having problems getting downloads from Windows Update. Won't download the
files it enumerates. BUT, i can individually install the updates if I
download them individually. So, it's just when I try to do it via Windows
Update. What could the problem be?
I just went to a website that said they don't support IE6 anymore. Assume
I'll be getting this answer more and more.
If I upgrade from IE 6 to IE8 will I get the terrible favorites view rather
than the IE6 I am have.
IE8 Favorites drive me nuts when I try to save something in that I have to
go though the "whole" list of folders rather than be able to zero in on a
specific folder.
Thanks !
P.S...Sorry about posting in the wrong area. I have them both on my list
and guess
I clicked on the wrong one.
I keep getting a notice that says "IE has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It only happens when I try to
open my YAHOO e-mail account. I am using Version 6.0.2900.5512. HELP !!
I want to delete the connections listed under:
Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Dial-Up and Virtual Private Network
Settings
Before I delete them I want to note how they are configured. Is there a way
to do this?
Thanks in advance.
I think my kids changed a setting in IE because now, the toolbar with File,
Edit, View...is GONE, also gone is the bar with Add Favorites, Home, Page...
I think it might have happen when I tried to download IE8 and one of my kids
did something before it downloaded 100%.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
There is a very annoying ad that comes into my computer each time I log on to
IE6 from the following site:
http://content.pulse360.com/AF7F5454-06AA-11DF-BB59-79A43FF5047F
I have gone to Tools-Options-Security-Restrict and tried to block it by
adding the above address to the list. However, the list will not accept the
characters after the .com/ and the ads still appear.
I have XP HE sp3 in the computer with IE6. I also have NIS 2010 installed.
Certainly there should be someway to block those ads, I just do not know how.

http://gizmodo.com/5483186/inside-the-excruciatingly-slow-death-of-internet-explorer-6
It's the bane of Web designers everywhere, and it makes most modern
Websites look broken and horrible. So why are 20% of web surfers still
using it?
Today was supposed to be a great day for the Web. As of March 1, 2010,
Google will no longer support Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 browser-a
decade-old dinosaur engineered to navigate the Web as it existed in the
year 2000. Why would this be cause for celebration? Because IE6 is
barely capable of navigating the modern Web and a total nightmare to
build sites, services and applications for.
But ten years after its release, it's still being used by an estimated
20% of surfers. And while Google's move is one in the right direction,
I'm not breaking out the whiskey and noisemakers for IE6's funereal wake
quite yet. Sadly, IE6 isn't going away for good anytime soon.
Those unfamiliar with the Internet Explorer 6 saga might be wondering
what the big deal is. How could the life or death of one browser be so
critical to the future of our increasingly Internet-based lives? When
compared to browsers of today, IE6 is a standards-incompliant antique.
It debuted during a dark, dark period in Web history; In the summer of
2001, Microsoft had soundly beaten Netscape into submission for a 90%
lock on the browser market and was in the uniquely powerful position to
decide which Web standards it would ignore, which it would integrate,
which it would halfway adopt and which it would simply make up. And IE6
is the bastard child of this hubris. It doesn't behave like any other
browser on the market because it doesn't interpret Cascading Style
Sheets or JavaScript according to the universal standards set by
organizations like the W3C. I've heard of developers spending anywhere
between 20% and 50% of their time on a project making a site work in
Internet Explorer 6. I know of many others who simply chop out advanced
features, enhanced interactivity and slick design elements altogether,
just so their work doesn't "break" in IE6.
Why do they bother? Because nearly a decade after it shipped with
Windows XP, IE6 still commands a mind-blowing 20% market share for
browsers, according to the most recent statistics compiled by
NetMarketShare. That's more than double the shares of Chrome and Safari
combined, and just shy of Firefox's 24% piece of the pie. And that's
only Internet Explorer 6. Combined with its better-behaving but by no
means perfect descendants, IE7 and IE8, Internet Explorer as a whole
owns 62% of the browser market. Now, browser market share is not an
inexact science and the numbers vary widely from site to site and
country to country, but you get the picture.
The longevity of IE6 is the result of a perfect storm of unfortunate
factors. First among them: Microsoft's IE division simply fell asleep.
Having emerged the undisputed victor of the late '90s browser wars,
Microsoft had virtually no competitors and so no incentive to fix any of
IE6's bugs. It took Microsoft more than five years to release IE7, which
was an improvement over IE6, but still a disappointment for Web
designers and developers. Five years! In the five years between 2004 and
2009, Mozilla released three versions of Firefox (actually, 3.5 versions
to be exact). Meanwhile, Chrome has gone through four iterations in just
over a year. In those five years between IE6 and IE7, technological
progress on the Web was severely hobbled to say the least. After all,
who cares if Firefox can do something really cool if only a handful of
users will ever see it?
But Internet Explorer 7 did eventually come out, and so did Internet
Explorer 8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and new versions of Opera. And yet,
IE6 remains the second most popular browser in the world (behind IE8).
What gives? The chief reason Internet Explorer 6 keeps hanging on is
because people are using it at work or on work computers.
As anyone who's ever used a computer furnished by their employer can
attest, IT departments are slow to make any changes that might disrupt
the delicate balance of their electronic ecosystems. And they sure as
hell aren't going to let you upgrade or install anything yourself.
Making matters worse, Internet Explorer 6 is deeply embedded in the
infrastructures of countless corporations worldwide. Back when IE6 was
the only game in town, businesses invested in Intranets and
browser-based apps that functioned only in IE. Why bother with anything
else? Five years later, of course, a lot of businesses learned the hard
way that "IE-only" actually meant "IE6-only." Oops. Now, ask yourself
how much interest corporations have in re-investing more capital to fix
something that, in their eyes, isn't broken. The answer is: not much.
A recent article on Dell's IT Expert Voice blog cited another reason
your company doesn't upgrade to IE8 or another browser: user control.
Your bosses don't want you on Facebook and YouTube, and they know that
the experience of visiting these sites with IE6 will be painful enough
to limit your time on them. They effectively block you without coming
off as overtly Orwellian. Win win.
Finally, there are the countless folks who simply don't know any
better-a contingent I was reminded of by David Walsh, a developer for
the Mootools Javascript framework (for which IE6 support remains a
priority). "When it comes to Internet Explorer 6, developers ask, ?God,
why do people choose to stay with it?'" he says. "But, I like to remind
them that users don't care and shouldn't have to care. The one example I
give is my grandmother. She doesn't know what a browser is. She just
knows that when she clicks the little blue ?e' on her desktop she gets
to see the Internet."
It's not just grannies, either. I was using the computer of a
30-something year-old friend recently and mentioned my surprise to see
him still using IE6. He asked me why it even mattered.
If people aren't allowed to upgrade or have no idea that they need to,
then does the Google announcement inch us any closer to an IE6-free Web
today than we were yesterday? "It's an important first step that I'm
quite happy about," Walsh says. "But, I don't think it would be wise for
developers to say, ?Well, Google is doing it so I'm going to do it too.'
I foresee at least another year or two of having to support Internet
Explorer 6."
I'm less optimistic than Walsh, and that's thanks mostly to Microsoft's
pledge to support IE6 until April 8, 2014-the day it officially ends
support for Windows XP, the OS it was bundled with. As much as it pains
me, I have to give Microsoft a tiny bit of respect for doing this.
Though the company wouldn't provide comment for this story, it pointed
me to a blog post explaining the method behind this madness. "Dropping
support for IE6 is not an option because we committed to supporting the
IE included with Windows for the lifespan of the product. We keep our
commitments. Many people expect what they originally got with their
operating system to keep working whatever release cadence particular
subsystems have." Microsoft is basically taking the exact opposite
approach to upgrades that Apple takes, which is to upgrade quickly at
the expense of its users (Snow Leopard on G5, anyone?).
For its own part, Microsoft would be happy to see you stop using IE6,
too. In another blog post, the company says, "Think about what
technology and the Internet were like in the year 2000 ? and consider
how they've evolved since then. In 2000, ?phishing' was something that
happened at the lake, not online. There was no social networking, no RSS
feeds, and no real blogs. It was a different time ? and people's
browsing needs were different."
The post goes on to explicitly recommend moving off of IE6. The problem
is, corporate IT departments won't do so until they absolutely must,
which may be well after the April 2014 death knell sounds. If Microsoft
was smart, it would actively help businesses upgrade their IE6-based
systems to IE8 (and future versions). And they would do it for free.
Why? Because IE's very survival could be at stake. If Microsoft doesn't,
then Google could certainly afford to offer similar support for
companies to move their systems over to Chrome. Overnight, we could see
Chrome's market share balloon to 30% and all versions of Internet
Explorer shrink to below 40%.
Walsh points out that Explorer's market share is being further
threatened by empowered Web developers and a more educated Web-going
public. "There's this assumption that people are going to go straight
from Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 7 or 8," he says. "But,
the thing we have to realize is that browsers as a whole have become
more popular. Five years ago, most people probably didn't know what a
browser was, but more and more they're able to indentify them. And as
Web sites drop IE6 support, developers are going to steer people toward
the browsers they like. Firefox, Chrome and Safari are going to be
pitched a lot more than IE and I think those browsers have a good chance
at being the next step for people."
But IE6 is something many Web developers will have to tangle with for
years to come. For any Web site considering following Google unto the
breach, I ask you to remember a few things. First, Google.com isn't
going to suddenly stop working for folks using IE6. By dropping support,
Google is saying that future upgrades to sites and services like
YouTube, Gmail and Google Docs will no longer prioritize IE6
compatibility. Second, let your user base determine your course of
action. David Walsh's blog, for example, is targeted at professional Web
designers and developers. "My Website is 1% IE6," he says. "So I don't
really care about it." (Only 5% of PopSci users are on IE6). But, you
can believe a site like the New York Times will care about IE6 until the
bitter end. No matter what you do, consider this comment to one the
above-mentioned Microsoft blog posts:
"I work for a large financial services company with 40,000+ employees.
And yes, every desktop PC and laptop runs WinXP and IE6. More than 85%
of all browsing is intranet. Basic news sites etc deliver the
information without the frills. For our vendors who offer Web portals
(eg home loan valuations, stationery suppliers etc) - we'll simply dump
them if we can't access their sites after a ?no-IE6 revamp.'"
So, there it is. Continue at your own risk. And in the meantime, IE6's
celebratory funerals might be in haste.
1. Can I install IE7 directly over IE6, thereby keeping all my settings and
Favorites?
2. Is it preferable to uninstall IE6 before installing IE7? If so, how do I
keep my settings and Favorites?
3. A lot of the folders that my IE6 works out of are still labelled
IE5.5...Is this going to stay that way unless I do a coplete uninstall of IE?
4. Since IE and OE used to come together, would uninstalling IE6 have any
effect on my OE (e.g., addresses, folders, etc.)?
I am on Windows XP Professional SP2 and have been strongly advised by a
computer technician not to install SP3 because of all the havoc it has
wreaked for so many people. I have all the info on how to install SP3 and
IE6,7,8, but have been putting it off because I am scared (paralyzed) of
SP3....:-(....Is it true that after After 12 April 2010 I won't get any
updates if I don't have SP3...?
Thanks for the help!

This isn't an anti IE rant, quite the opposite. I'm a developer and these are my frustrations in
seeing how the applications and interfaces I write perform in the other two major browsers,
Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 4 as opposed to how they (sort of) perform in IE 8.
I'm not talking about incompatibility whatsoever. It's not like I'm complaining about the lack of
the ability to use the <video> tag or something. I'm talking purely about the perfomance and
response times of totally IE compatible javascript applications.
The performance difference between IE 8 and the other two major browsers, Firefox and Chrome,
is staggering. I find I'm writing applications now that I know just won't work in IE 8, not because of
a lack of support, or a need for browser specific code, but because IE 8 will just slow to a crawl
even though the other major browsers handle it with ease.
IE is still the most used browser, and I'd like to be able to make sites that I know can function on it as
well as any other browser. The other option is just to dumb down the applications and interfaces to be
able to work on IE, in essence moving backwards.
I'd like to see a much improved javascript engine in IE 9 and a much faster development cycle.
Hi
My problem is that when I watching pages that including flash the page and
pictures starts blinking specially when I move the mouse or scroll the page
Im running win 7, IE 8 and the latest flash player.
If I disable flash player the blinking stops but then youtube is for no use ;)
Has anyone a solution for this problem?
Best Regards
Dear Sir/Madam
I was on XP PRO version 2002 SP3 with IE8 for some months now.
Suddenly the IE8 went dead a couple of weeks ago.
IE8 was "never" on the add-remove program list. In the process of setting
things right, I removed SP3, tried to reinstall all windows updates and IE8
or IE7.
IE installation fails at the language pacck / admin tools kit installation
with the creation of a link on desktop "IETroubleshooting" which takes me to
micosoft's FIXIT - which is of no help either.
Can you please guide and suggest me if there is a way to get me back on track
with SP3- IE8 without a clean installation of the OS ? All the spywar
/malware/ antivirus / system cleaners/microsoft MRT/ all.. reported my system
clean.
Right now... I'm running windows/xp sp3 and IE 6.0.2900.5512.xp_sp3_gdr.91208-
2036IC
Thank you...
I have several locations on my site that have tables inside elements such as
divs that specify the text-align:center; CSS property. When IE8 is not in
compatibility mode, this is ignored by tables that are children of the tag
the property is specified in. I have only noticed this with table tags.
Here is a simple page I have written to demonstrate this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<table><tr><td>Table</td></tr></table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
When you run this in IE8, be sure to try viewing it in compatibility and
non-compatibility mode. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that when
following standards, text-align:center; should center any children. If IE6,
IE7, and IE8 Compatibility Mode follow this simple standard, why would
Microsoft not follow the standard in IE8's non-compatibility mode? Is this a
bug, is there some reason I don't know of, or is there really something
wrong with my code? Thanks.

I am an end user of a custom application the runs on IE. One of the windows
contains a form that requires the same information in four fields everytime.
Is there a way to set up something to automatically fill this info in?
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

I also use XP Home Edition Serv P 3
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.

I would upgrade to IE8, but can I still use Outlook Express

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 have W2K with latest updates and IE6
I noted the existence of several jave updates in system
Can the old ones be deleted and just keep the latest?
Like does the latest update(17) have ALL the previous fixes in it?
TIA

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.
