I currently am running IE 6 however there are a number of sites that I go to
frequently that just don't function properly. I would like to upgrade to IE
8 but I had such problems with IE 7, especially regarding Outlook Express
that I'm concerned about installing IE 8. I've also read about problems with
IE 8 as well. Is there any justification for my concern?
while using IE version 600.2900. I lose all the toolbars except the top bar
which is not a toolbar.
I then have to restart IE, does anyone have the fix for this, re-installing
is not the answer,thanks to all
With kind regards From WillofAustralia
Hi,
I am trying to access a web application which only supports IE version 5.01
and above. In order to perform this check we use USerAgent string to check
the IE version and then allow the users to access the application.
While testing we found out that on Windows XP IE 6.0 when the user agent is
beyong 256 character length, the rest of the useragent string is getting
truncated and it is only returning Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;).
However this is not the case with IE 7.0 and IE 8.0.
Is this a known issue in IE 6.0 and do this have any workaroound?
Any pointers to this or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Ashwin
I'm running windows/xp sp3 and IE6 6.0.2900.5512. I'm considering upgrading
to IE8, primarily due to security concerns.
1. Will my computer truly be more secure with ie8 than with ie6? I keep up
to date on all MS updates.
2. Does ie8 run on windows/xp?
3. I'm already memory-constrained. Will that be even more of a problem with
ie8?
4. I'm already processor-constrained: intel 2.something pentium. Will that
be even more of a problem with ie8.
5. Will I be able to revert to ie6 if I install ie8 and find it unacceptable?
TIA,
Phil
Whenever a user first logs in to a Windows system, or when the
internet explorer has been updated to a new version since the
previous login, a small program runs that performs some initialisation
of the user settings for internet explorer. A small window is shown
in the top left corner of the screen while this happens. This lasts
only a few seconds and you don't see it again until the next upgrade.
Does anyone know which program is doing this and how it can be started
manually?
We are running a Citrix server with only published applications, no
desktop for the users. When a user only runs published applications,
and has never logged on to a desktop, the abovementioned initialisation
has not been performed, and internet explorer does not work correctly
in that session. This is most apparent when using help in the
application where the help is a compiled html file. The user will
not be able to navigate the help.
I hope there is some program we can run from the logon script to
initialize the internet explorer just like it happens when a logon
to a desktop is done.
A lot of sites have the auto logon/remember me box to check if wanted.
I click the box and IE doesn't remember the next time, is there a tweak to
it somewhere?
tks all

Google has announced that it is phasing out support for IE6. This will cause
a problem for those with older OSs. No word on older Firefox etc.

hi, my IE7 is getting buggier by the moment.
I would upgrade to IE8, but can I still use Outlook Express
with IE8 or I am stuck with that horrible "Windows Live Mail"
if I upgrade to IE8?
thanks for any compatibility pointers...

hi,
ie7 has been acting strange lately. i use it for previewing web designs in
Dreamweaver on the local computer, which is fine. But when I try to connect
to an internet site, it seems to stall on "connecting" and never gets the
site up.
I tried deleting IE7 from Zone Alarms prog list once; that worked
temporarily. Then same problem came back.
I've also deleted all offline files, cookies, etc.
thanks for any pointers...

This is about the suitability of Maxthon browser as a replacement for IE6.
Hopefully the IE experts here are familiar enough with it to offer some
advice.
Since IE6 has been on the ropes, and since I'm happily ensconced in Win2K
with no IE upgrade path, awhile back I installed the earlier version (1.6)
of Maxthon browser, so called "Maxthon Classic". There is also a newer, more
advanced Maxthon browser, version 2.5, for which Maxthon says Vista is the
recommended OS, as opposed to stating that that is a minimum requirement.
The question is, since Maxthon is supposed to be largely derived from IE in
how it works, does it also have the same security vulnerabilities -
especially the earlier version, which is a contemporary if IE6.
By the way, my default browser is Firefox. This is a back-up. Trust me - I
occasionally have a genuine need for such an arrangement.
Club newsletter sent as .pdf file ("Tattler 1-12-10") now will not open.
Click on file link receives "filelib_download.asp" instead of .pdf.
Attempted to relate the .asp to be opened by AdobeRdr without success.
Non-tech type would again like to read the weekly newsletter.
Once in a while I get a popup window that I want to block or complain about.
However these windows usually have no address bar, no menu so I can't see
the URL. Is there a way to reveal the URL or IP anyway?
Hello group
Some applications that access through the browser gave me a notice
that I have to update to higher version of IE , ex. IE8.
I am currently using IE6 in a WinXPSP3 platform
Does it mean that IE6 will disappear soon?
What will really happen?
What is really the main issue why some softwares will provide such
notification?
And supposing this browser will be removed or made redundant would the
current version o IE8 is already bug free that it can be better
replacement?
TIA

In addition to favorites to web pages, I also some â??file foldersâ?? to my
favorites. For example, I add C: as a favorite. (I have many mapped drives
and my folder structure is deep and thus I add many file folders as
favorites).
Now, when I try to export favorites, these â??file foldersâ?? favorites are not
exported!! (The favorites to web pages do export.)
How to export â??file foldersâ?? favorites?
2 weeks ago I had a Trojan Virus on my PC. McAfee said that this had been
succesfully removed. However, whenever I logged on, after about 15-20 mins
the whole system would freeze. I managed to get this problem sorted by
contacting the manufacturers (DELL) who disabled some of my startup
applications and installed Malwarebytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware.
After running scans on these and removing various infections, it seemed to be
working again. However, for the last 4-5 days , when I have been trying to
connect to the internet, internet explorer will not load up and I cannot
receive/send e-mails. When I go into Network Connections it appears that I
am actually connected but at no point can I get the explorer up and outlook
express just freezes when I try to recieve e-mails. I would be most grateful
for any help on this matter, thank you.
For Outlook Express, I am using XP with SP3. Does anyone have any suggestions
on how to disconnect the internet connection after checking email?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I don't truly know if this is a DNS issue, but when I open Internet Explorer
it sometimes tries to resolve the IP address of my home page and my favorites
and does not connect. Closing it and reopening IE normally corrects it, and
it then resolves the domain name and connects fine. I do not understand why
this only happens some of the time and why it seemingly fixes itself by
closing and reopening IE, without any other changes.
Does this sound like a DNS issues, or s security setting, or something else?
It does not happen with any other browsers, only IE.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

"Friends Don''t Let Friends Dial-Up"
I am using Outlook Express under XP. I am on a 768kb DSL. Mail is scanned
by Symantec. I understand that mail, when sent, is marked as "sent" before
it completes because Symantec has it.
Due to erratic problems with transmission, when I send a large attachment it
may take much, much time -- up to 10 times or more slower than normal. (When
I look at Task Manager/Networking, I can see that xmit utilization is very,
very slow.) The problem occurs very randomly, so when I see it going so
slow, I want to kill the transmission and try again later.
Is there a way to kill a message after I send it but before it finishes?
Thank you for your suggestions.
I was running a dial up access and have just installed Broadband but clciking
on IE 6 I get an error 403 and a message about Access Control.
I do not have any other browsers installed.
Anyone help?
The dial up was provided by Wanadoo and the Broadband is a different provider.
During the past two weeks I've started getting the following IE6 error when
trying to open Yahoo Finance, Yahoo E-Mail and possibly other websites -
"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site". The next line lists the
web address that could not be opened and the last line says "Operation
aborted". I click OK and the page cannot be displayed opens. This is also
happening with IE7.
I use IE and FireFox.
I remember an option with one of them that allows a site to open
automatically in IE when in FireFox.
I can manually do this now with "View in IE..." option but know there is an
automatic way. System remembers the address.
Does anyone know if this tool is in IE 6.0?
Tks all

Hi,
Can anyone tell me this strange issue I'm facing with Internet Explorer 6 SP2?
I can not open any web page NOT starting with https: from my laptop (Win XP
Professional Sp2) where as I can access all URLs from my desktop PC with same
OS version and IE version. The network thru which I access Internet is same
for both the computers.
I have default security settings choosen for both above.
An early response will be highly appreciated. Many Thanks.
Hello,
I don't know is there a group concerned with IE8 so I am posting here.
it really bugs me why IE8 cannot handle simple JS; scripts that all were
working in IE7 ? But what really looks like total nonsense is why all
other browsers actually *can* handle same script with no security
warnings, blocks or errors including previous IE browser versions ?
This problem has reached level of absurdity in IE8 which blocks or
simple won't execute scripts that worked in previous versions of IE.
I did real browser line-up:
* Firefox
* SeaMonkey
* Safari
* Opera
* K-meleon
* Chrome
* Flock
* previous versions of IE
All working perfectly, all executing same scripts - most of them based
on simple, basic JavaScript expressions. Even if there is possibility
that my code can be erroneous, that does no explain fact why all other
browsers are executing this very code.
This is a serious yet very simple question: what is wrong with Internet
Explorer, especially IE8 ? Microsoft is capable to create excellent
development environments, databases etc, but Microsoft cannot create web
browser ?
I don't buy it.
So, answer might be that MS WON'T create web browser that can compete
with reliability of other browsers. All I want to know is - *why* ?
..
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to know how to capture/extract the ever-so-fast disappearing
text message that briefly displayed in I.E.'s status bar when you click on a
link. Is there any existing software that does this or do u have to write
your own code? If use code, what language/tools to use?
Thank you in advance!

hello,
i currently have IE 6 that works with a proxy server that requires
authentication.
now since last week all users are getting the pop up message to enter their
username and password every 15-20 minutes despite the fact that the users
click on the save password box.
now the specific issue is observed only to the users that use Terminal
license to connect to a specific machine (win server 2003). all other users
using normal pc's with the same proxy server do not have this issue.
any ideas?
thank you in advance
I work in a department that has a process in place where we are in different
stages on working with files. Is there a way to color code folder names or
change the icon for specific folders that would indicate the status of the
files. These are on a server and used by multiple people. I understand we
could just change the name of the folder to indicate its status, but would
like other options instead.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what wrong with following web site?
When I read and post any question, it takes too much CPU power for
processing. but I get no idea what it is doing, and I assume the CPU should
not process anything at all, when I surf the Internet.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what is going on?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I have IE 8 with XP pro sp3. I had to close my pc because threre was 20
active processes of iexplore.exe in task manager. I just turned on my pc
and and open Outlook Express. Without opening any web pages or other
application I have 4 instances of iexplore.exe. What's seem to be the
problem and how do I solve this. That is the first time I see that.

Conditional comments are used to expose unique HTML for IE 7 and below.
As expected, non-IE browsers correctly ignore the conditional comments.
IE6, IE7, and IE8 all DISPLAY the conditional comments on the page (and
also all select the code bracketed by [if IE lte 7]).
I've looked at this over and over and can't see what is wrong.
I need another pair of eyes to look at the source and tell me where I've
gone wrong. My reference for the coding was

Winxp(home), zone alarm, AVG AV, wireless card.
Here's the situation.
Replaced HD and have reloaded most programs we need.want.
When I open IE 7.x the first screen of any site opens up fast. When we click
on a link within 'most' web sites, it takes forever, if at all, to open.
Haven't run into this but I'm assuming it's a setting but not sure where to
look!!?

Did a clean install of Windows XP Professional. Updated it with all the
service packs and Microsoft has been sending down a steady stream of
updates; one of which was Iexplorer 8. It won't open. I even tried a
re-install of the program and it still doesn't open. I'm using the free
version of AVG as my virus scanner. I disabled it and tried; still no
luck. What could be the problem?
HTML file reads
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
and saved in Motepad as UTF-8
Yet IE6 shows Cyrilics as gobbledagoock unless in the browser in
View-->Encoding I manually set encoding to Unicode UTF-8
I thought that enciding specified in matatags should override browser
setting, otherwise one had to guess the encoding and set is menually.
Is this the case?
BTW some time ago these used to be an very popular HTML newsgroup here on MS
news server - has it been moved somewhere?
Now it is only HTML_authoring and it is a dead one.
Hi,
One of the pages in my web application, requires to display huge amount of
data.
Its a list of items, with drop down list as one of the column to select a
value.
Problem is the items displayed and page looks good in IE7.0 with proper
drop-down lsit for all the items, even when tested with 10,000 number of
items.
However, with IE6.0 the page has problem even with 4000 items. Issue is that
the drop down list is not proper and not displayed for the items towards the
end of the page.
Is this problem with size of http data ? Kindly let me know if there is an
issue with IE6.0 ?

I am using XP and IE8 with no problems for months. Now suddenly when I try
to log on Google.groups I get the following message.
(your browser's cookie functionality is turned off.) They then suggest
clearing cookies.
I rechecked my cookie settings which are still set to accept first party,
prompt for third party, always allow session cookies. cleared and reset.
I have deleted the browser history - temporary internet files - cookies
and then verified via temp and history settings - view files - that there
were no Google text files as suggested on a MS site for similar problem.
Strangely I do receive prompts to accept cookies from sites other than
Google groups.
