certain websites do not support the Firefox WEB browser. Was also thinking about downloading the new IE 7 . Any comments on either?Just do a google for IE7 problems and you'll get lot's of reactions on it...

I have yet to see a page that won't load properly in FireFox...the ones that don't i probably have no use for anyways.

You will however still need IE for Windows updates since Gates is still such a control freak.

My OS is Windows 98SE. I am USING IE v6. The question is: How to make the the prints on a web page into BOLT style or make it darker so that it can be read with ease?
Go to Tools > Internet options.

On the General tab, click the "FONTS" button at the bottom. You can't make it bold, but you can make it anything else you want.

NOTE: Any webpage with a specific font will OVERRIDE your choice. It only works on pages that do not specify a particular font.

This PROBLEM started yesterday and i can't seem to find what the problem is. Every time i get a pop-up or when i click something and it opens in a new window my internet comes up with the notice to send error report or dont send thing i sent it once. i have a pop-up blocker and i get the occasional pop-up here and there. I have windows defender and i scanned for viruses and it didn't find ANYTHING. I have IE 6, and my computer is window xp. and help would be greatly appreciated.Lot's of folks have been reporting that in the last few days. Unsure if this is a Microsoft update problem (do you have it set to auto update?), a phase of the moon, random occurrence or what.

Try Firefox as this may have much more to do with IE.

I would also try the PANDA ONLINE scanner:

Kudos to the CH fella's for keeping it safe.

Suddenly - three DAYS ago - my IE and OE 6.0 began to behave very STRANGE.
1) The TOOLS at the TOP disappeared and haven't returned
2) The ACTIVITY FIELD at the bottom disappeared and hasn't returned
3) The screen divided horisontally into two PARTS with sender and reciever address at the bottom of every e-mail , which in FACT are recieveable.
4) The computer has gone into "slow motion"
PLEASE, HELP ME!Scan for viruses/spyware.And see below.

is there a SAFE WAY to REMOVE internet explorer from your computer?No. It is an integral part of Windows.That's what Bill GATES says. These guys say different:

Hi

When i click onto an internet page i always go onto an old version of that page not the up to datepage...BETTER if i give an eg. ie i go onto my ebay page and the page that loads up is from the previous time i LOGGED on; i have to refresh to get the current page

any help would be greatHow about throwing us a bone LIKE what version of Windows, what version of IE, how your security settings are set up, what malware protection you are using, or just ANYTHING?

See below.In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, General tab, and click on Settings. Under "Check for newer versions of stored PAGES", what SETTING do you have? If "Never", try changing that to Automatically and see whether it resolves your problem.

Hi,
I have this wired problem. I am using Windows XP SP2 with LATEST updates. I have enabled "Group similar taskbar BUTTONS" from Taskbar properties. Earlier I used to have Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer in different Groups in Taskbar. But, all of a sudden (I DONT remember what exactly have I CHANGED), IE and windows explorer come under the same group in the taskbar. Please suggest me how do I get back the original behavior.

thanks,
-manirupTry this simple technique. DISABLE "Group similar taskbar buttons" and verify that Windows behavior has changed accordingly. Then re-enable "Group similar taskbar buttons".Already tried this. doesn't help.

Everytime I go to download a video off of a Web site (any video type at all), the IE download box comes up and starts downloading. Downloads over 100MBs never finish. It always gets to about 40% to 50% complete and then the "estimated time left" and "transfer rate" just stops. The top picture with the internet icon transferring files to a folder is still moving but everything else just stops and never finishes. I can try to restart and download again but I get the same results everytime, sometimes it will stop working even sooner.

I have a broadband connection and am using IE 7--though this has happened with IE 6 also--and I have Norton ANTIVIRUS but I always disable it as well as WINDOWS Firewall when I am about to download.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me with this problem that's been going on for a while. Quote

and I have Norton AntiVirus but I [highlight]always disable it[/highlight] as well as Windows Firewall when I am about to download.

Ever since I downloaded MOZILLA Firefox to give it a try, I've had nothing but trouble with my Internet Explorer, which I want to go BACK to using. It OPENS up fine in Safe Mode, but otherwise I can see it in the taskbar at the bottom only and then have to click on restore so I can see it properly. Reinstalling isn't an option because I don't have my Windows XP Pro disk. I've tried using scannow and Registry Mechanic and I've also ran SPYWARE checks with Ad-Aware and virus scans with Kaspersky Internet Suite. Please help, it's driving me crazy!First of all: why of why do you want to go back to Internet Explorer? Next you'll be telling us you're going to remove all the locks from your doors!

Secondly though: the problem is probably due to a tiny window size or odd location for IE. You can fix this! Right-click on the IE button on the task bar and then choose size. Then use the ARROW KEYS on your keyboard to resize the window (which obviously you won't be ABLE to see, initially). Alternatively, right-click and choose move; again use the arrow keys until IE comes back into view. If it's off screen, it's usually to the bottom or right, so use the up or left keys.

Hope this helps.Quote

I have had more IE crashes this weekend on my Windows boxes around the house than I have had in the last 2 years? Anyone else having this pleasure?After the latest Windows Update I did last week...I started experiencing a lot of IE crashes.

I did a cleanup of my system...REMOVED unwanted programs...ran my registry cleaner and the crashes have since disappeared.

Did yours start occurring right after your most recent Windows Updates?YES, and I imaged the boot drive back and it stopped briedfly, probably until I got the last round of updates.

Let's see what others report.Hi GX1_Man ...... I received the 9 updates a few days ago and apart from the sudden disappearance of the hide icon BUTTON , I havent noticed anything out of the ordinary . My second machine TOOK the updates without any issue ...and the third one is shut down right now as I am pulling a dvd drive out of it to put into machine number 2 .

dl65 Sorry to hear your issue GX1_Man. I don't use IE except for Windoze updates and on 1 other site. Other than that I use only Firefox.

Hope you get it resolved as you and the other moderators are a great asset to this community

Alan <>< Uninstall the most recent update, turn off automatic updates and do update selectively. MS is slipping some crap in through auto update and it does cause problems.It may very well be a patch issued earlier this month:

IE Crashes

There are no listed findings of where this error is coming, when I TRY to scan this error pops up and will not let me close it "IE Script Error An Error has occured in the script of this PAGE", Funny thing I am in our OFFICE's dental software program that is untied to the IE.

Hi

How do i save websites and there content, so that i can read it offline using internet Explorer.Click on Bookmark > Add Bookmark.

Check "Make available offline".

If needed, customize with the Customize... button.

You'll still need to open IE to view it... but it'll work offline (if you're in offline mode).You can also just use File, Save As, in IE. However, if you want to LATER SYNCHRONIZE, i.e., update that offline WEB page, I believe the procedure posted by DILBERT is best.To copy large sections of websites, you can use HTTrack. Find a link to it in the SOFTWARE FAQ (see my signature).

Don't stop me if you've heard this one before...

I looked around the forum and didn't find ANYTHING that fixed my problem. Hoepfully you guys can help me out.

My version of IE 6.0 for some reason won't clear some URLs that I've either typed in, or searches I've done on google.com.

They're really weird things to hold onto as well. One is a random link on 411mania.com (a sports/movies website). I'd like to use that AUTOCOMPLETE function, but find out a way to clear out the old URLs. I've tried cclean, and I've tried simply "Clear History" in tools.

Any ideas?Are you free from malware? WHat are you using? In safe mode with system restore turned off?

Sorry, new to this.

I'm using WinXP. Not sure what malware is. And no, I'm not in safe mode, and I do have system restore on.

I'd hate to do a restore and lose a bunch of stuff. But, if I have to I guess...Quote

I have Windows XP and a dial-up Internet connection. When I connect to the Internet, Internet Explorer doesn't open automatically. I have to open it manually by clicking on the desktop IE icon. I had Windows 98SE on another COMPUTER that has since broken beyond repair, and each time I connected to the Internet, IE opened automatically and immediately. I have looked at Tools-Internet Options-Advanced Tab and I don't see an option for SETTING IE to open automatically upon connecting to the Internet. Does anyone KNOW how I can correct this? Thanks for your replies.If you open IE .... click on tools/Internet options/connections make sure you have ticked..... dial whenever a network connection is not present. Then click apply and ok....... Now whenever you startup, click on the IE shortcut and it will dial up and your connected.

dl65 You can also go to the same place as dl65 recommends and choose "Always dial my default connection".

For the past 5 DAYS or so, my Internet has been locking up. I use Firefox, but tried it in Internet Explorer and again, same thing.

More specifically, this is what happens:

I go online, go to any page, such as my college's web site, and browse. Then suddenly it'll freeze and say "Not responding" at the top of the page. I wait for about 20 seconds and it will resume as usual. A few minutes later, it'll do the exact same thing over again and this goes on until I close the net.

I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of...virus scanned using 6 different programs, I've tried different wireless networks, nothing works.

Some details...I use Windows XP, I am on a laptop (ASUS A3H, just bought it in May) using wireless (been using it for 3 years), and my ISP is Sympatico.

Can anyone help me figure out why this problem keeps occuring? I am enrolled in an online course at college, so it's pretty important that I can get this working again. Unfortunately, due to it being Thanksgiving today, nobody is open.

Thanks a lot.

What scanners have you used?

What have they found?

Does it happen with other programs as WELL?You mention virus scanning...how about spyware?

One thing you might try is OPENING Task Manager (right-click the task bar and choose Task Manager & open the Processes tab), open your browser, go to a page, then check what's happening in TM.

Alan <>< I've done spyware scanning as well.

The scanners I've used include:

Norton Internet Security 2006 (Found 0 results)
SpyBot: Search & Destroy (Found some tracking cookies which I DELETED)
Swat It! Professional v2.1 (Found 0 results)
Spy Sweeper (Found 0 results)
Spyware Doctor (Found 0 results)
And a few online scanners, one of which I'm using right now, called Kaspersky.

I also used HijackThis! and got a log which I am waiting for it to be analyzed.

I have called my ISP and the place for the router, however no luck. They just told me to DISCONNECT my Internet and reassigned me a new wireless network but the problem still occurs.

And no, it's just the Internet that this happens with. I thought maybe it was my browser at first (Mozilla Firefox), however I tried using IE, and the same problem occurs. No other program (such as Microsoft Word, or even MSN Messenger) gives me this freezing problem, just when I am specifically browsing the Internet.

Oh and say I was on MSN messenger. I'll be talking to a friend, and have Firefox open in the background. Well suddenly it'll freeze on its own. I don't even need to be browsing it for it to freeze.


EDIT: Okay, my one online virus scanner just finished and apparently I got this:

The scan is complete.
Attention, your computer is infected!
The following infected files/objects were found during the scan:

Backdoor.Win32.IRCBot.dd

Total number of scanned files: 52427
Number of viruses found: 1
Number of infected objects: 1
Number of suspicious objects: 0
Duration of the scan process: 00:45:32


How do I remove this? Is Norton updated and fully operational?

You should scan in safe mode.

If I were you, I'd try AVG Free, though.

[size=12][/size]when I do a 'GOOGLE' search..there's a drop down with all the SEARCHES I have done, !.. how can I stop this.. or, how can I delete them.. ?? thanks.
[size=14]Tally.[/size]

[emailprotected]This is the AutoComplete facility in Internet Explorer, presumably. Are some of your searches rather - er - incriminating?

You can switch it off. Tools-->Internet Options-->Advanced.ccleaner should delete them for you http://www.ccleaner.com
What are the addresses? Both those things dont work...
I love google!

http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=465You will need to restart IE after running ccleaner.Nope. Ive done it a million times. Never worked for me and still refuses too. If you go to that site THOUGH, it will tell you how to completly remove the auto forms. Its sweet.

Though I could have some option that is supposed to be unselected that is causing it to not work. Ive ALWAYS had EVERYTHING selected on it though.That's strange, where are you searching from, the google page, the IE address bar or a google toolbar?The google page. Even if you have the toolbar, it doesnt matter. You CANT do any searches from the address bar. *searches* meaning searching for something that is unkown. When you type something into the address search, its going directly to the address. I dont know if you can really consider that a search.I MUST have something set in my browser to 'not remember' google searches, I never see a dropdown.
You can search from the IE address bar. IE>Tools>Internet Options>Advanced
Ccleaner sure does remove searches from the google toolbar.Oh, well thats conveniant. To bad I use Opera. I cant do that with opera. Or I dont know how too. (Talking about the search feature within the address bar.I never use it to search from the IE address bar because you loose the page you were on.
I search from a google toolbar search thingie, it creates a new page for the reults.Thanks for trying to help. I have been into internet options >> advanced.. but dont know which box to uncheck or check !! by the way I am searching from the Google search,.. not the tool-bar or address bar.. I thought the address bar had to have http://www in front.. which is an adress. or am I wrong here.? fact remains I still have the problem, and have thought about the ccleaner,.. but rather have the facility stopped, so I don't have to delete again and again. There must be a check-box in advanced which I have to change.?
THANK FOR HELPING... TalismanTry IE>Tools>Internet Options>Content>Auto Complete--->My 3 boxes are unticked.thanks to you all.. PROBLEM SOLVED.. for your information.. FED'S did the trick..

thanks Talisman..

I guess it was something I set in my own IE a long time ago, I don't even remember seeing the Google page with a drop down menu.
Keep ccleaner, it is a good program, much faster than disk cleanup.

Hello
How can i force ie open new SITES in new window?
I cant even do CTRL+v to open another window - ie open home poge at the old page.
I keep loosing information and its realy bugs me.
Pls helpUse Firefox and experience tabbed browsing.

Get Firefox(CLICK)

CTRL + V is paste, CTRL + N is a new window. So no wonder it didn't work. To open new windows instead of reusing the open window,

At the top of your screen, click on Tools/Internet Options/Advanced tab.

Scroll down a ¼ of the way and UN-Check the line that says - -

[] Reuse windows for launching shortcuts

Click on [OK] at the bottom.


My 2½¢elana...... You might try this .......... You have a IE window open to whatever ....and you wish to keep it open and open up a new IE window ..... So SIMPLY minimize the page you were looking at and click on the the IE shortcut on your desktop and a new IE window will open ....then you will still have your first page available . You can do this as often as you wish and have numberous differant pages open ...... If you use the back button , the page you had open will close .

dl65 You can also right click on a link and select Open in New Window.

And, regarding dl65's suggestion about just clicking on the IE desktop icon to open a new window, you can do that without having to minimize your open windows by adding a Quick Launch toolbar and then putting an IE icon on the toolbar.OR Hold "Shift and Click"

Shift Click = open in new window

So, you see no benefit to avoiding clutter on your taskbar and having to go the taskbar to go through a stack of IE windows when you get enough windows open that they start stacking on your taskbar?

Kudos to the CH fella's for keeping it safe. ok i tried that and i still cant get myspace.comDidn't your mom restrict you from there?know since i moved out she doesnt care,,,

its werid


i asked her and she said she didnt care any more


so i was like what ever

know every other site works but myspace.com


it goes to the cant display page"ERROR: The page you are about to VIEW might be a piece of crap."

Did she put any locks on your ability to brows the wrb to your knowledge? Or were you being sarcastic about the mom thing?no there are no other blocks cuz im in control of the installing of program

and at one time she hated myspace but now she doesnt carePerhaps she put the adress in your host file.

i already CHECKED... and my mom doesnt know what the host files are. ive tried to teach her stuff about the computer.Quote

hi! i can pull up the ebay homepage but cant search once iam there, the PROGRESS bar just flashes and the computer ICONS on the task bar turn black. Please help me, cause iam out of ideas Im RUNNING windows 2000 pro,p3 1ghz,256mem,15gig harddrive with avg anti-virus/firewall and adaware spyware program.Details are needed to help. What malware protection, OS, SP, UPDATES, etc. See below.

Okay, so I have volunteered to help my friend with her computer issues and I'm stumped. She just got the internet at her house... her LAPTOP had never been on the internet before. The FIRST time she TRIED to connect after getting DSL, the page couldn't be displayed. The only way they can connect is in safe mode. It can't be a virus b/c it had never been on the internet before. It can't be the router b/c they had it replaced. Thoughts?Quote

It can't be a virus b/c it had never been on the internet before.

Does she have a 3rd party firewall installed...like Zonealarm or Sygate? If so, turn it off to see if that's the problem.

sorry im not good with register stuff"Value Data: [Enter The Text Desired In Title Bar](do i put the title right here? "

Do you see IE5 there now?
huh?? i havent put it in yet


do i just COPY paste it straight into the registerMy POINT is there must be an entry in your registry that's CAUSING your title bar to show IE5. I presume that entry is the same one you would be changing per the instructions in the link. That's why I asked if you see IE5 SOMEWHERE in that registry entry. That would just confirm that you're looking at the right thing.oh i dont know i'll check in a bit and post back

This thing is such a nice addition that having to go BACK to IE at work is just painful!

Hi guys,

Recently, my internet has been going 10 times slower (literally) than normal. This has happened pretty much immediately after downloading a rather large computer game demo. I've now deleted that demo but the net, if anything, has not improved, indeed, it's probably even slower!

Do you have any suggestions for improving this situation?

Cheers,
Tommy.Probably picked up some viruses and spyware. What protection are you using?

See below.Thanks for the reply GX1,

Right now I'm protected by Symantec Antivirus Client and also perform occasional scans with Adaware SE and SPYBOT search+destroy. I've got Zone Alarm Pro as well, but usually shut that down immediately after startup. yeah, that's it... the comp itself apparently has 1 GB ram and the net speed is 100mbpersecond (???so it claims).

tom100Mbps is your LAN speed, not WAN (Internet).

How do you 'define' slow?

What OS are you using?Raptor, I REALLY like that "Run The Kill" signature line. Quote

We have Comcast and we use to be able to get online easily. Then something happened where we had to restart the computer to how it was when we bought it. Now i cant get on the internet.
I have an older computer. I think it has window 98. I dont think it RECOGNISES any internet that isnt dial up. Can anyone help me get it to work again.You NEED to configure the TCP/IP settings but we need to know more about your previous settings/ISP.how do i figure that outThey should be in a letter of some SORT that you received..

A letter from who?Your Internet Service Provider.

They should have given you all the documentation and manuals that you need to set up your connection.

Have you gone over these papers YET? And if so, where are you STUCK?I think it must be something wrong in the TCP/IP or the mordem.You can check it then.And you also can set up your system again.I suggest you should change your system into Windows Me.That ought to be more fit for you.Quote

Don't worry, the containment team is on it's way. Everyone, put on your gas masks!

Hmm yes formating solves many problems , but its so much more FUN if whilest trying to FIX the computer you REALY screw it up.

Is it any site that has a password , or any site that's on a HTTPS://Quote

I think that may be something wrong with your Windows system.Perhaps that is because of some DLL files was gone.You should set up your Windows system again. And once you have finished setting up,[highlight]you must run the kill[/highlight] to scan for Viruses and Spyware. I CONSIDER the problem was caused by the Viruses and Spyware possibly.

ok, i'll try to explain this problem the best i can despite my lack of computer knowledge. basically, i can hear audio fine on all PROGRAMS except for certain websites, like youtube and ebaumsworld. the other programs work ok: itunes, media player, movie maker, ect. i'm thinking mabye this has SOMETHING to do with the microsoft update i did about a week ago when i downloaded something related to CREATIVE SB live. oh, and whenever i try to use the creative recorder, and error message comes us saying a device ID is out of range for your system. i know that these problems are related to corrupt files on my soundcard or something like that. could someone please help?

oh and i've also had quicktime problems lately. it says quicktime is installed but then error messages pop up when i install software saying that it's not WORKING. don't know if this is relevant to the audio stuff... just thought i'd mention it.Quote

How about a "moustache of the week" for Julius CEASAR? Change STYLES, COLORS, etc.

Does anybody know how to KEEP websites from controlling your CURSOR? For EXAMPLE, you go to yahoo, start quickly typing a new address while yahoo loads, then yahoo fully loads and forces your cursor to their search box. Another example, you go to a website, while you wait for it to load, then the last thing it does it place the cursor in the websites searchbox (after all the advertisements and such have loaded). It's nothing major, just an annoyance.Use Firefox(CLICK). A more secure browser that is just as functional but not as willing as Internet Explorer when it comes to websites being nasty.Quote

You may well find you will have the same problem in Fire fox, its the way those pages are writen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi all,

my internet connection IS active (when i use firefox i am fully able to access all websites). however, it is ONLY firefox. if i use Internet Explorer, i get an error:

" The page cannot be DISPLAYED
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. "

...that old faithful. also progs that are tied into IE or the net are not active, such as: outlook express downloads MAIL but does not show graphics in e-mails, weatherbug does not recognize the net connection, bit torrent doesn't work, itunes does not access the music store, music match jukebox does not access the CDDB, and on and on and on. i have seen this happen in the past but only for a day or maybe 2, so i assumed the net was maybe spotty, but this has been a week or more now. any idea how i can re-do it so i go back to being able to access thru IE and related progs?

i recently switched ISPs, now am with Time Warner Cable, but it is a cable connection and there was no user name/pw needed to log on (and firefox connection continues to be fine). so please help me fix IE, or is there a way to have all those programs use the firefox browser in their workings instead?

i am running with windows xp, on a HP pc.

thanks in advance,

bob

Kudos to the CH fella's for keeping it safe.

You may have to remove any Dial-up connections in the 'Connection' tab and tag the option "Never choose a connection"

Your LAN-settings might need to be cleared as well, untag and empty everything unless your new ISP has specifically told you to keep certain settings.
thanks, i will try that when i get home!

i was never told anything at all by my new ISP, that may be part of the problem; the guy came and installed the cable and plugged the modem in, and told me it was ok. i plugged the pc in and the net worked at that point, IE and firefox and everything else. but a couple days later this happened.

anyway, thanks, and i'll check back if i can't fix it with your directions!It used to work?

Do you have the latest Windows updates?

Have you got Anti-virus and anti-spyware software?well i had all that stuff. the LATEST microsoft updates i couldnt get because since the IE was screwy it wouldnt let me download. so now (your stuff worked by the way, thanks) i got a couple new updates and a security fix that i think was new. the problem was with smit-related malware...i had virus-burst and a bunch of those things get in and really screw me up. when i finally got it removed, things were screwy as i described in the first message (everything got set to default in order to run the fixvb program).

i dunno about that stuff, virusburst and all, but the malware was sure tricky. it disguises itself REALLY well, it even showed up in the corner bar when i started in safe mode! but it's finally gone; the only remnant i see is something listed when i go into "Add/Remove Programs" called 'advertisemen' (missing the t as typed here). when i click to remove it now it tells me:

"Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\pushow93.dll

The specified module could not be found."

so i assume that nodule was removed when the virus removal prog was run, but i can't figure out how to get that taken off the "Add/Remove" list. either way it is not tied to anything that is running so i am not slowed by it anymore.

i did all the re-setting you suggested and the thing that finally worked was the LAN-reset you MENTIONED at the end. it seems to be that alone, as everything worked as soon as i clicked that off.

thank you again! so why does firefox work when the LAN was on when nothing else did? just curious...Quote

Hi everyone,
Whenever I am using IE, I cannot click on any LINK that will redirect me to another page because it will freeze up and I have to do ctrl-alt-del to end program which is "not responding". It doesnt MATTER what webpage I am on, this happens every time. Also, when IE is open, I am unable to open any other program, not even "my documents", "my pictures"...etc.
I have a very new Dell Dimension 1100, and I dont know what version of IE because it was already installed when I bought the computer.
I dont know much about computers just basic stuff so please forgive me if I have not given enough info.

Thanks for your help in advance.

CindyI would highly recommend you switch web browsers from IE to Firefox. Firefox is a much better, more secure browser. Give it a try a see what you think. Update windows including IE.
