Solve : Need help with this issue please....? |
Answer» My daughter came to visit and went on my computer using Internet Explorer not realizing that I use Firefox only. EVER since then, when I go to the computer or while I am on the computer, the Internet Explorer main page(Google is the default) comes up. I click on the Firefox ICON, and could be just looking at the ESPN site as an example, and every 3-5 minutes, that screen pops up. I then have to "X" it out, and then I get the Internet Explorer error message, which says IE has to shut down, sorry for the inconvenience, and do I want the report, ETC. This is incredibly annoying. I just purchased a "Registry Cleaner" and I EVEN tried to delete the IE folder through "KillBot" but it wouldn't allow it? Need help please! Thanks!Quote I just purchased a "Registry Cleaner"You just paid for messing your computer up even more. Uninstall, work couple more hours more this week to cover losses Quote tried to delete the IE folder through "KillBot"Another bad move. Can't you just ask around before doing something what's gonna kill your computer sooner, or later? Now, please explain when IE pops up, because I simply don't understand it from your description.Well after running the Registry Cleaner the pop up problem has gone away. I also did a defrag and my computer is much faster as well. Seems LIKE all is well now. Thanks! |

Solve : Outlook express is making me nuts? |
Answer» OE is e-mailing all of my PREVIOUS e-mails every time I send a new one. I've used the "Delete All" in IE tools including "Off Line" and "stored in add ons". I've also run CCleaner. If you install microsoft office it screwed with your OE settings, Try this: Quote from: dddavis1954 on May 11, 2009, 01:51:30 PM If you install microsoft office it screwed with your OE settings,What you're saying is that installing MS Office would change the default email program from OE to Outlook. I think that depends on how the user doing the installation of Office responds to certain options during installation. But, yes, if Office was installed and the default email client got changed, it could be changed back using your procedure. However, we no indication so far that Office was installed. Quote from: dddavis1954 on May 11, 2009, 01:51:30 PM FYI, Webmail is in VISTA not XPNo, webmail simply means accessing an email account via web browser instead of an email client (OE, Outlook, etc.). For, the YAHOO Mail service is webmail. Hotmail and Google's Gmail are also commonly accessed via web browser and, THEREFORE, are webmail. Obviously, the OS has nothing to do with this. Quote from: soybean on May 07, 2009, 10:17:01 AM What virus protection are you using? What firewall are you using? Are you using any spyware removal tools?Kaspersky IS 8.0, Kaspersky's firewall, no removal tools. Thanks for the reply, sorry to take so long to get back to you and I still have the problem...working my way down the list of replies...still need advice. EdQuote from: Geek-9pm on May 07, 2009, 02:27:30 PM You can use another email program without losing any of you prior work. I don't load any e-mails on to my laptop. I just view it all online. I have Hotmail (Personal) and Smartermail (Business)...I don't think Smartermail loads. The only time I use OE is when replying on craigslist or contacting someone via their website and they automatically go to OE. Otherwise, strictly Hotmail and Smartermail. Office 2003 is installed but I have yet to configure Outlook. Are the settings to be changed in IE or Outlook. Also, why does my OE not have options and folders that appear to be on other's OE? I could solve this on my own if I could get to these folders and follow steps I've seen posted elsewhere. Again, the only way I can open OE is by responding to Craigslist posting or "Contact page" on someone's website. How else can I open it? Thanks Quote the only way I can open OE is by responding to Craigslist posting or "Contact page" on someone's website. How else can I open it?Is OE on your Programs menu? If you open Add or Remove Programs from you Control Panel and select Add/Remove WINDOWS Components, is OE shown as being installed?Nope, OE is not on the Start menu's list of programs and it's not in Add/Remove programs. Its all very wierd. I didn't have any luck with Search either although I may not be using the correct word/phrase. Quote from: sg on May 14, 2009, 04:32:01 PM Nope, ... it's not in Add/Remove programs. .I didn't say it should be in Add/Remove programs. I said: Quote from: soybean on May 14, 2009, 10:28:35 AM If you open Add or Remove Programs from your Control Panel and select Add/Remove Windows Components, is OE shown as being installed?Quote from: soybean on May 14, 2009, 04:36:51 PM I didn't say it should be in Add/Remove programs. I said: Chill dude...so I missed the word "Components". No, it wasn't listed as installed but it is now I all my problems are solved. Thank you for your help. I knew it would be something simple. |

Solve : What IE8 add-ons are musts?? |
Answer» I have a problem, no right-click menu, that is obviously being caused by an add-on, because my Internet Explorer is FINE when I run it in the No Add-ons Mode. I've disabled a lot of the add-ons, but I'm still having a problem and there isn't much left except for things such as java and flash. What are the add-ons that one can't do without and are the rest not needed, such as AVG Safe Search? There really isn't a lot left that I can disable. I have Super Ad Blocker, surely this can't be what's causing this because I've used it with IE7 and MAYBE since then too.Quote from: Tetra on May 13, 2009, 06:36:08 AM I have a problem, no right-click menu, that is obviously being caused by an add-on, Are you answering your own question? It sounds like you are overloaded with ad-ons... why are you using so many? IE prity much TAKES care of ad blocking any good anti-virus software should control pop-ups and ILLEGAL access. It sounds like you have done over-kill. |

Also, when I open up IE and I have to click on a little tab at the top, then another tab to the left that says yahoo. Then Yahoo opens. Also, when i have links in my EMAILS I am not able to open those up either. Nothing happens...Anyone Help!!! Also, when i have links in my emails I am not able to open those up either. Nothing happens...What email program are you using?UNINSTALL IE8 Control panel Programs and Features Right click on Internet Explorer 8 and uninstall Restart computer Run Windows Update, VIEW the available update, uncheck IE8 update, right click and Hide the IE8 update to prevent it from installing again.

Solve : Cannot change themes in firefox? |
Answer» Hello- # Mozilla User Preferences and user.js is not so interesting... Code: [Select]user_pref("yahoo.homepage.dontask", true);Hope this is of some use. -N [moderated message: fixed horizontal scrolling]Try to create new profile, and see, if same thing happens: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_FirefoxTry DLoading the Theme Switcher extension...Quote Try DLoading the Theme Switcher extension...I used "Search Add-ons" with key words "theme switcher extension" and got one hit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=theme+switcher+extension&cat=all and apparently it was for older versions of firefox. Do you know of a link for a theme switcher extension for firefox 3.0.10? I use the Mr. Tech Toolkit extension to enable older extensions to install on newer Firefox RELEASES...Well- I downloaded Mr Tech Toolkit extension and now when I navigate to Tools-Add-ons and go to Mr. Tech Toolkit I click on the Options button and the Add-ons window freezes. When I click anywhere on it my computer beeps at me and nothing happens. I cannot even close the window. I need to use the Task Manager to terminate the process. What HAPPENED?Not sure what to say....i have zero issues with FireFox. Mr.Tech Toolkit has never locked up on me. Perhaps your profile is corrupt. Create a new Profile to test....It seems like a lot of work. I have enough on my plate right now without having to fix Firefox, so I'm thinking I'll switch to Google Chrome. I read the results of the poll and it seems that the general consensus is that Chrome is the fastest. Also I'm intrigued with the simplicity of it. No Menu No skins I haven't yet made it my default browser, but I'm definitely considering it. Thanks to all who tried to help. If anyone has anything further to add I would welcome any suggestions, comments, whatever. -N I had the same problem but I finally found a firefox extension called Personas for firefox. It worked just fine for me and is very easy to use. Just download the extension and choose from the gallery. |

Solve : How to gather info for ThunderBird?? |
Answer» Or whatever the Mozilla email organising program is called. How do I find out what internet protocol to use, what my host's IP address and/or address is? This is actually for my mobile/cell phone but I'm being baffled by all the same questions. Please help!Ask your ISP...they will have the correct settings...I use hotmail, should I ask them?Hotmail, or Windows LIVE Mail as it should be called, does not support any types of computer-based email readers such as Windows Mail, Thunderbird etc.I respectfully DISAGREE... Hotmail, or Windows Live Mail as it should be called, does not support any types of computer-based email readers such as Windows Mail, Thunderbird etc. it supports POP3.Quote from: patio on September 15, 2009, 05:15:02 PM I respectfully disagree... But why would Virgin know the connection specifications of MSN/hotmail? Isn't that asking one shop about another SHOPS products? (in BLIGHTY you do that sort of THING and the rival shop tells you how rubbish that shop is and how you shouldn't shop there).The POP and SMTP settings allow you to send and recieve mail thru Thunderbird and come from your ISP. Once that's up and running you should be able to reach your Hotmail account as well...I have mine working, I'll transcribe it here: Server Name: pop3.live.com Username: [emailprotected] Port: 995 use Secure Connection is set to "SSL" "Use secure authentication" is unchecked. Outgoing is found lower down, add a SMTP server entry: Server name: smtp.live.com Port: 587 I have "use name and password" checked off. And use secure connection is set to TLS.

Solve : Why can't I get right-click menu in IE8?? |
Answer» Ever since I downloaded IE8 I've had the problem of not getting a right-click menu. First, with Vista and now with Windows 7, the same thing. When I first did a clean install of Windows 7, the right-click menu in Internet Explorer 8 worked fine, then later on it started doing the same thing. Are there certain add-ons that are known for causing this? Disabling some of them to see has not worked out. Could there possibly be something else causing this? Has anybody else had this problem before?Sometimes a particular Internet Explorer add-on will cause this issue. |

Solve : Firefox Problems? |
Answer» Surely add-ons are the main issue here. The more of them you have, the longer it takes for firefox.exe process to endMy other laptop doesn't have this problem, and has about 80% of the add-ons this one has. I'll have to investigate further... Quote since I don't have to restart FF anymore.How come? Whaddya do?I told you. When I disabled GM, I don't have RAM usage problem anymore.Ah right. Interesting..... I remember you had all those scripts for rounding buttons and text fields. Yeah, I miss them a little, but I'd rather not have RAM issues.Been following your REPLIES and I blame a program I downloaded from the Tor site, it was a program to hide my ISP so that I could watch English TV here in Tenerife. I still haven't sorted my problem but I've instructed the household not to close FF until shutting down the computer. I've tried everything suggested on the Mozilla site but still no go, awaiting a reply from Firefox crew but I don't hold out much hope. I know that the problem is that FF does not remove the Parent lock from Profiles but don't know why because it obviously REMOVES it on shutdown. DaveYou can shut down FF any time you want. You just have to wait a few seconds before starting up again.I can't open FF once I close it until I reboot. That,s the problem! DaveDownload taskkill and copy it to C:\Windows\System32. Now go to Notepad and type the following: Code: [Select]taskkill /f /im firefox.exe Go to File --> Save As --> Filename.bat. Now, when you close Firefox, run that batch file and see if you can start FF again.Cheers Carbon, It does work so will save me rebooting each time, Many THANKS, DaveGlad I could help. You may want to try disabling that add-on to see if it really the cause of the problem.Hi, Too long winded to go into it but I have removed every folder & File using the search function of the program but I think it must have left some residual .dll file or something which I can't find, anyway it's not a problem with the taskkill. DaveOkey dokey. |

Solve : Multiple file downloading? |
Answer» I have recently upgraded to IE8. When I was using IE7 I had changed the settings in the browser to allow up to 6 files to be downloaded simultaneously instead of the default 2. Unfortunately I can't recall how I made the change so I am CURRENTLY STUCK with the default setting again. I think the change involved altering a value in the REGISTRY. Can someone please enlighten me. |

Solve : Error Message with Secure Website(https:)? |
Answer» Try going to Edit > Preferences > Advance > Encryption tab. Click View Certificates > Servers. Click Add, then try to add that site. See if it wont issue a certificate error. Quote from: Saurabhdua on June 17, 2009, 09:36:35 AM As far as uninstalling & re-installing is concerned, that's a NO JOKE with plenty of Extensions already queued up in the existing version! At the risk of REPEATING myself ... again! ... there is something wrong with the Firefox installation. If you can't be bothered to reinstall, try a different browser. And if you don't like the advice you're receiving here, there are many other places where VOLUNTEERS will be willing to advise. But I suspect you will get the same advice there. Since this is likely to be a Firefox-specific problem - maybe a known bug - you could try over at the Mozilla forums for some specialist advice. Note that you SHOULD be seeing that "error code", whether Firefox is working or not. The problem is that Firefox is not offering any options.also of interest, is that is the error dialog Internet Explorer 4 and 5 throw up, I believe. What do you think we should be able to do? Fix it from here? As KPAC said, we already KNOW what the error is, the trick is finding out WHY your getting that alert, rather then the default page. Quote plenty of Extensions already queued up in the existing version! Exactly. Have you tried FF safe mode? Or are you going to continue pestering for end-all-be all solutions that we cannot provide? Quote As far as dilemma goes on for Google page in that Screenshot...Guys..Come on..it is my 'Homepage'! There is something your obviously not understanding here. The dialog should NOT appear for google at all, since it doesn't use https. I'm sure that it's one of your extensions/add-ons. Guys...Guys...Guys!...Please Hold on! Iam now able to navigate to the same & KUDOS to JerryHeavyarms for an exact REPLY I was looking for! I have manually added an exception to https://mail.nic.in via the method told by him & now it goes as smooth as Ferrari to its intended destination! Thanks to you all & a SPECIAL HUG for Jerryheavyarms! Who cares about that error now?! [attachment deleted by admin]Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 17, 2009, 08:14:52 PM also of interest, is that is the error dialog Internet Explorer 4 and 5 throw up, I believe. Firefox using the IE RENDERING engine by default perhaps? |

Solve : Web based email security questions?? |
Answer» I hope this is the right area of the forum to post this. 4th - If I change to pc based email account, how is the best way to transfer all my yahoo mail account saved folders to either my hardrive or my pc based folders?I don't believe you can, since Yahoo Mail is web-based mail. Yahoo does have a fee-based version which allows downloading your Yahoo mail to a POP email client such as Outlook or Outlook Express; I believe that email service costs $20/yr. Otherwise, you could setup a POP mail account, logon to your Yahoo Mail account, and forward Yahoo messages to yourself, to your POP mail account.How can I get the settings from my ISP for setting up a POP mail account other than calling the company on my phone (or having my landlord do it), which is what I did last time I had a POP account years ago?Look on their web site?I have Cox cable ISP but all I see on their site is webmail. https://idm.east.cox.net/coxlogin/ui/webmail?TARGET=-SM-http%3a%2f%2fwebmail.east.cox.net%2fdo%2fhomeTry >here<, under POP/SMTP settings.Thanks Rob. I found that Cox cable page and should have posted before now but I've been working long hours and haven't had time to pursue this more after I got a "address not found" page load error when trying to access all 4 links listed on that page under "Windows Mail" 'How To's ...'

Solve : Page not found? |
Answer» Hi, I have windows vista and use MOZILLA Firefox. For the last two days whenever I open up my browser, internet explorer starts up with page not found, even though I'm not looking for one, nor am I using that browser. The page listed not found is "favorit" which I've never HEARD of. I delete it but it just KEEPS coming back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Try changing your homepage and see if the problem STILL persists.Think I've solved it (fingers crossed), found a programme had been installed without my knowledge called "favorit" so I've UNINSTALLED it. The page hasn't recurred since. |

Solve : Javascript and CSS errors? |
Answer» I get all sorts of errors from many common websites I use in my daily life, such as Yahoo, Facebook and practically every other site. These errors appear with every browser (IE, Firefox and Opera) and are certainly my problem, as they only happen on my computer. JavaScript Also, for one more example. This website, http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/halo-3/guide/ should allow clicking Show/Hide to expand and close a box, but again, errors: Quote CSS - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/css/x360a.cssare you currently developing your own site?? or you can get that error, when visiting yahoo, google or any sites??Those errors are the webpage's problems, not your computer's. It's all a compatibility issue, really, so the Yahoo site wasn't made with Opera in mind. Ok, but why then did it happen with Firefox too? I got many of the same errors, which is why I went looking for a new browser and found Opera.Trust me! These are all the website's problems. The errors will vary depending on browser, and browser version, so that's probably why it's happening on your browsers.Oh, I believe you, so I hope it works with IE or something. What browser should work?Is Opera and Firefox up-to-date? You could try IE.Hm. Wait a minute. This makes NO SENSE. I'm sure that it can't be the browser, becuase I'm getting the same errors on IE, Opera AND Firefox. And I KNOW this stuff works on friends/family on those browsers. I know at least two of the three are up to date.Quote Trust me! These are all the website's problems. kpac's trying to tell you that the problems are with the site itself, and not the browser with which you're trying to view the site.Quote from: Kingofall32 on May 28, 2009, 03:53:47 PM Hm. Wait a minute. This makes NO SENSE. And this would prove that it's the site...not the browser.Yeah, sorry, I said that wrong. What I meant is how do these problems happen only on my computer? My friend's computer doesn't have these, neither do my Grandmothers or anyone else? *I wish I knew more about internet *Well you are kind of right actually - this is confusing. What operating system are these browsers with the errors on?Yeah, so many people haven't been able to help me. I've got a gaming Dell XPS 400 with Windows XP, CA Security Suite as my internet protection and firewall and such. Could it be registry errors, by any chance?Quote from: Kingofall32 on May 29, 2009, 04:38:07 AM Could it be registry errors, by any chance? Very unlikely. Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop. * Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. * Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish. * If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install. * If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. * Once the program has loaded, select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan. * When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results. * Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. * When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Save it to a convenient location like the Desktop. * The log is also automatically saved and can be viewed later by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM. * Copy and Paste the contents of the report in your REPLY. * Exit MBAM. Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.Guys, The problem might not exist at the browser or the web site. Misbehaving proxy servers (which includes the filtering capabilities of some internet security suites) have a habit of munging ancillary files such as external stylesheets and scripts. So two thoughts arise: one, try browsing to a problematic website with CA temporarily disabled. Second, confirm whether your ISP provides your internet service via a proxy. (Like AOL.) Web acceleration software can also have this effect, incidentally. |

Solve : I think I'm computer jinxed!? |
Answer» I am using a Toshiba Satellite running an AMD Turion 64 X 2 with 2.00 GB Ram. I an using Internet Explorer which is the problem. Allan Quote from: Tweaks.com Forum Etiquette & Guidelines Please do not post links to competing web sites unless it is an integral part of your response to a technical question in a thread. Allan, I installed Mozilla from your link and when I click on it, or IE, Open Office comes up. Is there anyway I can uninstall this nuisance? SandraQuote from: Nonnie on September 13, 2009, 03:36:33 PM It popped up when I was trying to find information on how to get my Favorites imported into Mozilla, which I still haven't found.Again, in Firefox click on FILE - IMPORT - INTERNET EXPLORER.............Are you saying Open Office doesn't appear in ADD / REMOVE in Control Panel? And again, just FYI, Open Office and Firefox are separate apps unless you installed the Open Office add-on in Firefox.Yes, that is what i am saying. When I downloaded Firefox all I did was hit the download button, hit run, etc. Nothing came up about addons. The Open Office is coming up as my home page, even though I have another page set as my home page, when I click on Firefox to get on the internet. I sincerely think me or my compute, or both, are jinxed. SandraSandra, I looked on Google and there seem to be a number of people with a problem uninstalling Open Office. Did you intentionally download and install Open Office? If not, can you provide the link where you originally downloaded Firefox? Also, just for the heck of it please do two other things. Please run a full scan with your anti virus utility and also download Malware Bytes and run a full scan with that too.If I'm reading this right, Nonnie has a problem with Open Office establishing itself as Firefox home page. Is that so?Perhaps I misunderstood. Sandra, is it just that Firefox's homepage is Open Office, or is Open Office installed on your system?I may be wrong as well. Let's see...Allan, I, too checked Google and found that many people have this problem. I installed OO myself. I Googled Open Office and found the link www.openoffice.org and downloaded it from there. I have tried going to Programs and Features (I have Vista) and it's not listed there and I have tried using a search for it and find nothing on my computer. I will run the anti-virus scan and the malware scan and get back with you tomorrow. Thanks for now. Sandra Allan, I ran the anti-spy ware and the Malware. Everything was okay on the anti-spyware. Here's what the malware says: Invali Shortcut 117 Tracking Cookie 6 Window Registry 18 Active X Control 54 System Service 1 File ASSOCIATION 179 Shared DDL 45 Application Path 4 Help File 1 All the other listings had 0Okay - you can let Malware Bytes fix everything. Do you use a disk imaging utility? If not, I suggest you (and everyone else) download one and use it on a regular basis (and before you let MalwareBytes make the corrections - just in case). I am a FAN of Acronis True Image, but that's not free. There are a number of good, free alternatives (Google: Free Disk Imaging Software). If that doesn't fix it I suggest you try the following: Reinstall Open Office to the exact same location. See if it appears in Programs & Features. If it does, uninstall it. If not, see if there is an uninstall.exe in the Program folder (may be "uninstall.exe", "unwise.exe", or something similar). |
