    - Internet Explorer - Blank Page When I start up my laptop and all components are loaded up, a Blank White Internet Explorer page automatically pops up, regardless of what program or application I'm trying to open. The blank page pops up in front. I then have to bring up the Task Manager (Ctrl, Atl, Delete) and select end task for Blank Page Internet Explorer, to close the page and continue. How do I disable this page from popping up every time I boot up my laptop? Tag: IE& restarts when I click in a search bar Tag: 146311

    - transfer from xp to vista using pc mover A couple of months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Vista. I used PC mover to transfer all data from my Dell Inspiron 5100 running XP to the 1720. Now I believe I have updates and hotfixes from my 5100 on my 1720. Does anyone know if I can delete them? Or will deleting them cause me more problems than I already have. 1. Cannot download or install most updates, some do get through. 2. Cannot create restore point. 3. Cannot uninstall programs. 4. Cannot install upgrades from a CD. 5. Currently disabled windows firewall, and deleted McAfee. No other firewall as far as I can tell. Any comments and/or help will be appreciated. -- opalocka Tag: IE& restarts when I click in a search bar Tag: 146268

    - IE Standards Conformance Dear Microsoft people, please, I am begging you, please make the Internet Explorer conform to all the WC3 standards soon. Up to now your browser is still giving me a huge headache every time I develop a new web page. It's very (very!) frustrating that 50% of all development time for an arbitrary html page is lost making this page work on IE after it already works on all the other browsers out there. Just to get the point right: I develop it once and it works on all the browsers just like that, except on the IE. And for the IE I have to practically redevelop it and confuse all my clean code. This has to stop somewhere. I am begging you. Please address this. If you're concerned about backwards compatibility, which you should be, I suggest that you make IE 8 and 9 fully backwards compatible with previous versions by default. However, programmers should get the possibility to set a flag for each HTML page by which IE is switched to something you might call "WC3-Mode". In that mode, IE should behave like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and all the other standards conformant browsers. I mean, I don't need your competitors to make my point. The point is: Just conform to the standard, PLEASE! I beg you again! Please address this soon. The Internet is full of pages about IE bugs. (Example: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html) Why haven't you been doing much about it in the past? Please do it now! Fix these bugs and inconsistencies with the standard. Thank you very much in advance. T.L. (from Germany) ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Favorites I'm using Vista Ultimate along with LiveCare for my virus and firewall with IE7. I noticed that there have been some posts concerning the following issue: "The target "" of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct." What I read in these posts is that the people experiencing this problem were using XP along with Antivir. I assumed that AntiVir was a name for a specific antivirus program. Does anyone have a solution for this since the posts on here were in 9-2007 and here we are in 3-2008 with Vista and LiveCare users? -- jbbeaird Tag: IE& restarts when I click in a search bar Tag: 146264

    - Find on this page as default search provider I review articles on websites and quite often I search the page I am currently on for keywords. I would like to set "Find on this page" as my default search provider so I can just use the search field up at the top of IE to look for keywords within the article instead of clicking on the down-arrow and selecting "Find on this page". Has anyone out there accomplished this? Thanks in advance, Jim Tag: IE& restarts when I click in a search bar Tag: 146262

Shows blank screen or area on page where it should be. NOTES: * These two problems are not related. I had the first problem for several months before the second problem. * I have re-installed the Flash player and have installed all the updates. * I have run Microsoft Update and have installed all available updates. * System Restore did not work either.

    - Images on IE on top of one another hello, I have IE7 on an xps420 that is about 3 months old. The problem I have is that on some websites the images overlap, or words will overlap each other etc. I updated my video card drivers just in case, but no dice! I am running vista home premium. At first I thought it was a problem with vista, but I used another pc with vista about a month ago, and didn't have the same issue! any suggestions! is there a name for this? I was trying to find some info, bc I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to, but didn't know the best keywords to search with! Thank you, Luis PS I don't know which this would fall under, but when I open a pdf acrobat reader document through IE I cannot print, save or change pages throught the toolbar. any ideas on this one!

    - font & Text size - IE7 1) There seems to be no way to change text size and have it "stick" so that subsequent page will show the same size text. The default seems to be "medium" with no way change it and make it stay changed. Can this apparent defect in IE7 be repaired? 2) I recently suffered a crash. Since re-installing, the "Rockwell" font no longer appears when the FONT button is clicked under "Internet Options". How do I fix this? jcgiglio@att.net I know about spam; that's what the DELETE key is for. I've had experience with this newsgroup before, involving Windows Update.

    - IE7 Returns HTTP 400 errors and "Cannot display webpage" messages New installation of MS WXP Pro with SP2, NIS 2008. The machine connects to the Internet, the IPConfig /All looks right, MS Messenger connects, as does e-mail. Yet IE7 yields an HTTP 400 error or "cannot display the webpage" on every attempt to connect to a web page but the first one. Meaning - if I Reset IE7 settings in Internet Options I can connect to the Microsoft.com home page, but can NOT click on any link from there. I cannot at any time open WindowsUpdate nor MicrosoftUpdate. Other web pages fail too. All MS Updates were installed earlier this month, NIS 2008 appears to be updating fine and has the most current version of its updates - from the best that I can tell. All scans are clean. Can someone give me some clues on what I can do short of reinstalling the O/S? Thank you. Tag: IE& restarts when I click in a search bar Tag: 146214

CHM help files are located on shared folder and IE is unable to open them from that shared folder but if i copy them to my local pc they are working well. So i am afraid it is some security issue.

I tried to edit registry and added UrlAllowList to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions ...but with no result. Please help me solve this issue.

    - I want to manually enter URL's Here's the problem, when I go to enter in a URL by either copy/paste or type it in, I always supply the http:// and especially https:// and I have noticed that now when I type in the full URL, Internet Explorer 7 also enters in http:// which makes it impossible to get to a website, and it is also the case when I need to get to a https://. I did find a fix for entering a secure site, under Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Languages/ and selecting the box that says Do not add 'www' to beginning, etc. This did fix it so I can enter in https:// and continue to the specified site, but I still cannot manually enter a regular http://. I rather enjoy having full control, and do NOT like automated features so please tell me how I can force IE 7 to allow me to do something so simple as enter a full URL.

    - IE7 not displaying CSS colors My IE7 installation on WinXP Pro has stopped displaying CSS colors - no background colors, CSS font colors are ignored. Short of trying the Reset Internet Explorer settings under Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, is there a setting or registry key that would control this behavior? IE is not totally ignoring CSS; font family designations, layouts, etc., are being displayed. How this happened is a mystery, though I suspect it was related to an installation of the Web Accessibility Toolbar. I was typing in the Google toolbar search box, when my screen redrew without the background and font colors. I can find no related setting in the toolbar - toggling CSS simply toggles the remaining CSS styles that are currently being displayed. I would appreciate any suggestions!

My IE restarts everytime I click in a search bar. Doesn't matter what one,
The live search at the top, or even if I go to google or anything. The
moment I click to type in the search bar, it has a problem and restarts. I
tried running the IE without add-ons, but it does the same thing, except just
closes and doesn't restart. HELP!! this is really getting bad. The only
way I can search is from the address bar right now. My Norton IS doesn't
show anything in a scan.
