My ISP is Orange and I use their 8mb Broadband package. It has worked okay recently until yesterday afternoon. Now Firefox brings up "Server not found". If I try IE it comes up "The page is unable to be displayed". I tried using "Restore" same result. I then 'phoned Orange and their helpline took me through checking the conections. The computer is conecting to the Livebox. They gave me the numbers 209.85.135.147 to type in the IE address BAR which brings up Google. But if I use Google to search the links have the same result as above. I tried the computer on dial up and it goes on line and works okay. I conected a spare computer which has WIN98 installed and that went on line with Broadband okay. I have run CCleaner in both cleaning and Registry checking modes. Also run the security below in Safe Mode. Nothing found. I tried going on line closing one security program at a time. Still same result. Tried briefly turning off all the security (including Firewall) and TRYING Broadband, still no use.'Phone calls to Orange have just put up the 'phone bill and resulted in going through the same actions four times, including rebooting the Livebox. They say they are checking the line and I will hear from them within 5 working days. Meanwhile I have noticed that at the bottom of IE it says "DNSERROR". I went into Control panel, ADMIN, Tools, Service Shortcuts, DNS Client. It was turned off so I tried turning it on. But this has made no difference.
Should I leave the DNS ON or OFF? AUTO or MANUAL?
Any suggestions what to try please?
Reinstall Windows?

I check for updates on the above daily.
PS Just using the WIN 98 computer is not an option. It is not mine and just on loan.Can you connect in Safe Mode?No, can't connect in Safe Mode either. But after making my 'phone bill much larger, Orange have said the fault is on the 'phoneline and I have to wait for BT to fix it. AAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhh hhh!!!!! So for now it is pay as you go, dead slow dial up. Still not sure what I should do about the DNS though?DNS should be ON, and set to AUTOThanks Broni.
Orange at last have broadband working again. Now all my Bookmarks have disappeared and I am trying to follow the Firefox instructions to recover them. WITHOUT success so far!Documents and Settings/user name/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/Default User/Bookmarks......or search your computer for bookmarks.html, or bookmarks.*

Whenever I open Internet Explorer 7, Windows MEDIA Player 11 OPENS instead. I have tried uninstalling and REINSTALLING both products, but to no avail. Any advice?Are you running Windows XP?

Hi

I recently reinstalled IE7 because of a problem, now I'm having problems viewing VIDEO online.

SOMETIMES I get nothing, sometimes I get a 'sorry not available in your area' pop up message.

I don't remember ever GETTING such a message before I reinstalled IE.

Some sites are ok, like YouTube, but I'd like to be able to VIEW everything... as god intended.

Is there some kind of online test I can do or something to see if it's my browser settings or the websites?

thanks...Will Firefox work? Sample web site will be helpful.Good point Bron.

When I come accross a video I can't watch I'll post back...

I'm having problems downloading with uTorrent.

Seems like whatever torrent i try to download, it always comes up with an error "No connection could be MADE because the TARGET machine actively refused it" for the tracker.

but before, i don't have any problems with utorrent.This just started happening a few days ago after i try to changed my setting to speedup downloads.

any help appreciated....thanks a lot...Quote from: jhay_e03 on January 19, 2008, 02:20:50 AM

I'm having a lot of trouble ever since I upgraded from my old reliable but slow dialup to my new, fast, but troublesome high-speed Comcast internet. Let me try and describe these problems for you. First of all, I can't update my programs. I first noticed there was a problem when the popup error box for Avast appeared at the bottom of my screen. When I clicked on it, it said that the autoupdate couldn't COMPLETE. So I tried manually and that failed as well. I also have Comodo Firewall and that won't update either. I just tried to update Ad-aware and no, that won't either. I thought I could download Avast and begin again with an entire new program, but once downloaded, I get an error message and setup won't start. I have a button bar with my favorite websites up at the top of my screen. I have to click on some of these five or six times now to get them to open. This usually happens right after I start the computer or after I close Firefox and once they've been opened, they will open with one click, until I turn the computer off and then the whole thing happens all over again. Sometimes Firefox won't open and I get the cannot find server message. This is usually when first starting the computer as well. I've tried disabling the Comodo thinking that it might be conflicting with the firewall in the router, and I've tried using Windows firewall instead, but that did nothing to solve the problem. I've tried flushing the dns, but that seemed to make things worse. I'm at a loss as to what to do now to solve this problem and it's driving me nuts. I'm about ready to go back to my old dialup--at least when I clicked on something I only had to do it once. Please help!!

I thought I had posted this specs stuff somewhere, like my profile, but here goes:

Windows XP
Asus A7V8X-X Mb
512 mb ram
Comcast Internet Connection
Newgear RouterWhen you say, you tried to download updates manually, and it failed, what exactly happened?With Avast I get the "Error: cannot connect to server" message. With Comodo I get "Error 106: Cannot complete the download process". Ad-Aware just gives me an "Error" message with a big red X. And then also, when I reopen Firefox, or any of my favorite links after they've been closed I get the "Cannot connect to server" message--but with these if I click on them again and again they will eventually open. Not so with the Avast, and Comodo etc. I'm going to try and see if I can download an MP3 from Amazon right now.

Okay, I just did that and I was able to download an MP3 so apparently it's not all downloads. However, as I was using Itunes to hear the song, a message came up that there was a new VERSION of Itunes available and did I want to download it? I clicked on "yes" or "okay" or whatever it said, and the message came back that it was unable to complete the download for the upgrade to Itunes.Try to bypass router, and see, if same thing will happen. At the same time, you may reset your modem (disconnect it from power source for 1 minute).Quote from: Broni on January 16, 2008, 02:05:16 PM

I click on a link in GOOGLE and it ain't showing up right. But when I use IE tab or Internet explorer normally, it WORKS ok. What's wrong?

http://www.gearfire.net/u3-versus-portable-apps/ is the link I went to through google search. I simply typed in U3 VS portable app in goolge's search box and clicked on the first link that APPEARED in the list of searches found.

Here's what I'm seeing in firefox:


And here's what I'm seeing in IE Tab (which should be same as using regular IE):


Maybe it's a firefox bug? I did the search the same way in both cases yet firefox hates the site but IE LIKES it?!!!
Clicking on your link, brings up right page here.I was wondering if it was something to do with my own computer and NOT firefox itself. It's weird. Hopefully no bug for me in FF3. That's why I am consindering reverting back to IE7 until FF3 goes gold.Try to set up new Firefox profile, and see, if same thing will happen: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profileOk, I'll try resetting firefox with a new profile and see how it goes.

Hi, I'm with a small internet provider. Out emails seem not to be getting through to any GOVERNMENT clients. I have 3 customers with this issue so far. An error message is below:

----- Transcript of session follows -----
<[emailprotected]>... Deferred: Invalid argument
Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours
Will keep trying until message is 5 days old

Any thoughts on what this could be? I think the first step is to FIGURE out who's side the problem is on. I have a hunch it is us. We're reknown for our spam. Also, seems most of the time, customers can send emails to other addresses no problem. The main problem is with government emails.

Any clues?? Need any more info, let me know!The government has strict security. Especially after the past few years of hacks and leaks. My suggestion is to contact an Government Official who run their IT Dept and see if its is a mail filter issue. MAYBE your e-mail is being BLACK listed or tagged as spam.

DaveCool thanks. After spending the DAY on this, it seems like that is true and they've been notified.

Thanks!

Glad to HEAR your problem was fixed.
Could you tell us what you did to fix it? It's always good to know in case SOMEONE with a SIMILAR problem comes along.

I have been using ie7 for a long time. All of a sudden ie7 could not display the website "the nest". After a lot of frustration I found out how to reset ie7. I have done this and now the nest works, but now I can not get the google toodbar to WORK. When I CHECK in my add/remove programs file it is there, but it is not up top with my address bar. Can someone tell me how to FIX this. ThanksPress the Alt key to get the Menu bar (if it isn't already visible).
Select Tools --> Manage Add-ons --> Enable or Disable Add-ons.
The Google Toolbar should be listed there. Enable it if its currently disabled.
If the toolbar isn't listed then press the drop down menu at the top of the window and select "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer".It worked. Thanks for all your help.Now when I am on a website and I hit the back button it starts to load and then tells me cannot find web PAGE. But if I hit refresh it comes up. What GIVES?Did this behavior start after you re-enabled the Google toolbar?
What happens if you disable the toolbar again?I doesn't seem to be doing it now. But I would really like to have my google back. I also have another question. Before when I would start typing something like a e-mail address or something, it would show up before I finished. Now it doesn't do it. How do I fix this? ThanksI suggest you uninstall the toolbar and reinstall it. Be sure to download the newest version instead of installing any old version you have lying around.

I recently dowlaoded Mozilla TB...& like it so far. The only problem i see is the amount of memory it uses when up & running. I READ on here somewhere awhile BACK about a "fix" you can do for firefox so when it's minimized to the taskbar it only uses about 4mb compared to the 30 or so when in the window. Does anyone know a similiar fix for thunderbird..it uses roughly 24mb rite now even in the taskbar. I use it STRICTLY for my business would like to leave it running at all times I'm online.
Thanks!The tweak you can use for Firefox also works for TB.
Here is how to apply it.
(I assume you're using TB 2. I do not know if this works in TB 1.5.)
In TB select Tools --> options...
Select Advanced --> General --> Config Editor...
You now got a new window called about:config with a huge SCROLLABLE list of preferences.
Right click anywhere in the list and select New --> Boolean
Enter "config.trim_on_minimize" as the name for the PREFERENCE (Without the quotation marks).
Select true in the next window and ok.

That's it. Restart TB and the tweak should take effect. When you minimize TB the memory consumption should drop to around 4 mb. Note that over time the memory consumption will still climb even with this tweak. But it should still use less memory than before. And you can always reset it back to 4 mb by maximizing and minimizing it again.
Thanks...I have the newest version so it should work!!Yes it should work fine then, it did for me.

I use a Dell PC running windows XP PROFESSIONAL, and internet explorer. I turn on my computer, and it automatically connects to my wireless NETWORK. It says it's connected and that the connection is "excellent" but I can't actually work online. I've tried plugging directly into the wireless router, directly into the modem, and connecting to different AVAILABLE networks. EVEN though it says I'm connected, I get "The page cannot be displayed" message! Neither of my roommates have a problem connecting to our netowrk. . .I called and had the network reset, and that didn't help EITHER!What Router are you using?

I just installed IE7 and it runs very slow like it is lagged.

Example if I scroll down using the scroll on the mouse the page will scroll down, stop, scroll down stop, etc...

Any suggestions?

Microsoft XP Home
DSL

P.S. I already tried redownloading.

Thanks!Anyone?Its only been 30 minutes since your first post, you'll need to have a little patience and SOMEONE will come along.
In the mean time you can post full system specifications for your COMPUTER or provide us with the brand name and model number.
Furthermore, is your windows fully updated?
And do you have up to date graphics card drivers installed?

Besides the fact that IE SUCKS royally, you should take a look in the task manager and SEE what is causing the PROBLEM. Hold down CTRL + ALT + DEL to access the task manager. What is using the most memory and CPU? If System Idle Process is using the most CPU, DO NOT TERMINATE IT.

After a hour of surfing the internet by browser shutsdown and I have to reboot. Running window XP. I have run VIRUS and adware scansIs this just a problem with the internet browser, or will doing other THINGS with your computer result in the same thing happening?

What exactly happens? Does your computer say you must restart, or does it just stop?

Are you using a highspeed internet connection? If so, are you using it via Ethernet, USB, or WiFi? (And is this built in or external?)
I am use high speed and there is no error massage. The browser ( only) STOPS WORKING. When I reboot It will work fine for a hour or so then stop again. Why don't you upgrade to ie7 or SWITCH to mozilla?Quote

will doing other things with your computer result in the same thing happening?

A few weeks ago I got a Cowon iAudio mp3 device and have been TRYING to get registered with their support department (I have been having trouble with the verification as my usual email service is AOL, and they are one of the services being blocked by Cowons email server). Anyway, Hotmail is apparently ok and I used my Hotmail account to get fixed up.

What has surprised, and slightly shocked, me was that the verifying email quoted my name, Hotmail email address, and my password in full. I have never come across this before and it has made me rather uneasy.

Am I RIGHT to be wary of this??

Any advice appreciated.Quote

ps: What is the best browser in your opinions.I haven't touched IE (except for some cross reference) for years. Using FIREFOX.Have never had a problem with IE explorer...been over 3 years. I don't really understand all the IE bashing I keep reading about.Quote

Hi,

Even I am also facing the same problem.
I used to get connection earlier.. but suddenly it started showing problem..
I use a portable USB modem to connect through dial-up.
But now I am able to get connected.. which is through another PC.

My first PC was not able to connect still. I had re-installed XP on that system.. but not successful.
The problem machine is installed with IE6, but I have installed firefox also with no success.

I wonder what could be the issue? Do I have to install XP after formatting the harddisk ?!!!!

Awaiting valuable advises.


No The computer is not connected throught a router it is connected through a comcast modem.

Hello,

IE 7 will not allow me to do anything that requires a password. I can't use hotmail, NETFLIX, ebay, amazon, etc. I can get on the page and navigate around, but after I enter my user name and password and click enter, I get a page that says "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page."
Interestingly, I can access my work e-mail, so entering information into dialog boxes doesn't seem to be a problem. I ran a diagnostic and it said for me to check several ports - FTP, HTTPS, and HTTP (I think). I thought I MADE them exceptions to the blocking. I don't know if this is a firewall problem or what. It's really bizarre, and I don't know a thing about computers. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

THANK you!
MeganWill Firefox work with password boxes?Okay, I DOWNLOADED firefox, but I can't get it to connect to the server. The message says if your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure firefox is permitted to to access the web. So, I went to the Windows Firewall and added it as an exception, but still nothing. So, I have no idea if firefox will work with password boxes.What type of internet connection do you have?
What is your firewall?
Are you connected through a router? HARD-wired, or wireless?I have cable internet, windows firewall. I'm not connected through a router that I know of. There's only one computer in the house, so I'm guessing I'm hard wired without a router. I know it's not wireless.Turn off your computer.
Disconnect your modem from power source.
Wait 1 minute.
Reconnect power to the modem.
Start computer.
See, if Firefox will connect.

Please help anyone?!? So for the last few days I've been having problems when trying to load certain web pages. For instance:

I can type in www.msn.com in the URL bar (using either Mozilla or IE7) and as I watch the page supposedly load down in the status bar (lower left) it says "Connecting http://www.sedoparking.com/msn.com then some other stuff. When the page loads it shows a white screen with a few links to sponsored links and and says www.live.com on the top of the page. The URL box still shows www.msn.com.

I have tried many other SITES such as google.com, yahoo.com, my bank's website..all do the same thing.

I have tried a few things..renewing IP, unconnecting everything and reseting my router, deleting all the history and rebooting..nothing works.

The thing I did realize is it seems to pick up what sites I've visited...as my bank's website worked fine while all this begun..but now doesn't work either. Very frustrating!

So here's the kicker...I ran 3 anti-virus programs and 3 malware/spyware deals both in safe mode and regular XP with nothing found. The thing is this is a work computer...and the 2 right next to me are having the same problem! Not all sites do it consistantly on each computer but it's definately there on those also. We hae someone coming to look at it next week and really my work isn't based off the internet (well not google/msn/yahoo anyway...haha). I'd just LIKE to get this fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much.

[file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Also...I have tried a system restore to a few weeks back..(when this problem wasn't happening..) no luck.

I'm usually very good with this stuff...why can't I figure this one out? Have a Read Here follow the instructions and post the info...one of Our Resident Experts will be along to assist...

Good morning All,

I am looking for some assistance with my home computer. Evertime I open an IE browser, it loads my home page fine, although anytime I direct it to another site using either the address bar, or the Google search bar, the browser window closes. I do not click on anything or really EVEN move the mouse, but it just shuts the window on it's own. Occasionally I will get an error message saying "The application failed to initialize properly. Press OK to continue" but that only happens once every dozen times or so. I have run a virus scan using Norton Corporate version, and also a spyware check using AdAware.

I am running XP (not an original copy) and IE6 I believe.

This same thing has occured in the past, although not nearly as FREQUENTLY as this (maybe once a month or longer) and never after opening ONE page and not clicking on anything.

It is getting frustrating not being able to have the internet at home... If anyone can help me understand what the problem is, or what I can do to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you very much!!

Windows virus protection), and get MS updates automatically. I am using Outlook Express, have only used this email program, no problems. Now when I try to use a link to send an email I get the error message "default mail client not properly installed".

I have TRIED to download OE from the net to do a new install. The most recent I can find is OE6. I downloaded it, and tried to install it, but it says I have a newer version installed, current installation will not proceed. I guess that means I have OE7. I have checked under tools, internet options, programs, and OE is shown as the default.

I tried registry repair, and all it did was get rid of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flashplayer, which I needed, so I had to find and reinstall both of them, another can of worms opened. I finally got them working again, but now I'm still getting the error message that the default mail client is not properly installed. I can't email business or companies I purchase from. This is a problem that only started about a week or so ago. Any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

dustman

I suspect some of ZA updates....
OE is a part of Internet Explorer, so, if you have Internet Explorer 7, that means, you have Outlook Express 7.
Open IE, go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, click Reset button.
Restart computer.Mea culpa, and I apologize, I didn't warn you, that IE will go to square one.
I'm happy though, your problem got fixed.

So we went a round-about way

OE is a part of Internet Explorer, so, if you have Internet Explorer 7, that means, you have Outlook Express 7.

MS stopped Outlook Express at version 6; it was not included with IE 7, so there is no version 7 of Outlook Express. IE users who updated IE from 6 to 7 still have Outlook Express 6

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a plugin for IE7 whereby I can ENTER a few words &AMP; they will be highlighted on the web page I am looking at?

It would save me so much time searching forums for specific content etc.

ThanksI don't think you NEED a plugin for that. Just PRESS CTRL + F and type the word you're looking for.Ooooooooooooo.... nice! thanks DUDE! You're welcome.

I did over and over all of the above but nothing helped.

Any further advises?



Go Tools>Internet Options>ADVANCED tab, click on Reset button.
Be aware, it'll go back to day one (all settings gone).Also before you reset everything POST a link to the page that is issuing this message so we can test it on our end...
It may be that they just have a lazy web designer.

My NEW computer is working GREAT, except for this missing background MYSTERY. I am using "Internet Explorer" and all the web site data shows up, but the background is always white. All colors, art-work, textures, etc. are missing. I just re-downloaded Internet Explorer 7 and that did not help. I probably messed up a setting somewhere, but I sure can't find anything that corrects the problem. I sure would welcome a SUGGESTION at this point.

Thanks in advance!
Don OwensDoes it happen in IE only, or in Windows, too? Did you try Firefox?

i keep on getting a problem whenever i try to view a windows media player stream in internet explorer or FIREFOX. the windoes media player is not showign up properly. the image of how it looks when i try to view a stream is attached. only the section where the PLAY button and volume control is visible everything ELSE is just blank SPACE.

[file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]

When i go to pull up the internet explorer the page will come up. but it takes up to a minute before it either connects to yahoo or it starts reciveing from yahoo. and during that time i cant minimize the window or anything. If i do try to i get the explorer is not responding. But once it does come up its still slow some times. What do i need to do at this point to fix the problem

AMD 64 3000+

NVIDIA 6600

1 gig of RAM

XP w/sp2

AVG free edition

SUPERanti-spyware

COMANDO fire wall w/windows fire wall

StopzillaTry Firefox, and see if same thing happens.SOUNDS LIKE IE IS NOT UPDATED NOR YOUR WINDOWS PROGRAM / ANOTHER THING, INSTALL CCLEANER; AND A REAL GOOD DEFRAG PROGRAM IS AUSLOGICS.COM......IT IS WAY FASTER THAN WINDOWS. I see you haven't gotten that new keyboard yet...hey genius, why the sarcasm over the caps lock? If there is a "computer reason" for keeping the caps off, then say so. I am a diabetic, and MAYBE ONE day, you too will get enjoy the benefits of slowly going blind. Let it rest, please.I apologise for your Medical condition.
There was no mention of this prior in any of your previous posts.
I too am suffering from bad eyes but i've made adjustments.

Any browser including Firefox has this built in.

But again if you are taking it personally all i can say is i'm sorry.You asked for a reason not to post in all capital letters. People who deal with typography will tell you that text in all capital letters are harder for humans to READ (and I personally agree). It is something about the shapes the words form in our brains. EVER wondered why legal texts and disclaimers are often written in all caps? Thanks for the enlightenment; it is not really personal issue, even though it might appear. My primace is that the comments made an immediate turn away from the issue at hand; and that was assisting someone with a computer issue. We must keep the main thing the main thing.

Comments like the previous do nothing to enhance the quality of this forum, they only detract from it. Far too many forums are ruined by people who become cynical and SARCASTIC; not to say that a little humor, doesn't have a place. Please remember, I am not offended, just perplexed at some of the comments I see. I never mentioned any medical issue, because it is not relevant to asking and answering questions. Anyway, this is a great forum and has some very knowledgable posters, so keep up the good posting.

Dear Users
When I TRY to Download any thing it says the your adminsitrator cache the download is off from 6:00PM to 1:00PM can i download in this TIME any suggestions any software any internet explorer settings
ThanksWho is the administrator and why is the computer CONFIGURED to not let you download in that time period?

Hi

On my laptop I use internet explorer.

Every PAGE under the sun used to open with ease. 8 MONTHS on only certain PAGES open.

For example, I go to my yahoomail account, I ACCESS the account,i SEE the list of emails, but when i click to read an email then tool bar shows it loading very slowly, then it doesnt load and the internet explorer says it cannot connect to page.

Also with sites like myspace, it does the same but this time when i try to log in it wont.
I can view pages on myspace, but as soon as i click on a thing that opens up a new page, such as photos etc, the tool bar shows loading slowly, then it wont connect through.

My internet connection in my house is fine.

Please please help, its beginning to really peav me off.

ThanksSame problem with Firefox? What Windows version?

For over a year now I have had Firefox's excellent StumbleUpon add-on (is that the right term?) with direct access via the SU toolbar (which appears with Firefox opening page) with no problem. A couple of weeks ago the toolbar options changed from it's usual collection of options to just two - "Start Stumbling... or Sign In", the first to start a new account and the second to sign in with user name and password. Things are ok once you're signed in for that session, but it's a BIT of a chore to do every TIME - there seems to be no "Save Password?" option available. I can't figure out why or how things have changed. Can I get round this somehow? I have queried Firefox, but no reply
.The team behind Firefox will you not be able to give you much support. The Stumbleupon add-on is created and maintained by Stumbleupon.
But you should be able to configure the toolbar to stay logged in.
On the toolbar click Tools and click Sign-In...
Fill in your username and password.
Make sure the box next to "Sign-out when I close the browser" is unchecked and press OK.


Then the toolbar should stay logged in.Thanks for reply Deerpark.

I have re-signed in several times over the last couple of weeks now, and have made sure that the "sign out" box is unchecked every time - it seems to be ok if I come back to Firefox/SU within a reasonably short time (a day, say), but longer than that and it reverts back to the minimal toolbar. I wonder if there is a default setting after a certain period. I also wonder why there is no remember password option for this on Firefox.As far as I know the built in remember password feature in Firefox is only for websites not for add-ons. The creator of the add-on will have to create a password remembering feature if one is required.
I've not used stumbleupon for a while and have just now reinstalled the toolbar to TEST out what you said. So I can't comment on whether you getting logged out is a bug or a feature. I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the PLUGIN and see if that helps.

I'll try and keep it running to see if I get logged out as well. Thanks again Deerpark.

I see what you mean about websites/add-ons - it's no real hardship, just slightly annoying. I'll persevere for the time being and maybe try SU forum pages.

The last couple of weeks I've been experiencing issues with my Internet Exploring needing to close. Whenever I'm online I almost always have two or more IE windows open at the same time. When I close one window a message comes up that says IE has encountered a problem and needs to close, so then every open window closes. Very FRUSTRATING when I'm in the middle of a school RESEARCH project

This is what the error signature looks like....it means nothing to me....but maybe it helps some of you to know what the problem is??...??

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 7.0.6000.16544 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 03c80f75


Not sure what to do here, I've been using FireFox in the interim, but would really like to go back to IE, there's just certain functions that I really like (or am just used to).

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I am running Windows XP. I use Yahoo for my e-mail. When I want to compose a letter and I open the address book all goes well until I close the address book by, either punching "insert checked contacts" or just closing the page, the whole browser crashes however it does not take me off-line. Is this a virus or what?? JimQuote

I HAD MACAFFE AT ONE TIME BUT MY PRESCRIPTION RAN OUT AND I DID NOT RENEW. I AM ONLY USING WINDOWS FIREWALL.

Hi, hope this is the right place for this question.

I recently switched from a DSL cable connection to a wireless network connection thru a router to share internet access w/ my house mates. I often leave my computer on overnight for various reasons.

I'm wondering if I can block off the wireless internet access somehow, by closing off ALL ports for ALL internet access easily -- messages, web, e-mail, etc.

I used to USE Norton Security &AMP; it had an option in the firewall to do just that -- block all access thru all ports temporarily, w/ the click of one button, & easily switched back on. I figure it would be useful to do this in the small chance my computer gets ID'd for phising expeditions or whatever when it's on for long periods of time.

Is there something in the Microsoft control panel that does this? I've searched around & can't find anything.

I've tried to use "search" on forums but I either don't know the right keywords to use, or this is simply not something that anyone else does or is concerned about.

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 tower, 512K RAM 2.34 Ghz; using MS XP home edition; i use IE 7 & Mozilla browsers. I don't use Outlook for mail, just the calendar. I currently use the Microsoft firewall & the free verion of AVG 7.5 virus & spyware programs for security. I use a Linksys Compact Wireless -G USB adapter to connect up to the house router. The router (also Linksys, I'm pretty sure) was set up w/ password to keep others from leaching off our internet connection.

So, is this not something to even worry about, and if so, how can I easily block & unblock all internet access from my computer, while my USB connection is LEFT on?

An additional question is, is there some other security concern I should be aware of? This is the first time I've used a wireless connection, I've always had DSL cable connections in the past.

Thanks in advanceI am not an expert by any sense of the imagination but here is what I do::
Go to START, CONNECT TO, highlite the net work that shows tha you are connected,
hit DISCONNECT.
Repeat the operation in revers order in order to re=-connect. Good luck, JIMI agree with jim.mar. The easiest would be to simply disconnect from the wireless or disable the wireless netcard when you don't wish to be connected to the network.You have to know that a wireless LAN is the LEAST secure configuration out there, but it is handy and in fact, one that I personally use. Why would you want to arbitrarily shut it down if you installed it for the express reason of sharing your connection with your roomies in the first place? As long as your personal PC is setup as the hub with password protected user and admin accounts, the average home pc user is reasonably secure and I think that you're being somewhat paranoid, IMHO. I sure wouldn't want to sign on with someone who always had his finger on the off button.If your looking to block of your mates from getting on just make a password to your computer acc, like admin and password it.

Other than that just do what Jim.mar said it works great.Quote from: jim.mar on DECEMBER 18, 2007, 02:07:15 PM

Hi all, this really wierd bug just happened and not sure what to do. My homepage is stuck at "http:///" and can't change it no matter what. The other problem is no matter what page I visit, there is no "windows INTERNET explorer" in the TITLE bar.

I'm not sure if this is a virus or just a bug. I had IE 6 with this problem then upgraded to 7 hoping for this problem to disappear with no luck.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank YOUWILL Firefox work OK?

You didn't quiet follow my instructions.
You're supposed to download everything (no install, yet). Uninstall (not disable!) NORTON. Then install all downloaded programs.
Please, re-read my previous post.Sorry that I misunderstood. The only reason I disabled the Norton firewall is so it wouldn't conflict with Comodo.

When I go back to AVG, I should choose SAVE instead of RUN then install it later? Could this be why I keep getting the corrupt files message?

I already have purchased Registry Mechanic. Will CCcleaner do a better job?Look...I listed all steps in my post #11.
UNINSTALL Norton...this is your first step.Sorry if my last post upset you. Having no formal computer training, I didn't understand the difference between DOWNLOADING and INSTALLING. I thought they were both parts of the same process.

You've made it very clear to me and I am following your steps in order. Thanks for the education.....Quote

Sorry if my last post upset you.

using WINDOWS vista.
instant messenger working fine, but can't connect EITHER firefox or internet explorer browsers. GOING through dell support center it says "you are already connected', I tag "browse the internet", it says "no internet connection detected". we are using a WIRELESS connection and other PCs are working fine along with instant messenger one the one in question. Everything was working fine a few days ago.Try to connect your computer straight to to the modem, bypassing ROUTER, and see if it works.

hello there,
i'm using windows xp.
currently have IE only.
the problem is i cannot surf international website even yahoo, google etc
i'm only able to surf local website only...
it's look like i've been blocked to surf internet..
how can this happen?i'm just want to download firefox browser only...
please anyone don't hesitate to help me....Are you trying to access these sites at SCHOOL or work? If you are it could be that your ADMINISTRATOR is limiting you to your local network. If this is not the case, it MAY be your ISP is blocking you from getting to other sites.Where do you live?
What ISP do you have?
And like the above question asks, how are you trying to access these sites? At HOME, school, or work?at work, to be honest i like using firefox browser...
how can i bypass administrator control on my workstation?Quote

Alright, so when I open FIREFOX, usually when I type a word into the ADDRESS bar, it will search google.com for me, however now I get a "This page cannot be DISPLAYED error". However, that's just the beginning of my fiasco. Internet EXPLORER seems to work for most sites, but, on BOTH browsers, when I try to go to google.com or like... altavista.com, it takes me to this page:



Any help with what this cPanel crap is and how I can fix my Firefox? Also, I'm using a MODEM, not a router if that is any better information. ;pYour browser is getting re-directed...

Hi

Wondering if there's anyone who can help.

Have today installed IE7 on my computer (Windows XP) and unfortunately I have lost my normal home page.

Every time I log on to internet I get the 'customise your settings' page, with the MESSAGE 'Thanks for Choosing IE7'. Even though I've gone into internet options and made sure my home page is set as I want it I still get this annoying page up. I have even had a go at customising my settings and saving them but this BLOODY page still keeps coming up. Does anyone know how to fix this please

debsIs this the page:



If so, there is the solution:
http://www.pcdoctor-guide.com/wordpress/?p=3691
You can use any of three options.Have clicked on the button at bottom titled "Choose your settings"? My hunch is this, if you do that once and follow through with it, you may then be able to change your home page. Hi Everyone

It won't let me post a reply as it says I have already done it!!!! I cannot do anything on a computer at the moment, hence this new post.


Re the first answer, yes this is the screen I get.

Re the second answer, yes of course I've done this, there seems to be a problem saving the settings...is this the reason it keeps taking me BACK to the page?

I've tried the solutions in the pc-doctor guide.

The first solution run 'gpedit.msc' windows cannot find so this did not work.

The second solution run 'regedit' did work to a point. However, I could not find the RunOnceHasShown' file so this did not work.

The third solution I did what it suggested, however, when I go on to the internet I get a message saying

SECURITY WARNING THE CURRENT WEBSITE PAGE IS TRYING TO OPEN SITE IN TRUSTED SITES LIST. DO YOU WANT TO OPEN:

http://go.microsoft.com
http://runonce.msn.com

When you click yes I get back to the same page that has caused a problem in the first page, when I click no I get the page MICROSOFT CANNOT DISPLAY WEB PAGE

Help!!!
the attached comes up and when I click yes it takes me back to the customise setting page so I FEEL no further forward.

Any fixes would be appreciated

Cheers x

If RunOnceHasShown key doesn't exist, you may need to create it, and assign it value 1.
