When viewingmy local COUNCIL planning application data the Text is HIDDEN until I press Ctl + A to select all. How do I un-hide this text? Sometimes the text COLOUR is the same as (or similar to) the background colour. Maybe you should SEND an email to the site's webmaster.Give us a link to the page or a similar page on the same website.The text is visable via IE7 Browser so I don't think the problem it's related to text colour.

See link below per request:

Tfafford Borough Coucil have told me the text is designed to be visible!
Because they don't know how to build a webpage properly...Web designers can USE different methods to display a page differently depending on the browser the visitor is using.

I have just changed from using Internet Explorer to Google Chrome. Google Chrome works much better on my system. Now when I USE MSN Messenger and click on OPEN e mail inbox it takes me to Windows Live sign in page. How can I change this to take me DIRECTLY to my inbox like it used to with Internet Explorer?Just login on hotmail, and click the tick box stating "remember my password"

Then it should all be sweet from there

I am UNABLE to use the search function on my secondary computer(the one I use for searching). When I click on the search/magnifying glass, the search pane opens, but is hogged by Google and there is no search option, only a button to upgrade to IE8. The "customize" function does open the pane with different search service/search providers, and selections other than google can be highlighted, but they do not "take"-still just the google upgrade to IE 8. There is nothing google in the add/remove programs to remove. How can I GET google to release control of my search function? I am using windows XP Pro, IE 6 and Norton.

Thank you for your timeWelcome to CH. Hope you enjoy your time here.
Now, are you able to DOWNLOAD IE8? And, if so, why not upgrade? This would be a good start.It's a very good idea to keep all of your programs up to date.Hi, have you updated your IE?

Hi, have you updated your IE? What overthehill said is quite right. Just update it and see whether everything goes well.

First I'd get rid of norton and use avg. I posted a poll on here to see if Norton was any good and nobody voted for it at all. All the votes went against it.

In regards to the search can you look in "tools>internet options>advanced" then scroll until you find the little magnifying glass and see what it says there?

My IE6 opens pdf files in Adobe ACROBAT, which is slow to start. I would like instead to open them by default with Foxit Reader, but I don't find a way. I can only disable the Acrobat add-on in IE, and the result is that the pdf files don't open at all. Is there a solution?If you disable the IE addon you should just get the usual download or run dialog box. Do you see this?Why are you STILL using IE6? Why haven't you updated IE to version 7 or 8?

What version Foxit Reader do you have?

What service pack do you have installed for Windows XP? I suspect you're out of date in that AREA, too.uninstall adobe acrobat reader completely, uninstall foxit reader completely, then reinstall foxit reader. start there and also update your computer so you don't have problems doing things when you can't do SOMETHING 'cuz your using outdated stuff.Quote from: soybean on July 09, 2010, 04:32:02 AM

I just bought a new 17" LG monitor and i formatted my pc so it's a clean slate, nothing but xp and some basic programs such as adobe reader, photoshop, ms office.

i went to youtube to watch waka-waka but the weird thing is when i pushed the full screen mode the screen just went all WHITE. i pressed esc and the vid looked just fine, i pushed the full screen mode again and the same thing happened. i then installed adobe flash player (h TTP://w ww DOT adobe dot com/support/flashplayer/downloads dot html#fp10) and java (h ttp://w ww dot java dot com/en/download/index dot jsp) but the problem just won't go away.

what's wrong? can SOMEONE help me, please?

Firefox's new update has the plugin crashing all the time. I just installed Opera, so I need these type of Ad-ons. Thanks. I am not FAMILIAR with the Firefox comparison feature (even though i do use both firefox and opera). However Opera does have a user control ability on cookies which will go a long way to your control of external invasions of your computer. (not of the viral/spyware kind).You can even incorporate the ability on a case by case basis as to whether you want to PERMIT a site to generate a COOKIE. Generally speaking i am in favour of cookies but i do like the ability to chose whether to permit or not.The parameters of choice are quite broad from all-to none with choices in between.truenorthHave you updated your Firefox addons ? ? it asks automatically in the update process...

I have both addons you mentioned...updated FFox 2 days ago and have had no issues with either...What version of Firefox do you have? The latest version, 3.6.4, has a separate program called plugin-container which is designed to prevent problems like that.

Do you know which browser is the fastest out of them all? Thanks.

For the past few years I've been using Firefox as my browser but recently added Google CHROME to see what it was like. I found Chrome basically took over my email in that any links I clicked on used their browser to direct me. I found I didn't like Chrome that much for a couple of different reasons and thought I got rid of it. Now when I open my email and there is a link to CLICK on,,,,it doesn't open the site I WANT to see. And the same thing applies to a few websites even now when I try to TYPE them in the address bar. Any help would be APPRECIATED. Thanks in advance.In Firefox: Tools - Options - Advanced Tab - General Tab - Put a tick in: Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser
Then click on "check now"
See if that helps.Allan....You are Da Man!!!.....thank you very much.You're welcome.

Hi All,

When visiting www.facebook.com in IE 8, it comes up saying Internet EXPLORER has blocked a risk, and prevents an Iframe at the bottom of the facebook.com LOGIN appearing. The url of this iframe is as follows:

I purchased a computer from a pawn shop. It has a network connection and can do automatic updates, but when I try to OPEN a browser an AOL parental control pops up and blocks my access to the internet. I cannot remove the AOL from control PANEL. Is there any way to DISABLE the parental controls without knowing the PASSWORD?your best bet would be to start fresh with a clean OS install.A clean operating system install would be best, especially for a computer that came from a pawn shop, but did any disks COME with the computer? Do you have any disks for an operating system?

Hello all, if someone could help or point in the correct direction, it would be appreciated. My MOTHER informed me that her computer (Compaq) would not let her go to Facebook, but the rest of the internet was fine. I ran ANTIVIRUS, SPYWARE, and malware SOFTWARE, and that still did not fix it. I then got on my laptop (macbook), and the same problem is happening to my computer. This leads me to believe that it is obviously a problem with out router or WIFI. Thanks for any suggestions, either way!

hi,

can anybody TELL me which is the fastest and the best x64 bit WEB browser ??

SajMinefield, IMO, which is a x64 firefox build. but, I still use the 32-bit firefox... had a number of ISSUES with minefield.You must have walked on a few mines.Quote from: kpac on June 30, 2010, 11:49:02 AM

You must have walked on a few mines.

I am using my desktop to post this because I can't get on-LINE with my laptop at all. On my laptop, neither Firefox nor IE will open. It is a secondhand Dell laptop with Windows XP Professional. I have SafeEyes as my Internet filter.
When I try to open Firefox, this error message pops up: firefox.exe - Bad Image The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\xul.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

I don't know if there is an installation diskette that came with this computer. Someone bought it for me off EBay several months ago, and Firefox used to work fine. I almost always use Firefox, so I don't know just when IE stopped working, but when I try to open IE, all that happens is another IE icon appears on the desktop.

I have Norton 360 and I think Firefox quit soon after I updated my computer, not sure which update (if any) could have caused this problem.

My computer is low on hard drive space. Could the small amount of memory cause both browsers to quit working?When and if you get the laptop working one of your 1st orders of business ought to be to totally remove Norton from your computer. There are far better (and free) anti virus software programs available such as Avira,Avast and AVG. Although it is certainly not prooven (yet) Norton is very invasive and wants to take over any computer it is installed on. Can you access anything via the web? Email for instance? Why is it that your low on HDD space? What is the HDD capacity? You may have to delete some things and reinstall them. However due to your inability to access browsers that may have to wait until you can. What type of internet connection do you have? When you say "updated my computer" what do you mean by that/ truenorthWhen I say that I updated my computer I mean that when I got back on-line (at the library) after not having Internet for a couple of months, the first thing I did was install whatever updates popped up. It was a couple months ago that this occurred, so I may not remember correctly, but I think it updated the antivirus software and maybe the filtering software as well. I'm not sure if there were any other updates at that time. After this process was complete, and I restarted the computer, the browsers didn't work. So I gave up trying to use the library's wireless internet, and went home. Later I got cable internet at home, and at that time Firefox worked well. Then firefox quit working weeks later.
The laptop is connected to the internet, however. I know because SafeEyes is able to connect. I only use Yahoo email, so I can't check that on the laptop without a browser.
The computer is low on HDD space because I started saving pictures, short video clips of my daughter, and lots of audio recordings on the computer, before I realized that the hard drive was too small for all of that. It is 37.2 GB, and it has 5.43 GB of free space, MAINLY because I've been moving a lot of stuff to an external hard drive. Before I got the external drive, there was virtually no free space left.
Your 1st task should be to start burning those pics and vid clips to CD/DVD's...
Windows needs approx. 15% Free space to run properly...I'll work on freeing up more space. Is there any advantage of burning the pictures to CD rather than just saving them on the external hard drive?
I finally found a way to access the Internet on the laptop. I right-clicked the Start button, then clicked Explore, then the Search button, then "search the Internet." From there I was able to download Firefox and reinstall it.
Now Firefox works, but IE still cannot be opened by clicking the icon. I don't like to use IE anyway, but if anyone knows why the icon doesn't work, I'd certainly like to know. No the choice of where you put your large video /audio files is not relevant to an ongoing issue of not enough HDD space. However often when a transfer is done to an external device they are still retained on the HDD--so make sure once you are satisfied that they indeed do exist on the other device,then delete them from your HDD. The only advantage (and not inconsequential to the choice ) is the vulnerability of these prescious files. A CD/DVD disc is more secure than external HDD's or flash drives as they too are subject to sudden an catastrophic failure. Personal experience known on this subject.Now that you have restored a browser connection you can probably solve your IE issue by simply upgrading the IE software to a higher level if you want to be able to access that browser. However if it is just to have an alternative to Firefox there are others such as Opera that are free to install. I use Opera and am very satisfied with it. Chrome is another. It may be that your current shortcut icon is no longer associated with the IE browser. You could create another (2) shortcut and see if it works--if it does delete the other one. truenorthYes, I just wanted an alternative to Firefox in case Firefox ever quits working again. Thanks for the warning about the external hard drive; I will start burning the important stuff to CD again. I usually have the pictures saved on Snapfish, too.
How do I create another shortcut that will actually work? As I said, when I doubleclick on the IE icon, another IE icon appears on the screen. When I click on the new shortcut, yet another icon pops up. This could go on indefinitely. I do not know which method you are trying to use to access IE. A sure fire way that should work is to hold your mouse cursor over the "start" and chose "all programs". If IE is installed it will appear in the list as "internet explorer" click on it from there. It should open.Once you have successfully opened it via that method you can right click on the open web site and make a desktop shortcut that when used from then on will open that precise page. However once open you can insert the URL for any web address and click on "enter" from your keyboard and AWAY you go. Also the IE access option (once done from start/programs) will appear in the open window on the left hand side of that window and can be clicked on from there also. The list of programs in that left hand window reflect your most recent utilization's of programs. My suggestion to upgrade your version of IE was based on a nonfunctioning current version and an upgrade will overwrite that version and should eliminate the problem of access. What version of IE have you currently installed?truenorthFirefox: Go into "tools > options > Advance > settings" in the settings page make sure that the "Direct connect to the internet" is ticked.

IE7: Go into "tools > internet options > connections > Lan settings" make sure all the boxes are NOT ticked. Re-start your browsers to access the internet. Also make sure in IE7 that the "work off line" is not ticked.
Thanks to all who replied to my question. Both browsers now work!

Have W7 and had definitely PLANNED to use Opera but the new Java se6 v 20 does not seem to work in my Opera 10.54 which means it doesnt work for my BankID either. There seems to be a java version for Opera but I can not import that one via the Java Installer, it does not work...any suggestions? Use of IE is NO option...ACCORDING to http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/375/, you only need to install Java in Windows. You do not need to install a plugin because Opera uses the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system directly instead of using the plug-in to run Java applets. yup, possible but it still doesnt work. Have installed latest version 20 in 32 bits and version 17 in 64 bits...At present, I only have Opera installed in Linux Ubuntu. So, not sure what else to advise you. Exactly what is the problem concerning your BankID? soybean...in XP/IE8 the Java Applet automatically started because it is used when entering my bankaccount and after that I can do business online with the bank...in W7/Opera that Applett doesnt start because they say Opera is using JRE and not a Java plugin...so that neceassary applet does not start up and so no me getting in into my bankID...and that means I HAVE to use IE while i am trying NOT to use MS applications.... strange thing: I see now that I have IE8 in both 32 and 64 bits in W7?

this W7 stuff is a confusing heap of both bits types.... Quote from: Peterwolfe on June 29, 2010, 04:05:53 PM

On an XP SP3 Dell LAPTOP, INTERNET Explorer will not go to web url's. The Wireless network icon shows connected with good strength.
What settings in IE or on the Dell would cause IE not to go to a web address. IE: Tools/Options/Connections/LAN settings...uncheck use proxy...

If it's checked you're INFECTED.

I've recently downloaded OPERA.

I have a top toolbar with all the usual features - back and forward arrows, lock, page reset, home (which I'd like to change), address bar and search, and the sidebar has bookmarks, widgets, unite, etc.

The Opera Help Tutorials say I should also have a main menu, but I have no inkling of how to get to that and I really would like to get to the browser settings and make some CHANGES, and also to have access to Print etc.

If anybody can enlighten me, I'd be grateful.

I USE Windows XP Home EDITION, Version 2002, Service Pack 3. I have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+, the system runs at 3.02GHz and I have 3.00 GB of RAM. My hard drive is 298GB with 194GB of free space.

I have a T61 Lenovo Thinkpad which will not connect to the internet wirelessly. I have also tryed to plug it in via land line and it does nothing.

Any ideas of how to fix this/ what could be CAUSING this?

The COMPUTER runs Microsoft XP Proffesional, Service Pack 3.Has it ever been able to connect to the internet? If yes then what has CHANGED? Have you contacted your ISP? Have you contacted the manufacturer of the wireless router? truenorthIt did in the past but that was about a year and a half ago. Then it went through alot of trouble with viruses and such. But now the viruses have been removed and it works for the most part fine. I have not contacted either of them yet. I know its not the router though because I have two desktops on it right now.When i referred to the "router" i was specifically referring to the one connected to the laptop. It could be an internal one or i could be an external. That one is unique to the laptop and could be the source of the problem.truenorthThe laptop has an internal router.Quote from: truenorth on June 24, 2010, 08:06:24 AM

How can we increase the speed of loading pages a WEB browser such as Firefox .manually install a program me CALLED INTERNET BOOSTER its free on the web, it will load your pages really fast. thank u
I have heard several programs like this.
But i ASK for the manual method. To know what is the mechanism to increase the speedtry SpeedyFix tool. RUN it and see if firefox now runs really fast May be increasing the browser's cache could help a little bit. You could TRY it, it could improve the speed especially for web sites which are already saved in cache memory.

Did anyone LEAVE a trail of breadcrumbs so we can find our way back?truenorth

A few MONTHS back I had a Conficker attack, followed by a fake antivirus attack. I cleaned both of them. Shortly afterwards I seemed to lose the ability to connect to update servers, not all of them but quite a few. I PLAY Legend of Mir 3 that will not update. Windows itself will not update. Adobe will not update. There are a few others but cannot remember who.

Also I can no longer connect to my wireless printer.

I can use the internet FULLY in every other way, browse, download, upload, even play games online. I can connect to other computers in the house and even stream off my laptop to my xbox.

I'm using a laptop, windows VISTA, firefox and a wireless router, I was using windows firewall but have switched to zonealarm to try to fix this, it didn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem or do you need more specific info to help diagnose it?

Cheers if you can help, cheers anyway for looking.

kalahari, Welcome to the CH forums. I would suggest given your post that you copy the post and reinsert it in the "Computer and virus spyware" portion of the CH forums. You may have done some things but perhaps have not removed ALL of the effects of your invasions. The people there are uniquely qualified to assit you in that REGARD. goodluck,truenorth

Turned off SmartScreen Filter temporarily but still no change. Thoght maybe latest Security updates for IE 8 might reset something but no. Scanned with MSE, MSRT, MBAM, SAS, IOBIT, HitmanPro, DrWeb Cureit and EmiSoft. Used Revo uninstaller, CCleaner and RootRevealer as well. Can't think it's a malware problem.
Did you have asuggestion?
rhabWhat are you running just now... xp, vista, 7...

MMXP SP3 Toshiba A70 Celeron 2.80 512 ram 40 HDD, MSE, MBAM-ProtectedHi,

Try the following below for me please.

right click on taskbar > task manager > highlight any program and click e, find explorer.exe and then click end process but keep task manager open

On the menu bar in task manager click file > new task (run) and type explorer.exe and see what happens and let me know please.

If you want to do that just now, I'll keep an eye here and you can let me know how it goes. If you are going to do it later can you let me know so that I'm not sitting for ages thinking you're going to get back to me LOL!!!

Rgds,
MMJust to say that when you end the process of explorer.exe the taskbar will vanish completely but don't worry it will start up again when you restart the explorer.exe in task manager.

MMThe task bar disappeared and reappeared as you suggested. Did happen tonote I have two iexplore.exe
running.end the process on the one with the least memory usage.Did that, lost both entries, added again and two entries appeared, both of which show equal usage.
Downloaded some files today, still no prompt through notification bar.um... internet explorer is iexplore.exe, windows explorer is explorer.exe.

This I know, is there a point to be made? I'm all ears. Any elaboration is welcome.Quote from: rhabdomantist on June 13, 2010, 01:26:54 PM

It started yesterday... I started to notice that some images were broken in chrome. So, I took the website to Firefox, and I had the same issue... some images weren't loading. The same was in Opera, and Internet Explorer.
When right clicked on the broken image icon, copied the URL, and took that URL to a separate tab, the image loaded PERFECTLY.. For some images however, I got a 404 NOT FOUND.
I am running WINDOWS Vista home Basic, I did not recently install any new software/hardware.
I am running Google Chrome 5.0 beta, Firefox 3.6.3, Opera 10.53, and IE 8.

Sounds like poorly built WEB pages to me....
Yeah, sounds like a broken link on the page between the image on the page displayed and the actual IMG src (image source). Just a broken link really

RGDS,
MMits sound is beautiful and nice.
because it so beautiful.

I run the diagnostic and it states PROXY SERVER settings are wrong.
What are the norm proxy settings and is their a option to REPAIR IE8.Tools/Options/Connections/Lan Settings...uncheck Use Proxy...close down and re-boot...

PS You may be infected.Thank You. I will also run a scan.No problem...
It may be worth a trip to Our VIRUS and Malware section and follow the info for posting your logs...
This is a low level infection...however it's designed to not only block Windows Updates but also blocks many A/V protection apps from updating as well as blocking any online scanners...

I have 20 computers on the same subnet, behind the same firewall and single router. I have one external IP that all computers use, and all computers receive exactly the same GPO settings. 10 computers can access a certain secure website while the other 10 can't, site times out. BTW all computers are XP Pro SP3

Things I've TRIED and ruled out: none of which worked
-Using different web browsers (FF, Safari, Chrome, IE) all fail so I ruled out the browser as the problem
-Also tried reinstalling IE7
-Took a computer home, different ISP, and tried to access site
-Tried starting in safe mode with networking
-Tried accessing the HTTPS site by IP address
-The site is configured to ignore ping requests, but trying a ping resolves its IP address for me
-Used wireshark and able to see the website does send packets back, but IE spins and says waiting for reply
-Tried a netsh winsock reset
-Tried unistalling the LAN Driver, rebooting and reinstalling the it
-Compared computer settings and even IE settings to a working computer, they are the same
-Tried logging in as different user and accessing the site

I've ruled out the router as the problem since some machines can access it.
Also, I don't think I am having a certificate issue as the site is a child domain, and I have the root cert installed
Please Help

i took a CISCO networking class and unfortunately i don't remember much abut it but sounds like you have an external ip problem. if all 20 comps are Trying to access the same site At the same time the server might disallow some computers I wish it was that simple. There are actually two sites that we can't access, but one of them is specifically for me so I am the only person that ever tries to access it.

I just reinstalled the operating system on one of the "non-working" computers and I am able to access the site now.
ALSO, I just booted off my imaged OS that is about 4 months old and I am able to access the site from my "non-working" computer. So I think there is a computer setting, that might be causing this problem...maybe an old GPO persistant setting or something. Does ANYONE know if this could be the case, if so what setting? It would have to be a registry fix most likely; reg cleaner was not help.

Well I solved my own problem after a week of troubleshooting. This forum was my last stop so don't you think this was an easy find.
My problem was that TLS/SSL RENEGOTIATION was disabled. Some HTTPS sites require it and those are the sites I could not access.

In more detail: if by some strange reason someone else has this problem....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\DisableRenegoOnClient

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\DisableRenegoOnServer

Notes:
If the DisableRenegoOnClient subkey is present and has any nonzero value:
The client will not initiate renegotiation.
The client will not respond to renegotiation.

If the DisableRenegoOnClient subkey is missing or is present and has a zero value:
The client will initiate renegotiation.
The client will respond to renegotiation.

If the DisableRenegoOnServer subkey is present and has any nonzero value:
Server initiated renegotiation is not allowed.
The server will not respond to renegotiation requests from the client.

If the DisableRenegoOnServer subkey is missing or is present and has a zero value:

Thanks allVery interesting snufles and thanks for the update.

Try unplugging the pc that works from the router and plug the pc that does not work in to the same PORT and see if it starts working please. If it does not start working try a reboot while it's plugged in. Let us know what HAPPENS then please.

Thanks,

when ever im browsing the internet i get random DISCONNECTS i know this because it on google chrome browser its says : RESOLVING HOST

and i know i still have internet because i am on a video chat with my girlfriend..

the thing is the all my browsers get disconnected even though the computer still has internet...

is there a solution to this?? ITS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING


Thank you..Disabling the 'use DNS prefetching' in the option menu's "under the hood" tab may HELP. This should solve the resolving issue.

If not, CHECK your proxy SETTINGS. If your not using a proxy, click on "Lan Settings". Make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is un-checked. Click "Ok".

Final check if still no LUCK:
Start > Settings > Control Panel. Load up the "Network Connections". You will now see a list of the network cards and bridges on your computer. Only one of these is used by your computer to connect to the internet. For example, if you are using wireless internet you will only be using the wireless connection. Right click on each other connection and select "disable". You should only have one enabled connection.

Hi Guys!

Iam using the latest among Betas of Maxthon browser 3.0.11.8! The 'Options' are grossly inadequate as I have literary nothing to configure & cutomize!?

On pressing the 'Home Page' button; NEW tab opens up...& pleothra of other issues!

Refer to attached screenshot & help if anything is possible...

[RECOVERING disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]1. A beta is not a full release. It may be buggy and have limited configuration choices. Maybe you did not know this.
2. You don't have to end every sentence with an exclamation mark.
3. If you want a configurable browser try Mozilla Firefox.

Saurabhdua, this is a beta version of maxthon 3, and the DEVELOPERS have already confirmed that it is STILL a work in progress and is not a complete browser with the features all in 'cuz it's still a work in progess.

Use maxthon 2 or a different browser if you want the features you are LOOKING for at the moment.Ya, but then I have never seen a 'Beta Product' ever that is stripped down to such an extent!(Sorry Salmon, can control everything else other than putting an exclamation mark! )

& certainly Salmon, Hope needs to amend the existing 'Checks n Rules' to put an end to frequent !!

***Query:: Is there a download site dedicated to just offering alphas, betas & RCs of forthcoming stable softwares?

Good Afternoon,

I received an email from MS Outlook containing an attachment which was a .vsd file (Visio). My Problem is this, I am able to preview the file using visio previewer, but when I want to open the file completely using Internet Explorer, the browser opens and has a red X in the corner.

Ive tried using internet options doing numerous troubleshooting using the advanced tabs and security tabs but I STILL cannot fix this issue.

can someone assist?

Thanks
LeoHi there LEO,

Can you download the file to your desktop? If so download it and then right click on it, choose open with and select internet explorer. This will identify internet explorer as the PROGRAM that will open such a file.

Try that and let us know how you get on please.

Rgds,
MMHi again,

I meant to say that if the above does not work and if you have used it like this in the past then scan the registry. You'd be looking for any file association errors.

I've just not had much of a chance to get on much of late so I'm just looking and trying to help the ones that had no resolution. Sorry for trying to assist people. If you both have something to say to me then you can both pm me instead of getting your own post counts higher.

I don't know what's wrong with my internet explorer. I am running windows XP Pro. I have service pack 2. Using IE 6.0. Everytime I try to download something, it won't let me, it won't show me any type of error message or anything, it just won't do it. I click on the download message and it just won't do anything, same thing if I have a file on my e-mail to be downloaded. it just won't let it. ALSO if I cannot right click, I usually right click to copy and paste either text or images. I can't save images, because it won't let me, not even copy and paste with the key board shortcuts. But is not my computer because when I open Office or any other document software, I can do it just fine. it's just when it's internet related. Also If I am trying to upload an IMAGE let's say using yahoo mail, I need to BROWSE it and upload the image but it won't let me even get the file. PLEASEEEEEEEEE SOME ONE HELP MEEE!!!!!!
at first I thought it might be the settings so Iclicked everything to default but nothing, then I thought it might be McAfee antivirus and the SECURITY system but I uninstalled it and still the same. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maykel Farronay........ What had you D/L just before this STARTED ?

I'm a total COMPUTER novice, so please excuse my ignorance. A couple of days ago when I powered on my computer it told me I needed to enter the number contained on my Windows 98 booklet. I've had this computer for 5 years so I thought this was weird, but I entered the number and was able to use the computer. The next day when I TURNED it on I got an "Explorer" error box. My only choice was to click "CLOSE" but when I did this nothing happened. None of my programs started, none of my icons came up, I couldn't even see the mouse cursor. I tried rebooting but got the same Explorer error. I even started in safe mode and the same error came up. So basically, I can't access anything on my computer. Can anyone help or has my computer had it? Here are the details for the error message:

I ran a virus scan and spyware scan too. I PROBABLY either removed something that I NEEDED or didn't delete something I needed to. I never know what stuff to delete and what stuff to KEEP...also, I like to play games on pogo.com, and where there are advertisements, it says "Action Canceled" and when I try to play a GAME, the advertisement just sits there loading, but the game never POPS up.

Hi,

Some time ago (WAY back) I installed an add-on for IE toolbar styles. This, over time has disappeared and I am stuck with a walnut type effect which is gross. How can I change the look of my toolbars? Is there something I can DOWNLOAD to correct it?Reinstall the plugin... Also, just for your information... Your avater isn't working...

[GLB]Flame[/glb]That was the problem, the plug in. It's an IE VER 5 plug in that WORKS in ver 6 which I had totally forgotten about.

Thanks for the info on avatar!!What version of IE are you using?
