    - Needed Pop Up Window won't Pop up! Greetings. Our business group uses an internet based system for reporting all of our programs. I have two laptops and one desktop. Everything works great on my laptops, but I'm having a problem with the Desktop. The system our group designed uses a 'calendar icon' that you have to click on to pick a date (from the calendar that pops up) that your program took place. Once you click on the appropriate date, the date is populated into the report. However, on my desktop, when I click on the icon, nothing happens! It makes the 'clicking' sound you expect when you want something to open, but it does not. On the bottom title bar it says "javascript" when I hover over the icon. The date cannot be entered manually...you HAVE to click on a date for it to be accpeted...but if the calendar won't pop up...I'm stuck. I'm using Windows XP with all updates current. My desktop is a Dell. I figure it has to be something silly that's set in my internet options, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any input.

    - Address Bar - not clearing My address bar autopopulates with a past entry when I type new addresses that begin with the same letter. I have cleared history, temp files, etc. but it still has an address in the address bar. I can't seem to clear it no matter what. Should I uninstall and reinstall IE 6.0 or is there some virus that imbeds addresses that one cannot delete? Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403523

    - Windows XP AND Internet Connection Sharing - query Hi all I have been using ICS for quite a long while now in my existing network. I have also NOT made any major changes at all to my setup apart from changing/swapping my Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL modem for a new one. However, here is my query: - Internet access generally works fine on my Host PC, however I have noticed that it is intermittent on my Client/2nd PC? For example, I was on the Internet yesterday afternoon on my 1st PC - I wanted to go onto my 2nd one to download something off the Net, and what message do I get? "The page cannot be displayed" Why is this and what causes this to happen? I have got my firewall(s) set up to allow ICS and the WMI service is also running on both computers on the network? The Internet is available on my 1st PC as I am connected to the Net on that PC; sop why is it not available on the 2nd one? I tried to use the Windows XP Netdiag utility to see if it gave any clue as to what is going on, yet I can only use it if I am using an Ethernet modem, and the Speedtouch 330 USB ADSL modem is not Ethernet. I would not need an Ethernet modem as I only use the Net to do light surfing and downloading of my emails. I have also tried to use a new crossover cable as well as a network switch to see if this solves the prolem, yet to no avail. Please advise â?? all responses gratefully received. Regards PS - Is there an IE7 newsgropu that I should be posting this to as this an IE6 Newsgroup? Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403519

    - IE6 auto close on Java application Hi all, I have a Java application running using Tomcat and Linux. When I open it using http using IE6, it works fine. But, only 2 more of my colleague can open it successfully. For the other 6 colleagues, the IE6 simply close. I try to open the Sun Java Console to see what happen. Even the Java Console is closed with the IE6 at the same time. There is no error message at all. Can any one have similar experience and tell me how to fix ? Or, can any one tell me to turn on something to see error message or else ? Here is my config. Linux 2.6.9-34 running with Tomcat (should be 5) and jdk1.5.0_05 PC with Win XP SP2 IE 6.0.2900.2180 JRE 1.4.2_08 Thanks in advance Alvin SIU Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403499

    - Error loading visio generated webpg: 'Attribute only valid on v:im Hi, any help is appreciated with this frustrating problem... Problem: ---------- Received error on some PCs (but not others) when loading a webpage generated by Visio. Error detail: --------------- Error: 'Attribute only valid on v:image' The error occurs at "this.s = docEl.style;" in this section of the webpage... function CViewMgr(convertedImgID, highlightDivID) { ... var docDrawing = frmDrawing.document; if(docDrawing) { this.docDrawing = docDrawing; var docEl = docDrawing.all(this.id); if (docEl) { this.s = docEl.style; Setup of my failing PC: --------------------------------------- Webpage generated from Visio 2003 using VML option Microsoft windows XP SP2 with all important updates. IE6 with all important updates. Windows firewall enabled or disabled. No other firewall software. Symantec antivirus (auto-protect enabled or disabled) Workaround: --------------- Change Visio webpage generation option from VML to JPG (or PNG or GIF). Able to load webpage. Would prefer VML, though, due to zooming features. Comparision with "barebones" PC: ----------------------------------- The webpage CAN be read on a "barebones" PC. This PC has a minumum of applications installed and is used rarely. It includes these same essential applications: Microsoft windows XP SP2 with all important updates. IE6 with all important updates. (no symantec, many other programs not installed) Using the debugger, I can see the barebones PC processes the offending line in the webpage above with no problem. I attempted to match essential settings of the failing PC with this barebones PC. Regretfully, no improvement. The changes included: security settings, internet options, uninstalling microsoft vm, unistalling java, disabling add-ons. Comparison with neighbor's PC -------------------------------------- My neighbor was also unable to load the webpage with the same failure. He has a PC similar to my failing PC.

    - What is causing this IE error? I subscribe to an RSS feed on my My Yahoo page that is a technical info blog. When I click on any of its links, the webpage opens normally, but as soon as it is fully opened I get this error: IE cannot open the internet site http/www.... Operation aborted. At this point I cannot print or save the page even though it is open underneath the error-- all I can do is click on OK, then it closes the page. When I tried printing it quickly with my Avant browser it also made the browser shut down after closing the page. What's up with that? Never saw it before in all my years on IE. What can I do to keep the pages open -- it only happened with this one website. Thanks, pflu Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403490

    - Internet Explorer 6 "The page cannot be displayed" I am having troubles with my browser. My computer (laptop) is connected to my wireless connection, but Internet Explorer will not browse. I have contacted my DSL server, and it was proven to not be their problem. I have contacted Dell, and they ran all tests and found that it is not a hardware problem and they referred me to Microsoft. I have contacted Microsoft, and after their tests, they told me that they cannot do anything because the software version is "OEM". What can I do to regain my browsing capabilities on my laptop computer that is clearly connected?? Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403486

However, I recently have been getting many calls stating that users cannot access those pages. I'm baffled, is this happening because they are using an older version of IE?

    - Strange - Cannot visit only a specific website while others can I have a windows xp sp2 pc at work. All my colleagues can visit http://www.cheu.gov.hk/eng/index.asp But I cannot with my IE7 (all latest service packs installed). I can browse all other websites successfully. Using command prompt ping, my PC can resolve the IP of the website successfully. If I download and use firefox, i can browse that website. My PC has Symantec Antivirus installed with no signs of infection. So I have no idea why my IE7 fails only for this website. I have to downgrade to IE6 to make it work.

    - Frame target does not always work? I have a page with three IFRAME tags, in the classic "menu, banner, content" layout. I use the TARGET attribute of HREF from the menu links to load pages in the content frame. Generally, this works fine, but now and again it just seems to break and starts opening a new window for every link. The links are all static and I can't seem to nail down the cause. Refreshing the frameset causes the links to function correctly again. Any suggestions (apart from "don't use frames")? Thanks. Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403429

    - No access to some popular sites from some PCs Small workgroup of six PCs, small switch connected to broadband router. 1. On some PCs I can access all web sites without problem. 2. On others I can access some sites but not others, e.g. I cannot access www.epson.com, www.msn.com. 3. One of group 2 is a laptop - take it to another site and it works fine. You could say it is IE6 setup /security but point 3. suggests that isn't the case. Anyway, I've been into IE options, advanced tab and clicked on Restore advanced settings. I've also cleared all history. You could say the broadband/router settings are blocking sites but why randomly and anyway some can access but others cannot. It's driving me nuts! Any ideas, please?

    - Browser Is *Slightly* Broken Up until 25-Mar, all was well w/ IE. Using XP Pro, patched up-to-date from WU. No 3rd-party firewall, using Avira AntiVirus Classic and Windows Defender. The browser launches and apparently displays sites normally, until one looks closely. A visit to my bank's website was the 1st indication something was wrong. The text fields used for login didn't render. No blank spot on the page, they simply didn't show up ! Checking out a Microsoft site: (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457078.aspx) The framework of the web page displayed, but the actual content did *not* display. Print Preview of any page displays a blank page that has all of the normal page controls, but is completely unresponsive and can only be closed. Once I realized something was really wrong, I tried to go back to a System Restore checkpoint from a couple of days ago and got some really bad news. The program starts, but the content of the window is never rendered. Apparently, that too relies on IE, which is now broken, therefore System Restore is now completely useless ! Remedy #1, System Restore, no joy. Actually, never attempted. Remedy #2, reloading IE from IE.INF file, no joy. Remedy #3, reinstalling SP2, no joy. Remedy #4, use HijackPro to find IE miscreants. No joy. Nothing unusual found. Remedy #5, installed IE7, no joy. Rendering is still broken ! Can't do a System Restore ! I'm left w/ a single remedy: a fresh install of XP ! I'm in no rush to do that and probably wouldn't be writing this message, if my backup PC hadn't gone down a couple of weeks ago. But even w/ Firefox and Opera on this PC, there are a few things I routinely do that absolutely require a fully-functional IE ! (Can anyone spell System Restore ?) I don't use SR that often, but every once and a while, it's essential. I doubt that anyone can help, but on the off-chance that someone might have encountered a similar issue and resolved it, I submit this message for your consideration. Thanx for your time.

    - Need IE6 ... I need to install IE6 on a machine that is not connected to the internet. Does someone know where I can find a distribution version of IE6? The MS IE6 page only has the IE6 SP1 hot-install version, which stops after not finding an internet connection... 8-( Thx, Neil Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403368

    - Annoying error message when closing IE6 When I close IE6 I get an Application Error. The message is:- The instruction at "0x300ac2e9" referenced memory at "0x00000020". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program. As IE6 seems to work perfectly, getting this error message is simply an annoyance but is there something I can do to cure this?

    - Version Vector I have Internet Explorer 6 sp2 and trying to use a program that requires Internet Explore 6.0 and higher. However my Version Vector did not get updated. So this program thinks it is 5.0 or lower. The browser works, but the registry setting is not correct. I have version 6.01 on CD and on the computer I have 6.2??? and since it is older the CD won't installed. I went to the registry cause in some area it does show the correct version. I used the add/remove - windows component to remove it to install the version I had but there must be more entries that was left behind, so it won't install. I saw on another the entries for the version vector. Can I simply export that entries and import it on the other computer? What to do? Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403313

    - Radio Buttons Displayed in IE I have a problem with radio buttons and check boxes being displayed in IE correctly. The radio buttons and/or check boxes do not display as they should but have either the HTML script or java script being displayed instead. Therefore, you cannot check a radio button or yes/no box to proceed any further within a web-site. Has anyone come across this and do they have a fix? Thanks.

    - IE6 problem causing other 2? (MS WinXP Home SP2; MS Office XP; OE 6; IE 6; Dell Dimension XPS T450MHz Pentium III; AVG Free Version 7.5.503; spybot S&D; ad-aware; cable modem; WordPerfect8; Lexmark Laser printer "Optra E310") Hello, I'm experiencing 3 problems and wonder whether they are related or a result of the IE6 problem? (1) When clicking links in OE to open, it causes my computer to freeze and crash! (2) To open IE takes me up to 4 clicks! (3) It takes 20 seconds or longer to open any files in OE even small 50KB. I created a new identity to see if it resolved this problem but didn't. If you happen to know, kindly help? Thanks so much! Adela Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403300

    - Secondary Window Issues Good Afternoon, I have been having ongoing issues with Internet Explorer 6.0 and secondary windows being blank. I have tried almost 'everything'. I've read all of the MSKB's that associate with this problem, and registered the DLL's that everyone has posted on the internet. Even after re-registering it will break again on several PC's. Re-Registering mshtml.dll resolves the issue every time. I see many posts on how to fix it, but what is happened to where it needs to be fixed multiple times!? We also run a lockdown environment, so users cannot install anything. Does anyone know the source of the issue? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403295

    - Trusted Sites Is it possible to add trusted sites to the toolbar? I don't know if this is a possibility. Also can you unlock the toolbar only for specific buttons e.g. Edit, stop, refresh, home? I would like my users to be able to customize the toolbar, except for trusted sites.

    - Internet Explorer inconsistent launch & display When attempting to launch Internet Explorer 6 from either the desktop icon or from quicklaunch, you briefly receive a hour glass that quickly disappears, the brower does not open on screen. However if you check the Task Manager you will see IEXPLORE.exe has opened and is consuming resources. If you exit the Task Manager (without ending the IEXPLORE.exe process) and return to your desktop, attempt to open the browser again you will see the same behavior, only this time when checking the Task Manager you now have (2) IEXPLORE.exe processes running. If you perform a End Process on the (2) two IEXPLORE.exe and then return to your desktop, you will then be able to open and display the browser. However if you than close that browser and for some reason need to reopen it you return to the previous description of acitivity where the browser does not open and display, and is shown in the Task Manager. This has occured on three different model laptops, all of which had been completely wiped, partitions destroyed, new partitions created and Windows XP Professional w/SP2 installed, all updates applied with the exception of Internet Explorer 7. Appreicate any help if you know of a fix. Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403288

    - How do I prevent flash player download and install? At work, we are still running NT. Unfortunately, one of the servers is Terminal Server so I have a lot of users using it and surfing. Just about every site in the world is using Adobe's Flash Player, but the latest you can have on NT is version 7. All I want to do is prevent Flash from trying to get the latest version for my users. It's a selfish reason: they keep getting error messages, and the server's hard drive keeps filling up with a million copies of FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER.exe in DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES folder. So every now and then, I have to clear out 1 GB of junk from there. I have tried setting IE to disable Install on Demand (Other). I even tried putting 0.0.0.0 download.macromedia.com in the hosts file. I hate Flash, but I know it's used. Any idea how I can prevent this? BTW, the error message users get (regardless of admin or not): Adobe Flash Player ActiveX Setup Failed to install.

    - what option caused links/buttons to not work? I must have set the wrong options in IE6. Now, when I'm in a secure web site, some of the links/buttons do not work -- they don't do anything at all, the icon on the top right corner didn't even blink. However, if I right click on the same link and open in a new window, then the link works. Any idea what option could have caused this? Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403279

    - Friendly name for Digital Certificate prompt Hi, A particular website I visit uses Digital Certificates for logging in. I have 6 different Digital Certificates for the site installed, because I login under 6 different identities for 6 different customers. So, when I visit the site, IE6 presents me with the list of 6 certificates for me to choose which one i want to use. As the digital certificate name is just a long sequence of numbers representing my user ID, it's sometimes difficult to remember which one is which. To help, I've used the "Friendly Name" and "Description" fields of the certificates to add info to help me identify which is which. The problem is, the window that IE6 uses to prompt me to choose a cerificate only displays the name and issuer. To see the friendly name and description I have to go into View Certificate, Details tab, and scroll down to check I have the right one. Is there any way to make IE6 show the Friendly Name rather than just the Name & Issuer in the "Choose a Digital Certificate" box? (Unfortunately I cannot upgrade to IE7 on this machine so I don't know if IE7 does this already.) Thanks! Tag: Clear visited link cache Tag: 403278
