    - IE6 always rejects a particular cookie regardless of privacy/cookie setting I have an embedded system with a web interface. One of the web pages has a small JavaScript program that, when run on IE6, always displays the message that cookies need to be enabled: if (document.cookie.indexOf('asm_session') == -1) { document.cookie = 'asm_session=0'; if (document.cookie.indexOf('asm_session') == -1) { document.write("Advanced System Management access requires cookies to be enabled."+'<br><br>'); } } This problem only occurs with IE6, not Mozilla. It also only happens on some of the embedded systems, but this problem exists for everyone running IE6. The problem isn't limited to the Javascript code, either. On another web page from this embedded system, a cookie is set the normal way, via the HTTP header. This cookie is also rejected. When I display any page that attempts to set a cookie, IE6 displays the blocked icon and says that cookies on that URL are blocked. However, I have set all privacy and cookie options to their most permissive. I've spent the past hour changing every option I can find that's even remotely related to cookies and privacy, and nothing changes. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

    - IE windows opening differently Until about a week ago my browser windows opened with the usual three-button set in upper right corner (minimize- maximize-close). Suddenly my windows started opening that way BUT immediately changing to a full-screen window with a new upper right corner look -- black box containing the three-button set with a gray bar beneath, PLUS the Windows logo to the left. If I click on the restore (middle) button the browser window goes back to the normal look. WHY is this happening and HOW can I stop it? I'm getting click fatigue!

Contact your sYStem administrator." I am the administrator and have not changed any settings. Does anyone know what I need to change to allow me to perform this operation?

    - Bug in IE 6? Downloading from ftp sites Has anyone experienced the following: After setting the security in IE to "do not save encrypted pages to disk" (in the advanced tab of internet options), it becomes impossible to download from ftp sites using IE. When unchecking the box, downloads remain impossible from ftp sites only... I did this on two separate computers, and only the user account where I changed the setting is unable to access the ftp downloads, whereas all other users still can... Any ideas on how to fix this?

    - No access from 1 of 2 station network I cannot access the internet from 1 of my 2 computers. They are on a LAN thru a router. Both use Windows XP Home, w/ IE 6. I've tried hooking up the computer directly to the external modem (not thru the router). No dice. I've shut everything down, unplugged, etc. Nothing. I do not have a firewall activated. I've run Spybot 1.2, and antivirus scan (F-Prot). I suspected a Trojan Horse, so I looked up the items that run at startup, and de-selected all that I believe to be unnecessary. This didn't fix it. I show that I have an IP address. I've pinged (gonig thru the router this time) the Yahoo site, and got a response! So this tells me there is a connection, right? But I can't access anything from the browser. Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 269686

    - posting your email may get you a virus! just a note of caution on entering your real email address when posting a thread, shortly after i made a new topic and used my real email address I recieved 2 emails disguised as official microsoft emails, which claimed to be OS updates and had .exe files attached! i ran a spyware etc check from my pc and they were found to be malicous content. and i deleted them. Since i used a macintosh for internet and email i am quite safe from these kind of attacks, but if i tried to open them on my win pc they would run and probably infect it. So just be careful guys!

    - Address Line On my address line the words "Enter Key Word" appears no matter what site I'm at. This occured when a sales person had me enter the words in order to show me his product or real estate web site. In order to get the correct address to appear on the address line I need to refresh which will then show which site I am at. I have done everything I know to remove these words but have not been successful. Can anyone advise me on how to correct this problem? Sandra Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 269683

    - Uninstall IE 6.0 How do I safely, easily, and thoroughly uninstall IE 6.0 and reinstall it on a PC where it is not currently working? I got hit with a VDO Live memory virus and after running Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, HJT, deleting the six bad files, and reloading W98se, I have not internet connectivity. I read elsewhere that uninstalling IE was a problem. Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 269674

    - Corrupt SHDOCVW.DLL file? Been having problems with IE crashing, with the dreaded exception code oxc0000005. I've seen a few references to the possible culprit being a corrupt SHDOCVW.DLL file. IE version is 6.0.2800.1106. Microsoft database indicates SHDOCVW.DLL file date 8/29/02, file size 1,338,368. I have 3 SHDOCVW.DLL files on the system. One is in \windows\ServicePackFiles\386, dated 8/29/02, file size 1,341,440. The two others are both dated 1/21/04, both file size 1,339,904, located in \windows\system32 and \windows\system32\dllcache. Looks like maybe two of these should be deleted, and the other one might be corrupt? If so, which one should be left in, and how do I replace it with the correct version? Thanks!

    - Internet Explorer slowdown / no response Would you suggest a low level format? I have a SCSI drive. Read on...... I also noticed when IE starts to slow down I checked task manager and noticed scvhost.exe is using up 99% of the resources. Blaster worm in my boot sector? Now for the gorie details. I have been troubleshooting a problem with Internet Explorer slowdown and then no response. I can browse for a minute and then crawls and I get the blank page "error page…server not found or something like that) I have a Dial-up Earthlink account. I originally had win 2k but elected to go with XP Pro after being affected with the Blaster worm. I reformatted the drive and installed XP (Twice) but still have the same problem. I decided to go back to original Win 2k and installed that along with Norton 2004 and the Earthlink disk but still the same problem. I go the cmd mode and ping yahoo.com and it fails. I am still connected at this time. Before going on the internet each time I loaded all the critical MS security patches and install Norton 2004. I used a Earthlink disk from Office Max (free). Could that be a problem? Maybe Spyware? Scanning for viruses (Sasser, Blaster ) comes up clean. Since this is a new install each time, I haven't run Adware or Spyware. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 269650

    - about:blank Yesterday, I installed adaware and spybot on my computer, but the pages on IE6 still will not display. Also, I can not change my home page; it's grayed out. Adware and Spyware got rid of everything except for Cool Web Search (CWS), which keeps coming back onto my computer, everytime I exit out of IE, and go back in, it has reinstalled itself. How do I get rid of it permanently? The only web page that shows up is the stupid CWS page, with every other website I put in I will get a "Page cannot be displayed error" or CWS will change the address I put in the computer: http://www.msn.com <---> http:///%20www.msn.com How do I stop this from happening. I cannot even use my home computer to get info on how to stop this hijacking. I have to use a computer outside my home to get information on how to get rid of it. Will somebody please, Please, PLEASE help me?!!!?!!!?!!! Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 269645

    - temporary internet files folder I was asked this by a friend and was embarrassed to say I had no answer. If you clear out the internet cache completely, all cookies and files. then use windows explorer to navigate to the folder containing the cache it looks empty, go up a folder level and look at the folder properties it says it contains several folders and files. If I search the folder for '*.*' I find them but if I just double click it I see nothing they don't seem to be hidden or system files. What are these files? why can't I see them normally ? and is it safe to delete them ? Tag: Internet Explorer Tag: 269572

I have tried disabling my firewall to no avail. I even installed another browser and this was able access Microsoft.com.

At the same time, the hard drive generates some kind of grinding noise (not very loud though). The network connection shouldn't be a problem because any other network based applications runs fine. I tried to defragment the hard drive, used CHKDSK to look for disk error and even reinstalled IE6 plus the service pack or patches (By the way, is there a way to remove IE6 from Windows 2000?).
