Hi Broni, this is what I get... # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an INDIVIDUAL line.

Solve : Internet Explorer 7 COMMENT? |
|
Answer» I thought I would pass this along. I now USE Firefox but my wife STILL uses IE7. IE went BYE bye and would not load so I could not get to the IE tool bar. After UNINSTALLING and re-installing several times, I was about to give up. Someone told me I had to GO to tools/internet options/advanced/RESET. but I couldn't get there. I finally woke up and went the control panel and clicked the internet options icon there and was able to reset IE; problem solved. I hope this helps someone.Thankyou for sharing that with us, hopefully someone will use this experience of yours. |

Solve : What is FireFox? |
|
Answer» What is FireFox and how is it different from Internet Explorer? Maybe you got it free, but it's not free, and never will be. Internet explorer has been offered free since version 3 was released for free to help it compete with netscape. The only requirement now is a windows installation. 98 integrated IE4, 2000 integrated IE5, XP integrated IE6. I see no costs involves here aside from the OS; and if we say that is the PRICE of IE, then we cannot possibly say that Notepad or wordpad or paint or minesweeper or hearts or etc... are free either, since they impose the same requirement for a windows installation (naturally) Unless of course your measuring costs via potential damage due to security vulnerabilities, which are both impossible to predict within a farm's length as well as borderline pedantic. Okay.... THANKS for that (long pieces of) information... That is actually what I meant about it not being free. You can't actually get it for free without a Windows OS.that makes sense- except it only runs on a windows OS anyway- (old mac versions aside)- firefox runs on almost all popular platforms. Since the IE install is part of windows and it only runs on windows, it is essentially free since you would need to buy windows even if it was a SEPARATE product. As an example, if office was included, would we not call it free simply because of that? Or; we could be talking about the WGA cruft they insist on performing when you attempt to download IE7 for example; unfortunately for them, a quick google-search finds many un-WGA required downloads of IE7. (not the latest version sometimes, but it's a workable solution) Not that I even TOUCH IE voluntarily anymore.Hehe.. Look here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/#feature-vsieOne thing I like better about Firefox is that it manages passwords better than IE. That's a convenience; it SAVES a little time.You can even get IE on OS X so yes, I'd consider it freeware. Why you'd want to use either, especially in that combination is beyond me. Cool Thanks Keep the debate going Quote Keep the debate goingWhy ? Are you earning airline miles for posting what's been discussed numerous times ? ? I have to admit i feel much better since you have switched fonts instead of using the red highlighter feature... |

Solve : What's the difference between Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari?? |
|
Answer» Ok, I know this sounds like an incredibly dumb question. I already know that these were MADE from different companies and they each have a diferent style and set-up and blah blah blah whatever. But when it comes down to performance and capabilities, what's the difference? And how come some websites only work with FireFox?Little bit outdated, but pretty good reading here: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005614I USE Firefox most of the time. But also IE, Netscape and SEA Monkey. |

Solve : Problems with new version of FireFox?? |
|
Answer» Are there known problems with the newest two versions of Firefox? Ever since I upgraded, I've had a few problems: DLoad and install Foxit ReaderUninstall Adobe Reader. It's a horrible tool. FoxIt: http://www.filehippo.com/download_foxit/changelog/Hi - tried the Foxit reader instead. That just freezes up when I try to view/download pdf files through Firefox. I just dont think I'm explaining my issue well enough- my fault. I just dont understand why Google Maps and PDFs would not download through Firefox, but they will download through IE. I can't think of any logical reason. The new Firefox has not been nearly as reliable (for me at least) as the last ones, so I'll PROBABLY just reinstall the old version.Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?How much RAM ? How much free space on that HDD ? What type of internet connection ? If .pdf's are locking up 2 different apps you may have other issues...Patio - my computer has 2 GB RAM, 36 GB free on the HD, and a basic cable (512 I think) internet connection. Downloading speed is not an issue when I use IE. Broni - yes, it does seem to work more frequently than in regular mode. I just RAN through it a dozen times- when in Safe Mode, I am more likely to get to the PDF in a timely manner, but I dont always get there. In regular mode, I am getting to PDFs every now and then as well. It's as if my computer is sensitive to NETWORK traffic... (right now, at 1am, not that many people are online) is there a way/reason that the FIREFOX connection is slower or slows itself down during very busy times? That doesnt make sense, but neither does this problem... Your profile may be corrupt. Create new profile, and if it works OK, you can transfer all data from the old one to the new one. Manual: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_FirefoxBroni- I think you are on to something. I created a new profile, and so far things are running smoothly. Google Maps and PDF files load/download normally. Will continue to test, and I'll post my results here shortly. Thanks!Good news Fire fox quit displaying after an update by somebody. I could see it in the task bar but could not get a gui display. I thought XP had gone flaky as it had become less and less functional over the past two years, (Word quit working and it would not let me reinstall.) So I reinstalled Windows and now FF won't even show up in the taskbar on a clean WinXP home install on my Dell Dimension E531 dual core AMD with 3 gig of memory and lots of space on my hard drives. Did Mozilla screw up or did MS disable FF with an update? I have never liked IE and now I am forced to use it or Flock which has a Mozilla engine but it still works. I miss my FireFox! Its high level of functionality an ease of use has me spoiled.grichardt You need to start your own topic. |

Solve : Made a Mistake While Tweaking Firefox? |
|
Answer» Well I have the new Firefox 3 update and I'm new to tweaking Firefox so one of my friends told me that you can make Firefox even faster by giving it a few tweaks. I know that real speed depends on your internet connection, cpu, and etc. and these most of these tweaks just pre-fetch HTML markup and some compress JavaScript and other small files. But I did it anyway......So I went to about:config in Firefox 3 and set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”, set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”, and “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 25. They all work FINE and there is a slight speed INCREASE in Firefox 3 and then a few days ago I got an idea and made a new String called “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set it to zero, the PROBLEM then I realized the new String I made major problem is that websites with lots of pictures takes may refreshes in order to full load the page. So I thought i just delete String but in about:config I can't delete the String!!! Apparently I can delete booleans but I can't delete strings!! Can some tell me how to delete that String? Do I have to edit one of the files in Mozilla Folder, if so what is the file and where is it located?I don't think you can delete About:Config entries... |

Solve : Can't use Twitter? |
|
Answer» I am running IE8 on Windows XP SP3. I have been unable to log in on TWITTER. Every time I TRY to log in I get a message reading "You cannot use the Twitter website without having JavaScript enabled on your web browser. Please re-enable JavaScript and refresh this page." I have checked in Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom Level>scrolled down to Scripting and made sure that both Active Scripting and Scripting of Java Applets are checked. I just did a FRESH reinstall of Windows and I am still having the same problem. Before reinstalling I also tried re-registering the .dll also to no effect. PS my antivirus is Microsoft Security Essentials. Could this be preventing Twitter from running?Java and javascript are different things. |

Solve : What Does This Mean? (Pop-up in Yahoo)? |
|
Answer» I opened Yahoo mail and immediately got this pop-up. Yahoo says it is: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/technical/browser-06.htmlIf so, it's the first case of Flash use I've SEEN where you can't determine that Flash is being used by right clicking on a part of the page where Flash is in use. For example, right click on any web page ad based on Flash and you'll see the version of Flash Player stated in the right click menu. I can see that Yahoo! Mail often places Flash-based ads on the Mail page. But, I can't see any indication Flash is actually in the Mail functionality. Can someone shed some LIGHT on this? Quote from: soybean on August 17, 2011, 01:51:31 PM If so, it's the first case of Flash use I've seen where you can't determine that Flash is being used by right clicking on a part of the page where Flash is in use. For example, right click on any web page ad based on Flash and you'll see the version of Flash Player stated in the right click menu.Yeah, you're right. Even if it was embedded using a script or other method it would still could up as Flash on right clicking. Quote from: kpac on August 17, 2011, 08:20:17 AM Maybe it's geo-located? Because the Irish version definitely doesn't use Flash. Possibly the US version does...It must be, because the link says US. It's TERRIBLE Most of the time when clicking on saved folders, it won't display emails, page refresh doesn't work. Clicking on the Yahoo Toolbar "Mail" will then allow folder contents display for a while. This occurs in IE8 & FF on different computers. It was beta for a while until it went final a month ago, now no choice. This is the worst Yahoo email "upgrade" ever.It's Javascript, can be changed back to Classic. http://www.techtip.org/how-to-switch-back-to-yahoo-classic-mail/ For FIREFOX: Open TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> CONTENT, click on "DISABLE JAVASCRIPT". Now hit F5 to refresh the page while you are in Yahoo! email in order to switch back... In the options, click (PERMANENT) to switch back to YAHOO! Classic. DO NOT click the "ONE TIME ONLY" option. IMPORTANT: Turn JAVASCRIPT back ON once you have your "CLASSIC" account back. |

Solve : can't open .doc in firefox? |
|
Answer» I have to USE firefox to ACCESS the blackboard website where my homework is posted. something (an AUTO update or me being less than an expert on computers) caused it to try and open the documents with word 2010 which I don't have. So I tried to change the default program and I accidently changed it to a shrotcut instead of word 2007 itself. Now not only will it not open the documents, but when I right click on it the only options I get are for the link itself (i.e. "copy link location", "save link" etc.) There is no "open with" or save option or anything. My default programs for IE are fine, this is only occuring in FF. Any suggestions??http://kb.mozillazine.org/Changing_media_handling_behaviour |

It looks the same to me. When you CHANGE the insides, nobody notices.I meant it as a good thing, not a bad thing. I want it to look the same. Quote from: Computer_Commando on September 27, 2011, 05:57:33 PM I meant it as a good thing, not a bad thing. I want it to look the same. Either way, I can't pass up an opportunity to link the Old New Thing Apparently Firefox 3.6 is still alive and running. is the old version still any worthwhile using, or why it got updated?For a single change there was no need to bring it to version 7. It could have went to 6.1. What are they up to? Quote from: 2x3i5x on September 27, 2011, 11:17:07 PM Apparently Firefox 3.6 is still alive and running.If you like it, then it's still WORTH using. Of course, Mozilla tries to lead you to the latest version, 7.0. But still, they just released 3.6.23 yesterday. Quote from: 2x3i5x on September 27, 2011, 11:17:07 PM or why it got updated?Do you mean why did they not stay with the OLDER browser design? Probably because they think the new design will keep them more competitive with Google's Chrome. That's my guess. Quote from: 2x3i5x on September 27, 2011, 11:17:07 PM Apparently Firefox 3.6 is still alive and running. MS still updates older VERSIONS of windows well after the release of their successors. (Service packs and whatnot) I SUPPOSE this is pretty much the same idea. |

Solve : Problem with Firefox Toolbar? |
|
Answer» I recently switched from IE to Firefox(which was much much FASTER). I was able to put some individual sites and folders into the bookmarks toolbar across the top of the page. I was playing around with the toolbar and TRIED to REMOVE a "separator" I had put in the toolbar. But when I removed the separator I also somehow removed all the files/folders that were on the horizontal bookmarks toolbar. Also if you right click a toolbar and select "Customize" you get a box full of items and separators which you can drag onto the toolbar. You can also drag things from the toolbox into the box or onto other toolbars. The box has a button at the bottom, "Restore default set".Thanks so much. The "restore default set" did the job!! |

Solve : Occasionally, incorrect characters being outputted? |
|
Answer» This is pretty strange, and I don't really know how to explain it, but I'll try. Sometimes, when I'm typing online, the CHARACTER that appears isn't the character I typed. The relationship between Unicode and HTML tends to be a difficult topic for many computer professionals, document authors, and web users alike. The accurate representation of text in web pages from different natural languages and writing systems is complicated by the details of character encoding, markup language syntax, font, and varying levels of support by web browsers. It might be a Unicode thing. What about Internet Explorer? Same thing? As a workaround, type your text in WordPad or Notepad and the copy and paste to your browser. What happens if you do hit ctrl + shift when the problem occurs? Have you checked the keyboard language settings ? |

Internet Explorer should be on your Programs menu. That's the most logical way to open it if you have no shortcut icon on your Start Menu. Is it not in your Programs menu? It can also be easily moved from there to the Desktop using Drag and Drop... No matter what Win version...I'm using windows 7. I tried as you said but there isn't an "internet connection" listed, just a "network" Quote from: earmic on February 16, 2012, 06:06:48 PM I'm using windows 7. I tried as you said but there isn't an "internet connection" listed, just a "network"You tried as who said? Using the quote feature in the forum often aids communication. And, your statement about an "internet connection" doesn't make sense. Your question is about the internet explorer button, not your internet connection.I tried as transfusion said.Oh boy, we are having some communication problems here, aren't we? Since the images posted by Transfusion are for Windows XP, I'm wondering how you tried to apply them to Windows 7.

I can't find this option anywhere to restore the icon.. how do I do it?"My Computer" is Windows XP terminology. "Computer" is Windows 7 terminology. In Windows 7, right click on Internet Explorer on the Programs menu and select "Pin to Start Menu". That will restore the missing icon. Okay I FOUND it in the "programs". when i select it to be pinned top the start menu, nothing happens. I can however pin it to the task bar.I actually believe he's lost his connection...not an Icon...I can drag it to the desktop as a shortcut, but not the start menu ( the one along the bottom) which is where it always has been.Nevermind everyone, it worked as you said, it was covered up by another icon, many thanks from the old man. Quote from: earmic on February 16, 2012, 06:28:25 PM I can drag it to the desktop as a shortcut, but not the start menu ( the one along the bottom) which is where it always has been.The Start Menu is not along the bottom. Now, I think you mean the Taskbar, not the Start Menu. |

Solve : Can i run ie8 and ie9 both on the same machine?? |
|
Answer» On a Gateway nv59c w/win7-64bit core i3-330m- 4Gb/500Gb can I run more than 1 browser? I would like to run ie8 on my admin acct. but on user acct(s) would like to use ie9. If this is possible can someone let me know the way(s) this could be set up I have never heard of that user accounts using different version. But found this one instead.I read the OP as saying he WANTS two or more user accounts and he wants different default browsers fort the accounts. I have never heard of that user accounts using different version. But found this one instead.That doesn't actually install different versions of IE on a computer. Your reference is describing a way for web page developers to test their pages on different browsers without having all the browser versions INSTALLED on their computer. The tool is called Browser Sandbox and it's online, not on the user's computer. Quote from: Geek-9pm on January 30, 2012, 01:49:31 AM I read the OP as saying he wants two or more user accounts and he wants different default browsers fort the accounts.But, you have not addressed his question about using different versions of IE on the same computer. I'm wondering why banditftw wants to do this. Why not just use IE9? Thanks for the responses ... I'm gonna try and see what happens The reason I WANT two versions of IE is I don't like IE9 and my other user(the boss--know what i mean) wants IE9 and two browsers is cheaper than two machines Thanks Oh, and thanks to the moderator that moved this to the right place for me If you are using WINDOWS 7 Pro or Ultimate run IE 8 inside XP Mode.or you can get a different browser, like avant browser, which uses the IE engine, if you so want to. |

Answer» WEB sites pause then RESET to beginning 60sec+/_ Quote from: gbennett on February 10, 2012, 10:52:49 AM web sites pause then reset to beginning 60sec+/_ Is that a question or a statement. I don't understand it at all. while viewing web site scrolling Thur it the site pauses then returns to beginningThe beginning of what? Websites don't have "BEGINNINGS" (as such) and they don't pause, except in a technical way.

Solve : IE9/Facebook? |
|
Answer» I have IE 9. I can log into Facebook and it's fine.When I click on my games, it goes to a page that wants me to login and the page is blinking and goes from "about:BLANK" in the address bar to "it has the facebook link to my game" here. Sometimes it will POP up and say there is a PROBLEM with IE and has to be shutdown. I did find that one problem is AcroIEHelper.dll_unload, whatever that is. Another problem says APPCRASH, ieexplorer.exe, fault module ntdll.dll. |
