    - IE6 Error ref: MSVCRT.DLL Hello, Just managed to get back onto the Internet after a 3 year break. I keep having a problem when trying to look at web pages other than Microsoft. Here is the description that comes up. I don't understand how to correct it. I have tried downloading MSVCRT from the downloads page and tried the IE6 Self Fix but nothing seems to work. The only way I have managed to fix it is to Format drive and reinstall IE6 ISP & Win 98SE. BUT it only takes another 12/36 Hours before the same problem stats again. Please help. AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName: msvcrt.dll ModVer: 6.1.8293.0 Offset: 00015ca2 Tag: Text size increases without warning Tag: 269735

    - Is there a worldwide HTTPS problem today? I cannot connect to my online banking site or to my amazon.com account. Is there a worldwide problem? I am getting the identical result in IE 6, Opera 7, and Netscape 7.1. I got my computer back Tuesday from the shop, where the power supply was replaced, and this behavior began that day. I'm wondering if it's my computer or the worldwide system. Anybody have an idea? Anyone having similar problems?

    - "Lock the Toolbars" moves custom toolbar to a new line... I can lock a custom toolbar at the beginning of a line that contains either the Standard Buttons, Links, or Address Bar. However, when I position the custom toolbar at the end of either of these lines (or the menu bar) and then click "Lock the Toolbars", the custom toolbar is moved to a separate line. Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong? I am using Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 and Windows XP. Thanks, Frank Tag: Text size increases without warning Tag: 269707

    - IE loading incorrect link All of a sudden some web pages are not loading correctly. But what's worst is that when I load a web page and then hit a button "say to load a forum or go to an article" windows explorer loads a totally different web sight. The one most coming up is something called FAST SEARch. I have done spywhere scans and even turned the spywhere program off but it didn't resolve it.

    - Favorites problems My uh, "friend", whacked/moved/deleted some files in the Documents & settings User folders. This has caused my favorites in Explorer to freak out. Most of the favorites have disappeared, a few remain. I tried to import Favorites, but it makes no change- it's as if it is looking in the wrong place. If I go to Organize favorites, it's the same whacked deal. If I go to Add To Favorites; I can see the original ones I want to use (but they aren't the ones displayed in the browser's session that you would use to navigate). I tried re-installing, but it's looking at the prior stuff- no change. I did a Restore, and that fixed some other issues, but the favorite issue remains. What to do? TIA!

    - Dang these 3rd Party Browser Extensions I got error messages on my browser everytime I brought up a site, such as CNN, Foxnews, ESPN, etc. These error messages went away when I disabled 3rd Party Browser extensions on IE6. I have used Spybot and Adaware and they have helped me eradicate lots of parasites, data miners, etc. But, unless I always disable 3rd Party Browser extensions, I still get error messages. And, I lose some of the web site content. What should I do now? Tag: Text size increases without warning Tag: 269703

    - URL Length I have an interesting situation. I am supporting an app that opens a page via a very long URL (1723 characters). In IE 6, it takes 3 minutes or more to open, in Netscape it opens within five seconds. Interestingly, if I reduce the length of the URL to 1338 characters, IE open the page in five seconds, but if I increase the length of the URL by one character (1339), it foes back to taking three minutes to open. Has anyone else witnessed this behaviour? Does anyone have any suggestions (Other than re-writing the app to not use such a long URL). Thanks! John W.

    - technetID KB321728: NO kerberos support for proxy servers Hi there, I've started this thread in the microsoft.public.isa newsgroup. Agreeing that it wasn't a ISA issue ;o).. Interesting stuff was mentioned there... now, the real problem: We're having a serious headbreaker here... we're using a proxy server and want to activate the kerberos usage, but the reseller gave us a reference of a technet issue 321728 mentioning that "proxy server and kerberos authentication simply doesn't work ..... even as designed". => What are the plans of microsoft? => patch for IE6? => our proxy is a network appliance proxy, but even ms ISA server 2000 can't handle it? ==> Alternatives? <== I'm hoping to find a solution for this... as the success and good ending of the project is depending of this last step! (using kerberos instead of NTLM negotiation) Greetings ... Tag: Text size increases without warning Tag: 269693

    - 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!

    - 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.

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: Text size increases without warning 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!

    - 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: Text size increases without warning Tag: 269650

The Ctrl key + the mouse wheel can cause this in IE.

Adaware?
Check for updates after downloading, then
run it, remove all red items.
