Hi, I have a problem with my other PC. It wont open webpages.

in the progress bar at the bottom left, when i try to open a page it says 'resolving host.'

then it just says...

'This web page is not available.

the web page at null might be temporarily down or it may have moved PERMANENTLY to a new web address.'


I tried running a repair on my connection and it came back with..
'Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server (85.255.112.133).'


can anyone help me?i just found an error code, i hope it helps someone help me

Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found.Is this your own computer or a work one?

Can you access the run command from your START bar by doing the commands below

start > run > then type the word "cmd" and hit enter

If the little black box comes up (the command prompt) type

"ping 85.255.112.133" if this comes back "destination host unreachable" you may have a DNS problem. If it's at your work it may just be the server is down.

If you could follow the instruction below, hopefully this will help

Only do this if you have authority to do so please

control panel > Network Connections > right click on your network connection and click properties > left click once on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" to highlight this option and click on the properties box just below and to the right.

The box that comes up will have an option down at the bottom "Use the following DNS server addresses". If you click on that option to add the little dot in the radio button it will let you put an address in the box. If you put in the "85.255.112.133" number then click okay, this will shut that box down. Click okay on the box that you’re left with on screen. Try to open your browser now and this should hopefully sort the problem.

Oh one more thing.... the 85.255.112.133 is an IP address. If you ever have a problem like this again, just say it's a DNS ISSUE and DO NOT ever give out an IP address on a public forum. This is the type of number that a hacker could use to gain access to a computer. Not trying to SCARE you off, just letting you know.

I hope this helps.... Let me know how you go

Moe moe information about DNS question, here is a good place to start:
http://www.opendns.com/

Some malware is out there messing up the Internet this week.
You may get better connections by changing to static DNS.
thanks for the replies, I will keep them in mind, however, I have just turned my computer on today, and everything SEEMS fine

I dunno why, i feel a bit foolish now

oh well, I will save this incase it happens again though

thanks again anyway

You're in DEEP deep DOO doo if this don't WORK...

Hopefully I am in the right forum. I USE yahoo mail for work as I can check it anytime, etc. For some reason when I try to attach photo or music files to send it will take about 4-5 minutes to attach. I have dsl which works pretty WELL but I can't FIGURE out why it takes so long to attach. Any SUGGESTIONS?Depends on the size of the file and how log it takes Yahoo to scan it for malware.

Hello. How can I make the GUEST account have access to internet connection (connect to the internet)?
COULD someone help?
THANK you in advance.I'm afraid we are gonna need more info here...When I try to create an internet connection as guest USER, Windows asks for permission.
and when I try to USE a connection created by administrator user ( use it as guest user ) I don't find it in network connections.
Thank you

when copy url to adress bar ,such as "******.AVI ",
i think ie will show the download window.
but ie didn't work like that.
so i install a software called free download manager.
i can't download too.
why??

and sometime right click and select "save target as ",it work
but when use free download manager ,user name an password are required
need some helpIt sounds to me like the content you are trying to download is protected! If so you will require a user name and password to download it.

To be on the safe side try using a different web browser. Firefox is my choice as i use it with Flashget Download manager, but in this case use Google Chrome as it has a better download system.are you SURE you're pasting a url on you browser? because on your SAMPLE the extension is .avi
make sure that its a correct url.You are copying an address to a SPECIFIC file...somewhere out there on the web.
If the file has been moved and or the site changed it'll never work.

Hi I was wondering if anyone on here could help me try to disable my content advisor because there are a lot of sites I connot get on. Here is my dilemma, neither me nor my husband enabled the content advisor which means we do not know the password. Does anyone know how to disable it without the password. Please get back to me soon.
Thank You!!!!!Go to control panel/Internet options. Select content tab. Disable content advisor.In 2K or XP you might have to log in with the admin account.I cannot get my content advisor to disable. Everytime I disable it I can get on line, but I have to disable it everytime in order to get on to the internet. This is driving me crazy, can anyone help?You could PERHAPS set a password and then set it to allow you to view every website no matter if it is off or on.

I have not tried this, but perhaps it is possible.I had one program called Password Recovery Kit 4.3 that I have in my CD. It has a feature to unlock IE Contect Advisor password that I have tried to unlock my IE password succesfully. But, since i got it on the CD I bought a year ago, I don't know where you could get it from the internet. My sugestion is that you try to SEARCH it in the Internet and I hope you'll find it.remove the content advisor and ratings password using regedit in the run box to do this ok.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ratings

open your registry find the key below single click on the key to HIGHLIGHT it, press the DELETE key or alternatively select delete from the edit menu close internet explorer, re-open it and the content advisor feature should be disabled has anybody found out what a load of rubbish winxp is stable system i dont think so...

We had the same problem...finally figured it out...go to internet options/ content advisor click on disable advisor our prompt came up as god after a thousand tries we tried hallealuah and it disabled then click on disable privacy filter.....good luckThe Topic is 5 YEARS old....and neither person is a Member anymore...Randomact is randomly posting.Then he has chosen his username wisely....weedhopper.

I am having TROUBLE with my daughter's computer always saying that IE has encountered a problem and MUST shut down. I have tried to install IE 8 on her computer, but I get a message saying that it can't uninstall the version currently on the computer. I have even tried to go into safe MODE and delete it from the Program Files, but it keeps TELLING me that some of the DLL files can't be deleted. You can't uninstall IE.

Hello There!

A lot of touting has been going on in the Mailbox to download & install the IE8 Optimized for MSN....is this something different from the original download?

Can I get a performance boost over the 'Normal IE8 version' if I decide to UPGRADE for the same?

No difference...
IGNORE the emails.Thanks!

I hope that finally BRINGS an end to my isolation!

Yippie...! IE8 optimized for MSN just means IE8 has been set with MSN STUFF as default. But you can always change it anyway if you don't like it.

I tried upgrading to IE8 on Thursday night and something went very wrong. Now I have no toolbar in Internet Explorer (no 'Tools' option, no 'Home' Icon, etc.), I cannot download ANYTHING (I don't EVEN get the option to run a file). Also, I cannot even open Firefox. When I click on the Firefox icon, nothing happens. I tried UNINSTALLING and can't even do that. I tried System Restore - it only lets me go back to the beginning of March, so I tried that but no luck. If you try this.

Start > run. Copy and paste the link below in to the box. This should force (I hope) the BROWSER to open the link. This is for IE7. See if it lets you download this and then run it. Hopefully it will force a rollback to IE7. If it does restart the PC, it should prompt you to do this anyway if it works.

And I hate discussing David with people who don't know the least about him.

If i read correctly the show originitaded in the UK....

if we don't know the least- who does?

You're right, you do know the least. My mistake...

American Idol... that explains everything, and IMO justifies my preemptive opinion.

David James Archuleta should never be defined by AI. Not my opinion, a fact. David has had a long musical career although it has been interupted by a horrible health issue. He fought his way back from that. David won the Jr. CHAMPIONSHIP of "Star Search", he performed for families and firefighters of the 9/11 disaster, he is a Mormon who has chosen to live a priestly life, he did two week of shows on AI with a strep infection and he performed every night of the Summer Tour even though he was sick and exhausted. he performed with one functioning vocal cord. He lost his voice again on the Solo Tour yet he performed 20 songs that first night. He has a 4.0 GPA and spent only 29 days at home last year. I could go on and on about this man but telling you anything about him still doesn't enlighten you. That's something you have to come to for yourself. But please don't dare put him down to me or any of his supporters. The level of respect between David and his fans/supporters is a cherished thing. And David deserves every bit of respect we show him. And I'm trying real hard not to put this thread in his sites and let all of those fans have their way with you.

And to think they even made a "Canadian Idol"... imagine a British Idol... lol.

This show originated in the United Kingdom just as "Big Brother" did.

Good Day people...either my eyes or you have given me a boomer of a headache. Prolly my poor vision.

Did you try going into the site? is it my browser that is keeping me out? But shouldn't my browser, no matter what is is bring the site in, even if it is problem laden?

I appreciate what you guys are doing for me, but I still haven't seen where anyone said I went into that site and yes it's your browser. Maybe the site is just having problems. I don't want to load something I don't need.

Please go through my statement and answer the questions so that I won't re-post them. I really need to know these answers.

and I'm sorry but I don't see where my question about the site was answered.

And again, I did post the LINK to the site with hopes that someone would click it and maybe be able to tell me from having been in there and maybe posting to the owners if they changed the format or hardware or something.

And again, I did post the link to the site with hopes that someone would click it

I am having a problem, my pages load ok until I go to a site where I need to log in and then it says SERVER unavailable every TIME. I don't have a clue how to remedy this.

Any help WOULD be very much appreciated.

After a few weeks of using Mozilla Firefox, I got a message that I needed to reinstall the program because setup.exe file was corrupted. When I tried to reinstall it, I kept getting the same message, not allowing me to reinstall the program.

I tried deleting Mozilla Firefox. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and clicked "remove" for Mozilla. Nothing happened. I kept clicking the button and nothing happened. I tried deleting all Firefox files, but it says I can't delete the folder because it isn't empty. But it also won't let me delete it because the file(s) in the folder are corrupted and unreadable.

This is keeping me from PROPERLY using certain programs, such as SKYPE. Please help!!Quote

Ok I DOWNLOADED a batman SKIN to show my son and I think it AFFECTED IE 7. My problem is that on occasion I get a screen that pops up full size and says something about a virus and looks alot like avg but am not sure. I close that page down and My homepage is changed to google. What have I DONE?Without a screenshot of the issue or the full error message it's hard to say.......and where the download came from...and a what is your computer specs? If you have windows xp or vista, you can try system restore back to a DATE before you installed the batman skin.

I hope some one can offer to me some further suggestions as to how to disable these annoying I.E. 7 script error messages. I am new to this site and recently posted a much shorter version of this problem. Since I have not gotten any suggestions , I thought I would post again with more info. I am getting I.E.7 script error messages, and I want to get rid of them once and for all. I have been reading about these, they seem to be pretty common, and I have followed a lot of suggestions before coming to this site. So far nothing has worked. I have found out (according to others) that I.E.7 script error messages can be disabled. That is what I want to do.

On my computer I have the following: Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, Vipre (that is the correct SPELLING) antivirus and firewall (these are excellent)Spysweeper antispyware and Max Registry Cleaner that runs a daily registry scan ( their tech support hasn't solved this problem either so I will probably get rid of their cleaner). I use the current version of Mozilla Firefox as my main browser. I know I.E.7 is imbedded in Windows and it can complicate things if it is removed. Here is what I have done so far and NONE of it has worked: These suggestions are from various WEB sources.

I opened I.E.7 and went to Start>Run and TYPED in "iexplore.exe".
*Tools Menu>Internet Options>Advanced Tab.
*Click on Advanced Tab, scroll down to "Browsing".
*Check off box next to "Disable Script Debugging(IE)".
*Check off box next to "Disable Script Debugging (Other).
*Uncheck box next to"Display a notification about every script error)".
*Click "OK".
These steps did not solve the problem. I was really surprised!

Next: I tried to disable this service. This is what I really want to do.

*Click on Start>Run> and typed in "services.msc and press "OK"
*Click on "Extended tab" at bottom of page.
*Scroll down and find the service named "Machine Debug Manager".
I got this far in these directions and discovered my list of services DOES NOT have a "Machine Debug Manager. Could it be in my list with a different name or inside another service that is listed. I have checked and rechecked and "Machine Debug Manager" is not in my list I would really like to try and complete this solution, and I have the rest of the directions to do it. Right now not being able to locate "Machine DeBug Manager" has stopped me cold with this possible solution.

Next:
I clicked Start>Run and typed in "inetcpl.cpl" and pressed enter.
* Internet Properties>Security Tab and then click on "Reset all zones to default level". This did not work either. Another Surprise!

Next:
I found a program named DIAL- A -FIX, downloaded it and ran it. This program is advertised to repair all windows and I.E.7 errors. It also did not solve the problem. Not as surprised at this point!

Next: I tried two free registry cleaners that are supposed to be very good.
* I downloaded and ran two scans each with Eusing Registry Cleaner and Easy Cleaner Registry Cleaner. Neither one of those ELIMINATED the problem, so I removed them from my computer. Accepting my fate in computer (#**#) now!!

I am hoping there are more good solutions to try besides these. I am also wondering if I downloaded I.E.8 would it download over I.E. 7 and solve the probem, or would it load along side I.E.7 and just take up more space as I use Mozilla Firefox anyway. There has to be a way to disable I.E.7 script error messages. I do not want to do a clean reinstall of everything. Hoping to get a solution that finally fixes this problem. The rest of my computer is working fine and fast. This one issue really has me puzzled. Thank you,
beachguy.



It's showing a script error, because the website you're visiting has an error in its scripts. HOWEVER, you probably already knew that. So, try this:

Windows Knowledge Base

If that doesn't work, try this:

Quote from: windowsitpro.com

1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
2. Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main registry subkey.
3. Double-click the Disable Script Debugger value.
4. Set the value data to "yes" to disable the script debugger, then click OK (setting the value to "no" enables the script debugger).
5. Restart IE for the change to take effect.

Im getting an error message while TRYING to open Internet Explorer:
Program:C:\program files\internet explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
A BUFFER overrun has been DETECTED which has corrupted the programs internal state

Any help would be much appreciated. Im a noob so please make it simple if you can. Thanks!

I think I should also add that I did a SYSTEM restore the first time and it fixed it. Now its back and system restore doesnt helpOh I fixed it! evidentally it was VIRUSES or spyware.Glad you got it sorted

Periodically, while browsing, all of a sudden I can't connect to any sites. Both IE and Firefox won't connect.
Yet, my computer says I am still connected to the internet.
I use firefox most of the time to browse. When I GET the failed to connect message. I switch to IE and I get the same failed to connect message. I close both browsers and try to reopen, still the same error. Try to disconnect my internet connection and reconnect and open browser, same error.
The only thing I can do to fix it is restart my computer which is really annoying when you are in the middle of something.
I have GOOGLE searched for answers on this and on various computer help sites/forums and can't seem to find any solutions.
Any ideas?
Unplug your Modem...wait 1 MINUTE and plug it back in...wait 2 minutes before trying.
If there is a router involved do the same as above...
Re-boot the PC....I am connecting wirelessly on my laptop. The modem is attached to my desktop computer. Still try unplugging the modem and reconnecting?Yep.
If it's wireless do the same for the router...unless it's a wireless modem/router combo.
Re-boot the MAIN PC.Just a bit of personal experience here....I had the exact same issue several months ago......While downloading the Beta version of IE8 from the MS website no less, I was attacked by a driveby browser hijacker which crippled my PC and would only allow me to stay connected to the internet for 5 minutes at a time and then I had to reboot to connect again.....It planted malicious script which fried my DNS settings....It went right through Norton........POS

My advice is to have the specialists go over your logs and focus on an infection as well as hardware issues......

I had to eventually REINSTALL XP, but I was upgrading a HD so I was prepared for it.Hello Patio:
This occurs even if I do not have my desktop turned on. Just the router/modem is on. The next time this happens on the laptop I will try your suggestion to turn the modem off and back on. Will post the results. Thanks. Hello Karnac:

I hope that it isn't as serious as this.
I do not use IE unless there is a website that will not load properly with Firefox which is very rare.
I therefore do not download updates for IE either.
I have a secure wireless network, firewalled, virus & spyware scans regularly. So I hope that I am not vulnerable to what you have experienced.
Thanks for the advice and I will keep this in mind if I continue to have problems or it escalates.

Updated AVG 8 Free on my laptop Was on the internet when Secure Veteran appeared stating that I had Spyware and needed to remove it. The computer immediately shut down Internet Explorer 7. Each time I tried to reenter or repair, Windows Internet Explorer would not response. This is a laptop on a wireless connection. I have tested my other laptop and it responds to the browser. My desktop is also on a wireless connection. All other COMPUTERS respond. Operating system XP. Help!!You're INFECTED...

Quote

SecureVeteran is classified as a misleading anti-virus application because it uses false scan results and fake security alerts to convince you that your computer is infected with malware. Please note that the only real infection is Secure Veteran itself. The rogue program is installed through the use of Trojans, fake online anti-spyware scanners and various misleading WEBSITES that SUPPOSEDLY provide free online videos
of well known TV shows. Most of the time, the user is prompted to install video codec to watch requested video. Then an executable file pop ups, for example vstream_udate.104.exe or similar. Usually such file contains a Trojan virus or it is a setup file of a certain rogue security program.

Here's a strange thing. After booting, web browsers take a very long time to launch. I usually use Firefox 3.5.3, but the same thing happens with IE.

After a while, the browser opens, and everything seems to work fine. No performance issues at all, until the next startup.

It's not the Internet connection itself, because while I wait, I can open Thunderbird and retrieve e-mails.

This is on Windows XP.

Any thoughts? Does it happen for any other applications? Have you tried scanning for viruses or malware/spyware?Anything new since the last time they opened normally (new hw, sw, virus)?It does not happen with any other applications -- only web browers.

No new programs or hardware have been added recently.

Haven't tried scanning for spyware yet. Will do that tonight, but is there anything else I should be on the lookout for? Let's start with that. Do a full system scan with your AV and then do another with MalwareyBytes and/or Super AntiSpywareClose Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?

Close IE.
Go Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools, and click on Internet Explorer (no add-ons). Same thing?To follow up: I've scanned with Norton AntiVirus and with Malware Bytes. No problems were detected.

After rebooting, I tried launching Firefox (safe mode). It took a long time to open, just as the regular Firefox did.

Again, this only happens when first booting up. Afterward, browsers work fine, and I'm not noticing any problems with speed or anything else. While waiting for the browser to launch, I checked Task Manager, but didn't see anything UNUSUAL going on. I hear the disc running, but the system RESOURCES are in the single-digits, nowhere near 100% usage.

So, I'm still puzzled. Anything else that I should check? Yeah, one other thing I'd like you to try. Please boot to safe mode (with or without networking) and open a browser. Does it still take a long time?In addition to what Allan said, try to create new profile: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_ManagerHi!
firefox is too SLOW to launch now in my desktop but in my laptop its as fast as IE. why is that so? Does my files have SOMETHING to do with this??

trampolines

I love Google Chrome, but I've had this PROBLEM off and on, sometimes Google Chrome just won't play SOUND for me. It is pretty annoying because when this happens, I have to switch to another browser to watch a video. I've seen other people online complaining about it too. I think it might be something to do with the Windows Vista VOLUME controls, which is cool because you can control the volume of everything, but lots of TIMES I never wee Chrome on that volume mixer, and so i wonder if its because sometimes I use it to turn down the volume of Chrome, but It is never on the volume mixer to turn the volume back up.Quote

Try the poll!Another one? What's that make, TEN?MADE we should make a poll on how many polls there are about web browsers.

I THINK this is a great poll! It's a heck of a lot better than other polls i've seen.You obviously didn't use the Search function.Quote from: mroilfield on MAY 07, 2009, 10:13:07 AM

I decided to install Chrome

Nicely said

patio, our join bank account is gonna grow again

Example?

I decided to install Chrome on my laptop and run some speed tests. I ran multiple tests with both browsers. Overall, test results fluctuated more than usual; I do not attribute that to my computer or the web browsers; it's due to factors external to my personal computing environment.

The variation in test scores applied to both Firefox and Chrome, with lower and higher scores obtained from both browsers. The results definitely did not show one browser or the other to consistently yeild better results than the other, just as I expected.

Again ... AGAIN ... raw speed tests for your Internet service are not determined by the general performance of your computer or the particular web browser you're using. These tests are not processor-intensive TASKS. This point was previously covered.

Up until about 5 months ago, I had an old Pentium with Win 98SE and IE 6 sitting in the same room as my main desktop computer. Using it to view web pages heavily laden with Flash, JavaScript, etc. was a test in patience; it was slow in rendering the page and once rendered, scrolled jerkily. But, I could run a speed test with it and get the same results as with my main desktop system (Win XP) or my laptop (Vista).

Examples are: In Local disk (C:)Standard floppy disk controller, and standard floppy disk controller #1, VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller, with #1, & #2, Similar things like that in the Program Files area as well.

I have no idea how they got there.

What browser is she using?She is using IE 8
I loaded Firefox on it and the same thing is happening as well.

Thanks for reply)Does this only happen with the internet or does this issue come up in other applications?Only with InternetWhat's been changed since it did work properly?She uses Myway for email and HOMEPAGE. When Myway upgraded their email is when this started.
Keep in mind, it is happening on other web sites as well. I tried different ones and while its only a few, unfortunately those are the ones she needs. Its her email, her health INSURANCE site and her school site.
Thanks)

I installed a proxy software named free gate. it CHANGED my Internet explorer.Now it's speed is too low and it doesn't close properly,only it minimizes to my TASK bar. I uninstalled Free Gate but it doesn't change situation. please help me. I use windows xp.Will that be safe? Is it alright to uninstall IE? Isn't IE involved in basic Windows functionality etc?Quote from: Ivy on August 12, 2009, 05:24:28 AM

Will that be safe? Is it alright to uninstall IE? Isn't IE involved in basic Windows functionality etc?

Yeah you may be on to something I'll delete that cheers Ivy.

I'm glad you deleted that, hopefully the person had not actually uninstalled IE by the time I replied that

The starter seems to be MIA anyway.

Hopefully that has nothing to do with ''this''.

Done some research if you uninstall IE it automatically replaces it with IE6. So there is no problem at all. Actually it may of even helped the problem.

Let's hope that it's that way.

I had a virus on my computer that I removed and I now can't get on the internet. I connect through a wireless connection and the wireless connection is fine (my laptop works perfectly). I already tried unintalling and reinstalling IE and Mozilla and still no luck. I just ran a hijack this and here is what it came up with:

Any help would be appreciated. ThanksClik Here...Thansk patio for this useful infomation about virus.. great

Hi, i sure hope someone will be able to help with my problem. well here goes.....Here at WORK there are 2 computers that are connected to INTERNET via the same dsl modem. (wired) on one comp. IE8 was mistakenly installed. the other comp has our point of sale software installed on it and through this software, we receive electronic dispatches of jobs from insurance companies via various NETWORKS. we invoice the job and transmit electronically thru the software for payment. since the install of IE8 on the other comp. we are unable to do either. also on both computers some websites are fine but others wont connect at all. for instance, if i go to comcast.net, the page is fine. if i sign in to access email, all i can do is enter name and password, but once i hit enter....nothing. eventually it will say internet explorer cannot display webpage. i uninstalled the IE8 from the computer and reinstalled IE7, but still have my problem. can anyone help? our pos tech support cannot help...not an issue with their software "connected to internet via the same dsl modem. (wired)" - how? Internet Connection Sharing? Or does the modem have a USB and ethernet connection so that two computers can connect at once? Any firewalls running? Your problems SOUND like an MTU issue at first read. Try a System Restore on the machine which had IE8 installed. I mean, to a point before IE8 was installed, and before you had the issues. Firefox.The browser itself is unlikely to be the issue if some sites can be reached and others can't. Application layer (#7) of the OSI model is working - MTU is at Datalink layer (#2), which will affect everything that uses a network connection, and MTU issues commonly result in haphazard connectivity and no access to secure sites.

I could of course be proved wrong, computers are never so straightforward, and a third-party firewall can throw all the logical troubleshooting steps out altogether.YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Uninstall IE8
TO uninstall from XP:

click START
Control Panel
Add Remove Programs
Internet Explorer 8
REMOVE

Then run windows update to hide the ie8 update, it's classified a "critical update".
click the + and check "Do not show again", this keeps it from re-installing.

At this point it you will be back to IE7.

It's classified as a "critical update" and automatically installs if AUTOMATIC update is on, WHY???
It has caused too many users a LOT of grief.

If you have problems uninstall ie8 to get back to IE7 and run windows update manually
for XP uncheck and click the + and then check "do not show again"

for VISTA view available updates, uncheck, right click and hide the update. Quote from: dddavis1954 on May 11, 2009, 01:55:33 PM

they want to force people to use it

I had to attach it because it said,

Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program.
Click on View > Select Colunms.
In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK.
Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt.
Attach the file to your next reply.here...

[attachment deleted by admin]You gave me OTL.txt log twice.
The second one is named Extras.txt, but contain very same info as OTL.txt
Extras.txt should start with something similar to:

When I log onto IE the toolbar appears but immediately scrolls upward and off the screen. It can be brought BACK by moving the cursor to the top of the screen. There is no problem being connected to the Internet, but this disappearing toolbar is a hassle. Also, the toolbar sometimes shows a string of green tabs for VARIOUS Favorite websites (the first items in my Favorites listing) which it never did before this problem developed. In other respects IE seems to be OK.

I use Windows Vista with IE 8.0. This problem was created by the good PEOPLE at Earthlink tech support who were trying to help me speed up a slow connection. They got the speed problem solved but they had me delete MANY files in the process. Apparently, these deletions damaged IE in some way. If this problem cannot be corrected easily, what should I do? I do not have a program or backup disk for IE. Would I have to purchase it, and if so, could I install it over the existing program? TRY F11, see if your toolbar stays on top.F11 worked! Problem solved: many thanks!

I love my Opera, but I have one trouble with it.

When on Facebook, I can't do anything which involves SENDING messages or status updates. I can type in the box, but when pressing SHARE, it doesn't do anything. This is the same on both status updating and commenting other people. It drives me mad, because I have to open IE everytime I want to do it.

Anyone got any ideas of why?I think that opera's still the worst browser out of the big FOUR (IE, Firefox, SAFARI and Opera) in terms of compatibilities with webpages. I think it's just that opera's being too strict about following the HTML code to the dot.

I'm guessing that's probably what's going on but I don't know what the code's like under the hood of facebook.

You should close all but ONE browser window...
The test will try to crash your browser so be patient and let it run...

Can anyone help ! I'm having problems accessing websites after they come up on the display page. When I click onto a website that I'd like to GO into nothing HAPPENS and it looks like IE freezes. I can access websites from the favoutite bar. Is there something blocking me from entering VIA main page. I'm not really that experienced on pc so if you can help please don't be too technical ! Many THANKS for looking. Try to open this site with another browser. Also it may error in some script on the page.Thanks maximus. I tried to do this with another browser and it did the same thing, so ended up USING system restore which seems to have worked....for now ! Once again many thanks for your advice.

How would we reset Internet Explorer? Are there some instructions on how to do that?
If we reset it, do we have to do anything else like setup our ISP stuff again somehow?

uninstall ie8

see my other posts today

FORMAT and re-install...

Why did the LIST not INCLUDE SEA MONKEY?

I've noticed that my firefox lags on pages that have a lot of "clickable" options.
Like pages where there's lots of bubbles to click..
It TAKES a while to load on these pages and sometimes it freezes until it loads all the way.
It didn't happen before, but now it does. :c


Also, sometimes my Firefox gets these "cannot FIND page" things when I go through my bookmarks.
It doesn't really seem like it's a connection problem as my messengers seem to be working fine when it occurs.


Also, I'm using Windows XP.Close Firefox. Go Start>All PROGRAMS>MOZILLA Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe MODE). Same thing?

I am currently running a rather old desktop - Dell Dimensions 9100 with Windows XP, service pack 2. I am having problems running some websites, I am thinking it's due to a software missing from my PC that the website requires but when I go to the websites I have problems with, nothing comes up at all apart "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage..." I'll get a screenshot if need be, but you guys should know the screen. I've tried Google Chrome & Internet Explorer 7 but both browser display there screens what say the page cannot be opened. Here are a few I've tried accessing but get the problem:

Can ANYONE solve my problem? MUCH appreciated if possible!
