    - Can Only Open IE W/O add-Ons Hi: I have a friend who can only open his Internet Explorer W/O Add-Ons. Regardless of clicking on desktop icon or iexplore.exe file Internet Explorer opens without add-ons. Naturally in this mode when he tries to access Manage Add-ons it is grayed out. He is running IE version 7.0.5730.13. How can he access and open Internet Explorer with Add-ons? Thanks, ColTom2 Tag: hi Tag: 403121

    - change proxy server programmatically Hi, I have Windows XP and IE7/6/5 and I need to have some programmatic way of changing the proxy server (anything will do from scripting to IE addons to a third party application). The key here is that I need the proxy change to take place immediately without closing and restarting IE (if you could restart IE it's very simple - just change the corresponding registry key). That's the problem - I mustn't restart it. :) Any kind of solution or hint would be appreciated. I know some people directed me to IE7 Extension Development forum and I'm thankful for that. I'm fishing for some more solutions/locations. Any other web resource / forum which might be helpful in this respect would be really appreciated. Cheers :) Tag: hi Tag: 403105

    - IE 7 freezing Hi i've been experiencing this problem for some time. Whenever I apply changes to the internet options file in IE 7 the app freezes and it closes unexpectedly citing a rundll32.exe failure. I've tried reinstalling IE 7 but that just creates the problems of not being able to change the homepage from "en.us.acer.yahoo.com" which auto redirects to "acer.yahoo.com". When I do that it solves the problem of Internet Options not freezing up, but creates an even more annoyying problem. How can I get ie 7 to stop freezing in internet options and let me carry out what I want to do Tag: hi Tag: 403094

    - Frontpage Action I am still using IE 6 on one computer running W2K and IE7 on a computer running XP Home. I publish several web sites and have used "Hover Buttons" for linking locally in the site. Neither IE 6 or IE 7 will actually go to the link. When I visit the same site with FireFox there is no problem and the link immediately is established with the hyperlink associated with the Hover Button. When I use either IE browser and hover over the Hover Button the selected highlight color is shown glowing as it is supposed to. This feature used to work a while back. I do not remember how long ago it did work but it has been numerous 'upgrades' and 'security fixes' to IE in either flavor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ken Tag: hi Tag: 403093

    - homepage I have IE7, but have a problem getting rid of an unwanted homepage that keeps coming back no matter what I've tried. It's titled: http://www.searchnut.com/?domain=awesomehomepage.com. I changed Internet Options numerous times back to MSN, but it returns next time pc is started. Could not find it in Control Panel, or in Programs. I do not appreciate what it shows. Windows Defender has been active well before it showed up, as well as Windows Malicious Remover is ran once every few weeks. Will reinstalling IE7 cure this problem ?

    - IE Enhanced security Terminal Server In a Terminal Server environment, users that are not in the Administrators group cannot access most sites, such as www.google.com, www.microsoft.com. If the same user is made a member of Administrators they can get these sites from the same user profile. Once they are removed from the Administrators group, thay can no longer access the same sites (returns DNS Not Found) I have followed all the fixes in KB908784 which addresses a Server that was slipstreamed without Sysprep but our server was not built by cloning and after still applying the remedies the simptoms prevail. Checked for hijacks and nothing suspicious. The only clue I have is a breif dialogue refering to HARDENIE that quickly disappears. Tag: hi Tag: 403080

    - *** IE redirect to new page with named anchor I'm having an issue that I can only produce in IE I develop web sites using Cold Fusion, Perl, etc. and discovered a problem that I can reproduce in IE (6 | 7) on IIS or Apache, with any language. If I redirect (302) to any page targeting a named anchor, #top, IE thinks that the named anchor is part of the page URL and any other click to local named anchors forces a page reload. Example: In the following page, I've created a window.onunload() to alert('Unloading...'); to detect the reloading. http://www.blueletterbible.org/dan.html Navigating to named anchors works as desired. This simple script redirects you to that same page, but anchored to the first, #1, named anchor. http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/dan.pl If you follow any local named anchors, you'll see IE reloads the page as if it were navigating to a new document and then all is normal again. By altering the script to only redirect to the page, with no anchor, everything works as desired. I can produce the same problem with Cold Fusion or any other language regardless of the platform of the web service or the browser. It only happens to me with IE and not other tested browser. Is this a known issue and are there any decent work arounds? No, not using named anchors as a target of redirection is not a work around for us. -Dan Tag: hi Tag: 403066

    - urlmon.dll error causes IE shutdown. (not KB 942615) urlmon.dll error causes IE shutdown. It's not KB 942615 (I don't have this one installed) The point is that this is not deterministic error... sometimes it occurs, and sometimes it does not (on the same page). It's not dependent on PC configuration because it occurs on many different PCs. It can depend on html/css/js code, but I'm not sure how. Info: iexplore.exe, v. 6.0.2900.2180, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, urlmon.dll, v. 6.0.2900.2823, address 0x00039e9a. cookies: clear; temporary: clear; Any suggestions ?

    - Outlook Express Email Receiving Problem Someone in my address book all of a sudden is having problems sending emails to me. It just started about a month ago. Following is the message they receive: "Your message was not delivered because the destination computer was not reachable within the allowed queue period. Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not have a mail system running right now." What is strange is that some emails from the person are received and some are not. Is it a firewall or spyware protection program that is interferring? I currently have the email scanning feature turned OFF on the Norton Protection Program installed which came free with my AT&T DSL service. I use Outlook Express 6, operating system is Windows XP. -- K. Christiansen Tag: hi Tag: 403045

    - Why is my URL being changed. I have an entry in my host file that addresses a server using the server name ("Athena"). When I type this into my browser (http://athena), the default web page for this server renders correctly (the IP in the host file is Internet accessible). However, I have found that there is one physical location that I visit that has given me access to their wireless internet and when I type http://athena into my web browser it changes to www.athena.com, which I do not want. Does anyone know what would cause this different behavior? Tag: hi Tag: 403044

    - Mp3s downloading as mpegs I'm a web designer and have just started having a strange issue with IE 6 and 7. Anytime I try to download an mp3 file from the web, it saves it as an mpeg movie file and only gets part of it at that. I can't figure it out. It seems to do that on various people's computers, not just mine. I have one client that it does the same thing but another that can download fine in IE. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this to happen? Its a recent occurance and I'm not sure if its asscoiated with a recent update or not. Here is one page in particular that I've been struggling with: http://www.saveourtrain.com/song There is a link in the middle to the mp3. But i tested other mp3's and all do the same thing. Thanks!

    - IE 6 hangs after XmlHttprequest for 5 minutes Hello, i have a ajax-webapp (prototype.js) which works without any problems with IE (also 6.0), FireFox, Opera etc.. Now I have a single client (W2K, IE 6.0.2800.1106, SP1) who has a strange problem. Every time, the client sends an async.-POST-xmlhttprequest, IE sends the request succesfully after 5 minutes - i don't know, what IE does during this 5 minutes. For test you can visit https://www.schuldenonline.at/connection and make a single request or send multiple requests. Besides: I know there are problems when using SSL, IE 6.0 and the parameter "keep-alive". Therefore the connection after every request will be closed. Can anyone help me to find out what the reason for this strange behavior is? Thanks Ludwig Pfefferkorn IE 6 hangs after XmlHttprequest for 5 minutes Tag: hi Tag: 403037

    - Why are cookies stored in 2 different places on PC-Windows XP Home Have Windows XP Home, SP2. Running IE6 on one P and IE7 on another. I never log on to administrator account and only log on to an account called HOME. I am a home user I have a program that cleans out various files and folders..called "IE Privacy Keeper" but of course such a program and most programs cannot delete index.dat files. Only can delete them on bootup in a bat file or by other means (while not in Windows). But that is another bag-o- worms entirely... Anyway I notice that on both my machines cookies are stored in two places and do not know why. One place: C:\Documents and Settings\Home\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files (stored in here with bits and pieces of web sites for faster loading) Other directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Home\Cookies Thanks for any insight as to why they are stored in both places and what determines this...

    - "Auto Detect Settings" taking a long time on some clients We run a proxy.pac file which location gets issued to users via DHCP option 252. All of our clients run XP SP2 and IE6 and the DHCP and IIS servers are running 2003 R2. NB: WE DON'T RUN ISA The proxy.pac file is fairly basic, where it matches the clients IP and directs it to the proxy servers. We have 400 clients. It has been running for 18 months without any issues until recently. Some clients (maybe 10) have started getting 30-60 second delays when starting IE with "Detecting proxy settings". Eventually it works fine and we can see the users browsing session on Webmarshal. Does anyone know why all of a sudden we have started to get these delays? Tag: hi Tag: 403031

    - Windows XP w/ SP3 crashing IE Hello, I've taken possession of a PC with XP Pro SP3 v 2382 on it. 4 time out of 5 when I start IE, it will crash. I have upgraded Flash to 9e, but that didn't solve anything and have now disabled it. Now 3 times out of 5 IE crashes. I have set the home page to blank, so that it atleast starts (the home page was set to MSN and it crashed often). But it still can crash on the odd web page. Help needed. I haven't checked which updates are on the machine - but I think the core issue is SP3. Any tips to diagnose and resolve. Thanks, Salik. Tag: hi Tag: 403029

    - Cookies and Internet Privacy I have a concern regarding cookies and internet privacy. I have IE set to accept first party cookies & session cookies, but to reject 3rd party cookies. From what I understand if I reject all cookies, many websites won't interact well. Is it true that any website I visit can read ALL of my cookies? This would mean that they could access my name, usernames and other information I typed into other websites. What is the best strategy to balance security with usability when it comes to cookies?

    - Experiencing long pauses doing any internet stuff Hello. Windows XP Pro, SP2, IE 6.0 Mcafee Security Suite with all latest windows/office/software updates, service packs and patches. Whenever i try to do anything involving internet, i get these long pauses(about a minute or two) between web sites or internet activity. I tried most of the malware/virus fixes suggested in this forum. I have this one program called Magic Mail Monitor. It shows me what my emails are on the mail servers. When i start it, it takes an inordinate amount of time to get all of the emails. It spends a lot of time saying "Sending TOP Request". It takes a good 2 to 4 minutes for it to get all of the emails. I have MMM running on other computers on the same network and when i start it, BAM! the emails popup instantly. That leads me to believe that it is something with just this one computer. It really makes me mad because this computer has the fastest megahertz rating of all the computers on our network and it's the newest. It should be fast. It doesn't seem to have that problem when running local software. Does anybody have any idea of what i can do to eliminate those long pauses? I tried just about everything. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks, Tony Tag: hi Tag: 402955
