    - can't view videos I have Win XP SP2, IE 7. When I try to view most videos (not all -- Youtube usually works), all I get is a green window. I thought this had something to do with security settings, but maybe not, since lowering them doesn't help. When I first got this computer (Toshiba laptop), I had no problem, but the problem goes back to before taking on IE7.

    - ALLOW users to be able to remove ugly favorite stars. You need to allow users the to be able To REMOVE those ugly stars that link to favorites on the command bar.. The only way i found out to do this is add CommandBar to the registry. and disable it that way, but then you cant use Tab browsing or they will still show up.. So I Like tab browsing, but HATE the favorite stars.. So I would reather use FireFox So I get what I want, Instead of whats forced, People like control and customization and if they cant find what they want here, they will go were they can.. I know others feel this way also just search the web, and what could it hurt by making it an OPTION instead of forcing users to have it on the front page. is there any other tweaks to remove them?? If not, I would suggest maybe adding this as a feature to the next update.. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Suddenly getting Security errors and connection problems. I installed a second NIC into my compuer the other day, and ever since, I've been having troubles with my connection. In IE 7 as well as firefox, I'm getting certificate errors and "Server Certificate not yet valid" errors whenever I try to go to sites like Gmail.com, Facebook.com, even Hotmail.com. I've also noticed that I can't connect to MSN / WLM, and I can't post to newsgroups using Outlook Express. I figured the problem was with the second NIC, so I removed it, but that fixed nothing. I tried a system restore to two weeks ago, and still nothing. Can anyone help? \Also, I tried running without any firewalls whatsoever, and still nothing. This only seems to be affecting my computer, so it's definately to do with my machine. Tag: Internet explorer Tag: 99891

    - ActiveX and Script Error I keep getting ~~~Click to run ACTIVEX control for this webpage. This will happen when I open many different webpages. Some are fine. Most give me this. And it doesn't happen just once. I get the same popup like 4 times for each time I open the page. Then........after I open the page and start to scroll or even click on a link or even refresh a page, i get this error Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. yes no I don't understand or get why this does this. I depend on speedy internet browsing because I am a work at home mommy. I need this to run smooth and speedy in order to get the numerous tasks done on a daily basis. It is causing me so much disgust that I opt to most of the time just shut my damn computer off and walk away. I have even gotten a migrane trying to research and solve this problem. PLEASE HELP!!! This only started to happen after I downloaded the new IE7. Then I reverted back to 6..........and it still was causing me problems. So now I am back with 7.....and honestly..........I would almost rather have old dial up and popups than deal with this headache. Tag: Internet explorer Tag: 99885

    - IE7 Clumbsy Favorites List Hi Group, In IE7, when I point to the bottommost or topmost displayed item in my favorites list, it does not automatically scroll the remaining items into view like in IE6. How can I turn on that behavior? Also, how can I make subfolders in my favorites list fly out to the side? I don't like having everything stacked vertically because my list of favorites is about 30 screens tall. And I don't like the fact that expanded subfolders remain expanded after visiting my favorites list. How can I changes these behaviors to be more conducive to the way I am accustomed to working?

    - Do not save encrypted pages to disk I'm interested in details about option "Do not save encrypted pages to disk", and disk cache in general. IE supports several protocols for data gathering: http, https, ftp, gopher,... When retreived via https, data is decrypted in order to be displayed in browser. In that case, automatic cacheing mechanism saves ENCRYPTED pages into special folder "Temporary Internet files", right? Is there a way to observe encrypted pages in that cache, or only those that were not encrypted, or were decrypted (if these are saved that way there at all)? If pages are cached for performance reasons, wouldn't it be reasonable to save them decrypted, in order to avoid decryption overhead? Security issue for saving confidential data to disk exists in any case, unauthorized user may use brute force method to decrypt files if he has unrestricted access to them and is willing to do that. And that's what observed option is used for, to avoid saving confidential data to disk, if retreived over secure link? Is there the same policy for all file types (extensions) regarding that matter? What was the exact MS's intention, which IE behaviour to control with that option? It namely affects conscious, intended saving initiated by user too (using option "Save Target As...", "Save As..."), it affects viewing the page source, export of data etc. In version 7 it is regular behaviour that this option has to be turned off to enable this actions, which by the way are used to save or access DECRYPTED data, definetly. In lower versions, at least in most of their updates, it is even not possible to save non html content (for example xml) retreived via https, regardless of this option setting, because of an obvious bug. In MS knowledge base there is a workaround for this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323308/en-us which suggests that when there is "no cache" directive in http response header, received over SSL, BypassSSLNoCacheCheck registry entry should be added. Otherwise, "download is not possible". On the other hand, if the original intention was to control automatic cache, if IE user is not aware of that it is necessary to delete cache when downloading confidential data, will he be aware of, or able, to check/set this option in IE on a public work station, to protect himself from undesired file saving? Are there any issues in version 7 with a disk cache? Sometimes I can't delete temporary files, sometimes when I delete them, nothing is saved anymore. I never experienced such things in version 6.

    - Outlook 2003 email print scale! One of my customers have installed IE70 on all clients. Sadly they now have printing problems in Outlook 2003. First of all they had problems printing the mail headers on some email. This I fixed by installing the hotfix addressing this issue on all clients. But they still have a problem printing some emails. IE70 somehow scales the print of some emails so that the font gets very small, almost unreadable. Is there a way to stop IE70 from doing this? I know of the workaround (hit forward and print the mail), but it would be nice if this is not needed and if printing from Outlook 2003 could be as sweet as before IE70 was installed :) Thanx in advance.

    - How do I organize my favorites in IE 7 Somebody fell onto the stupid wagon when it came to organizing the faborites in IE 7. You had it much more correct in IE 6 and then took a left turn with IE 7 and totally screwed it up. PLEASE go back to the IE 6 method. In IE 6 I could drag and drop a URL from the address bar (very nice feature) now I have to click the darn add to favorites icon, drill down to the folder and then click add - this is totally stupid! Now to organize the darn favorites I have to click on the darn add to faviorites icon, select the option to organize and in a small almost unusable window I have to find things and then take the desired action. Again stupid, stupid, stupid!!!! PLEASE put the IE 6 function back. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Uninstall IE 7.0 Beta 2 (7.0.5296.0) Hello. I installed IE 7.0 beta 2 (build 5296) during the beta period. Unfortunately now I cannot remove it. I have tried everything without luck. I do not have IE 7.0 or anything similar in the add/remove programs applet. I also cannot install the public version of IE 7.0 on top of this beta. Does anyone know how I can remove this beta? I am thinking that if I can find the original beta (same build), I can install again then try uninstalling. Unfortunately I cannot find the original beta online either.

Kind of annoying that I can't flush my dns without running as administrator - but who care.. My problem is and this is really annoying me.. The other morning IE stopped working properly.. Javascript will no longer work - any page that has anykind of javascript will no display properly.. even a simple 'alert('ff'); won't open. I get no error message or anything - its like Javascript is not executing. I tried restoring to a pervious version - but I don't have any. I reset all of IE settings back to default and still no luck.. Then I changed all IE settings to low security on everything and same problem. Reset everything back to default and still no luck! Everything works fine in Firefox - what do I need to do to make IE work again?! Can i just reinstall IE7 somehow?!!!! I'm at my wits end - I'm a developer and I don't have time to be screwing around like this - if I can't get this to work I will revert back to an XP license. Tag: Internet explorer Tag: 99831

    - IE7 crashes immediately on searching My wife has IE7 on her XP Home PC. It's apparently been OK since she upgraded from IE6 a couple of weeks ago, but today she has a serious problem. As soon as she starts any search, IE7 closes immediately. No message, nothing. The search was set to LiveSearch when I first saw the problem. I changed default to Google, but that hasn't helped. I cannot help by trying to reproduce the problem on my XP Home PC, as I have IE6, not IE7, as I use Firefox as my browser. Hope someone can help us isolate and fix please.

    - Major Alert IIS 6.0 Admin and Media Srv Sites inaccessible with IE After a fresh install of 2K3 Enterprise and IIS the Admin Sites could be browsed with a right click in the left IIS-MMC Admin console as IE 6.* was also installed at that time. access via the default SSL ports were not a problem until I began updating, all XML and ASP.NET, J#, SunMicro's Java Runtime which later updated itself to ver 11 from ver 6, and of course IE7. Not quite sure what the offending Pkg or update is, but this is the redirect page text.....silly isn't it (No Netscape is installed on my machine). Either windows update downloaded the runtime or a built in updater in java ver 6 made the update to ver 11. Browser not supported The Windows Media Services Web Administrator requires Netscape version 5 or later. You are currently connected using: Browser: Netscape Version: 4 You must upgrade your browser before continuing. Click here to download the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above just doen't make any sense, if it requires Netscape then why is it providing a link to get the latest IE browser and detecting a non-existent Netscape? Specifying the correct path in an open browser does the same as right clicking in the "browser paine in the ISS" console for the Admin sites. Either installation of IE7 is the cause of this or one of the other updates is the cause. It is an IT Administrative Nightmare if this is the case because every server running IIS 6.0 with IE7 on 2K3 will or could be administratively innaccessible, or offline, or even wiped, as the Admin site got wiped out after uninstalling the updates I noticed the Admin site was gone. Will post more info as available, I'm currently preparing for reinstallation of IIS and IE7, then other updates, and if neccessary the OS to determine the cause of this. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - IE7 (Vista 32 bit) Can't/Won't open MPG/MPEG Files I'm running Vista Home Premium (32-bit) and installed a codec pack to try and improve on Vista's ability to play certain video files. After installing, IE7 will no longer open any links for MPG or MPEG files. Other file formats seem to open the media player just fine as usual. I uninstalled the Codec pack (Vista Codec Pack) but that didn't help. The actual MPG Codec is fine as files play with no problem directly from the media player (WMP 11) if d/l'd first, and they also open/play fine from Firefox. When clicking on a link that I see the following: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address. " I've tried making sure that the file associations are correct, checked my proxy settings, made sure Internet connections was checked in Media player, etc all to no avail. I've also checked and the codecs are installed in WMP. I've also googled this until my eyes bled - no help. How can I make IE remember how to open an MPG/MPEG file?

Still get CONTINUE button problem in Firefox and Opera, and still can't use WYSIWYG editor in IE6, IE7, or MSN Explorer. All of this was tried with using XP firewall only (no Norton firewall or antivirus, or any anti-malware enabled: they were shutdown prior to troubleshooting). It looks like an IE scripting problem. Does Firefox and Opera use IE's scripting engine?

    - Problem with Internet Explorer 7 page does not finish Could anyone advice me: the page www.ink-company.co.uk is supposed to show a picture above the text. It does show this picture in Internet Explorer 6 and on Explorer on my mobile device. Why not in no. 7? In the bottom bar it shows only "(6 items remaining) Waiting for http://www.ink-company.co.uk." Nothing happens. It does not show that there is a picture at all, the square with the red cross is not there. Tag: Internet explorer Tag: 99736

    - Error message Hello, When I try to open a webpage which has a pdf format, there goes directly an error message and it says that IE has to be shut down. I sent too many error reports but I guess it does not help anything. I can't resolve the problem even if I uninstalled the Adobe Reader then installed it back again. Can you please inform me about this situaiton? Thanks, Vidal Moel Tag: Internet explorer Tag: 99735

    - JUMP or REDIRECT???? HELP PLEASE! I use Google for everything. For the last month or so, I've had a problem with some program. I have no idea if it is a program, what it is called, how to fix it, or where to find it. When I click a listed Search Result in Google, it will not go to the page I requested, but it will 'JUMP' or 'REDIRECT' me to another page. It does this two times before it finally lets me get to the page. It only does it when I click a link. Otherwise, I can get to most websites by typing in the URL... If anyone knows what is going on, please repost here or e-mail me a jdylant@hotmail.com ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED. -Dylan Tag: Internet explorer Tag: 99712
