  • re unwanted redirect ie
    • when i initiate a google search for example 'construction' a sequence of redirects happen a) http://mypinkelphantz.com/?p b) http://bridge1.marketplace.net/xtrk.php? k=..... c) http://28_48582969.admarketplace.com d) http://clicks.smartbizsearch.com and so on until a page of unrelated item shows up such as a cow survey for Holsteins. This mainly happens with IE, Firefox search engine. Cui appears to be unaffected. I have applied Malwarebytes,Spybot-S&D,F-Secure Black Light, Norton,Windows Defender. None have found the culprit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Home page hijacked by MS!
    • Greetings all... I posted this (incorrectly) in the XP group and got a few tips, but nothing's working. Here's the deal... Two days ago, out of the blue, my IE6 home page was hijacked by an ad page to download MS IE8. No matter what I do to change back to my home page, this annoying page for IE8 comes up. As I watch the address bar, it quickly shows something that says "microsoft...redirect.dll...blah blah blah" and then finishes up with this IE8 propaganda. I have XP with SP3. I run anti-virus daily (and it shows nothing) and I just ran Spybot and it says my system is clean. Any ideas? It's not a big deal...I made a new icon for my desktop with my preferred homepage so I can click on that instead of the IE icon...it's just something that's irritating me....ok....so I'm crabby....I'm unemployed now for 2 months and little things are beginning to tick me off. ok...I'm done....thanks for any help.

  • Problem with IE links
    • I use MS Outlook7 for my e-mail. When I click on any link in my e-mail, the link doesn't open, but rather I end up at www.google.com. If I am really desperate to open a link, I have to right click on the link and "view source." Then I have to wade through all the Greek, hopefully find the url I need, and then cut and paste it into a browser. Please help!!

  • Can Not Display Page
    • Help!!!! I was running Windows XP Home Edition with IE7 and keep getting "can not display page" when accessing windows update or any windows support page or any windows download page. I can get to any other webpage and also able to download from other sites; ie, ZDnet for Ad-ware and Avira Anti-Virsus software. I have since uninstalled IE7 and still get the same message in IE6. Any help would be greatly appriecated.

  • Can't Run With The RunTime Errors!
    • I been having a problem running IE5 after just installing it with the Win2k operating system. I also had the same problem when I was running IE6 before: I would keep getting an error message about some kind of "run time" problem about every five to ten seconds. Things would run okay for a few moments, then the same or a slightly different error message. This could go on for quie a while before either things became stable or the computer crashed . Ithought re- installing the OS would make things better but it may have made the problem worse. I am running IE on an old 166 MHz box that's slow and sluggish, but otherwise works well as long as I don't try getting on the internet with Internet Explorer; curiously, I don't have much of the problem when using a browser like Opera. Does anyone have any ideas why this run time error message keeps popping up, or have any suggestions for stoppping it? Ron

  • Internet Explorer 6 - MSXML4.dll
    • Hi, I have an issue with IE6, I have MSXML3.dll loaded as an add-in. I have downloaded the MSXML4.msi SP2 from technet and this has created the MSXML4.dll(s) in C:\Windows\System32 I have ran regsvr32 MSXML4.dll and the .dll was registered succesfully, however I cannot see this as an add-in for IE6. I have also downloaded the MSXML 6.0 and this is exactly the same - I can register the .dll's but they do not show up in IE6 add-ins. How do I load the ActiveX component into the browser. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Switching computers
    • This question must be asked a thousand times daily but I can't seem to find any help with it. I am changing computers and would like to take my old email account with all the addresses and messages to the new PC. I have entered all the details as requested in the 'set up' series of windows but still no messages appear in my in/read boxes from the old computer. How do I gain access to them from the new PC? As for addresses I have downloaded them to a CD for transfer but the new PC won't load them into the new address book. Thanks in advance Justin.

  • Problems with opening link in Hotmail
    • Whenever I post a question and get a response from Microsoft's newsgroup website I cannot open read and rate response. It only happens with these emails. It attempts to go to the website but it does not load even after refreshing several times. I end up going back to the newsgroup and locating my question. Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Get blank screen when accessing Hotmail sign-in page

  • Connexion problem - error 12029
    • Greetings, I'm using WinXP Pro SP3, automatic updates enabled. Since a couple of days, IE7 is no longer able to connect to anything, including Windows Update or even our intranet - which excludes a DNS problem, because I enter directly the IP address of the machine one floor below. I use Windows built-in firewall, but even turning it off does not help. My internet connexion (via University LAN) works well, I can use other browsers without any problem, email, FTP... everything. Only IE refuses to work, and this means all the updates passing through IE are stopped. At first I thougth the culprit could be spybot, but turning off spybot addon did not solve either. I use F-Secure antivirus, but it had never interfered with IE. I have Windows Defender on The connexion panel under Tools > Internet Options > Connexions > LAN parameters has all the checkboxes cleared. Checking the "automatic configuration" does not help. I also tried the "reinitalise" buttons under the "Advanced" tab, no result! The proxy box is clear. I have only one LAN card, no wireless. I did a search on the net for similar problems, but all I found was related either to a firewall or to the proxy box in the "connexion" tab being checked. I'm clueless, can somebody help? Thanks so much in advance.

  • Stumped - Attached URL broken on *some* machines
    • Very wierd, the following url has no attachment, but it is a link to a word document. http://www.academicimpressions.com/speakers/conference_assignment it doesn't open when you link to it in ie6 on our machines, but if you append a .doc to the url it opens fine. Without the .doc, IE knows it's a word document, then asks to open or save it, then says unable to connect to web site, difficulty etc. It works on ie7 machines, looks like the file is embeded in IE when it works. IUs it a mime issue, security zone issue? I added the site to trusted sites and it still doesn't work. How can I change the default mime settings for IE6 on XP SP3?

  • How do we get Microsoft to fix this posting error problem?
    • In ALL the newsgroups, users are recieving a failure to post message when they send a post, which causes them to repost, sometime 4 or 5 times, many times in multiple topic areas. This needs to be fixed because it not only affects users, but responders. Anyone here who can get through to the god at Redmond? Cheers, Shane Devenshire

  • IE 6 is reporing an internal website in the Internet Zone
    • I've got two computers that are behvaing oddly. On our intranet, we have various reports. Two computers, when they follow the link to the report get "Page cannot be displayed". What is more bizzare, is the zone is reported as being Internet, when it clearly is in the INTRANET. I've manually added it to Trusted, no difference. I even manually entered it into the intranet zone. No difference. Has anyone seen this type of behaviour? -Scott

  • Auto refreshing web page pops inactive window to the front
    • I'm having a strange problem. I work in network control center environment where we use IE6 to access monitoring tools. One of these tools is a logging webpage that allows controllers to log actions. This page is set to auto-refresh every 30 seconds. In most cases this refreshing happens with no problems, but on a few (identical boxes, software setup, etc.) , when the page auto-refreshes, it causes that instance of IE6 to pop to the front and make it the active window. It only happens if the window is open in the background, not if the window is minimized. I have scoured the settings but cannot find anything that is causing this. Do you have any ideas?

  • IE automation question
    • I am driving IE from an external vbscript (cscript xxx.vbs). I can make IE do everything that I want, but it isn't neat and it's probably non standard. What I want to do is get some input from the user, process the input, change a few values in IE and trigger a function to set up for more input (IFAIK it can't be done by dynamic HTML - IE is driving Google Maps and needs to make a few calls). [and no the code can't all be embedded in IE as it also uses WSH functions] in IE I define a hidden field (used for signalling both ways) <INPUT TYPE="hidden" ID="OK" NAME="OK" VALUE="0" OnClick="dosomething ()"> To get IE to talk to the vbs, the vbs spins: ---- do while ie.document.findelementbyID("OK").value=0 sleep 200 loop ---- and IE sets OK to something other than zero to show the user has completed input To get vbs to talk to IE In vbs ---- ' Signal we made a change set elem=objIE.document.getElementById("OK") elem.click ---- What worries me is I don't think the use of onclick on a hidden field is supported by the DOM. Ideally, there would be a way for vbs to discover the function dosomething() and call it directly but I don't know how. The available documentation on the web is huge, obscure and uninformative [well, to me who started using vbscript 3 months ago and just started on jscript]. Is there a more elegant and/or more standard way?

  • IE7 VIsta 64bit
    • Have been driving myself nuts with this Stupid Adobe flash problem in the 64bit version of Vista. I have read EVERY post I can find, have chatted with a microsoft person, and yet NOONE has been able to tell me how to work around or fix the issue. From what I have been able to find, it deals with a non 64 bit of the Flash player plugin not being. And then the mentions of if you use the 32 bit version it works. Well, WHERE in the heck is it, I search for Internet Explorer on my system and only a 64 bit command comes up. Does Vista 64 default to a 32 bit browser???? Am I missing something???? How do you setup a 32 bit version of IE on Vista 64bit, Please post link or instructions. Thanks Glenn

  • Some pages won't display properly
    • I have IE6 on an XP SP3 machine. What might cause some few web pages to display improperly (i.e. some of the first items on the page are displayed in a wide band across the screen, forcing a scroll down to the rest of the page)? These pages display perfectly normally on other PCs, with no need to scroll in order to see the entire page. This effect is not consistent with all web pages, but only seems to affect a few web pages. -- John
