    - What is changing my IE browser starting page? Hello, For the second time in a week my IE (ver.7) starting page has changed to: "Sign up for Windows Live Hotmail" page. The address displayed: http://bl102w.blu102.mail.live.com/mail/LoginError.aspx?error=31&mkt=en-US&ru=http%3a%2f%2fbl102w.blu102.mail.live.com%2fmail%2fTodayLight.aspx%3fn%3d62637975%26gs%3dtrue I had my browser starting page set to some other address. Now, it looks like this: http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome I did not authorize that change, neither installed any new software which could do that. Any thoughts?

    - Can't fit the top bars onto one row anymore :-( Using IE6 with my widescreen monitor I could easily fit all the top bars onto one row. Using IE7 or IE8 beta I am no longer able to do this. Instead I'm forced to have a big fat collection of top bars comprised mostly of grey wasted space. I don't want to turn any of them off, I just want the Navigation/Address Bar, Menu Bar and Favourites Bar on one row. Come on MS, would it really hurt to let me dock the bars where I like?

Meaning, i click on something, and its as if I never clicked. I keep clicking, and nothing. I have also had a problem of subscribing to groups. I click the subscribe button, my cursor will remain an arrow. Tonight when all this was going on, my screen went white. I had to minimize the screen and open a new one. I have Google toolbar, IE. browser. Keep my computer scanned, have Norton 360, so not a virus. This is becoming very annoying. Its like the page I'm on is "dead".

    - Comcast.Net Homepage Hi: I and apparently a lot of others are having problems with getting Comcast's homepage to fully open. I have Googled this problem and no one seems to have an answer and neither does Comcast. I have contacted their Tech Support via phone, chat line, and now email and have gotten absolutely nowhere in finding a resolution to this problem. In addition, the problem is sporadic in that sometimes, not very often, it will in fact fully open. I might add this problem appears only with my Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11 and not with Opera 9.26. I have emptied everything with IE except the kitchen sink, reinstalled Adobe Flash Player after completely uninstalling it and everything else that I can think of to no avail. There were some postings about Linksys router causing this problem due to firmware, but I have completely bypassed my Linksys router and still have this problem. I ran from cmd prompt Release/Renew my DHCP. If anyone has any suggestions as to what might be the cause of this problem I sure would love to hear from you....and apparently lots of others as well as Comcast!

    - *** 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: Languages Tag: 403066

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.
