i.e. still not working correctly
Still cant get my i.e. to function correctly. If I delete the program
in control panel, will I be able to reinstall just my i.e. off the win xp disc, without it harming anything else? Could the reinstall of this possibly solve my problem, of error message telling me this page cannot open, and the only option is to hit okay, which entirely closes out my browser. Half on my normal saved sites, give me this message now. I installed netscape, and no problem using it, but I much prefer i.e. Much regards Jerry |

Thanks Edward.
I tried the fix, and unfortunately it didnt solve the problem, but suprisingly, it let me access a few sites that I couldnt get into before, but still have the major problem. The only choice I have when the message comes up is to abort, which closes out my browser. Sometimes when I go to a site, it automatically closes explorer without even giving me an option. I have never encountered this before. I have never installed a spyware program or adware program deleter, but I do have pow pop up blocker(from analogx), which is a manual blocker only for the things I select. Disabling it, does not fix the problem. Do you think this program, which I have been using for about two months(its a nice free program by the way) could be the originator of my explorer problem?

similar IE problem in a win98se machine. Curtis "j.lef" wrote in message ... Thanks Edward.

Jerry,
1. Download and use Mozilla 1.6 as your primary browser. Period. It does not get messed up. It has a built-in popup blocker. 2. Downlaod and run Spybot and Ad-Aware, both after obtaining the latest updates from their respective web sites. IE could have gotten snarled up all on its own, or some spyware, malware, worm, or other dastardly-ware could have made the mess. I use Mozilla for 99% of my browsing, reverting to IE only to access the Microsoft web site and a few other web sites that implement Microsoft's corrupted, proprietary and non-standard version of HTML, XML, Java, Perl and whatever else is used to make web pages...

Mozilla makes reference it uses the netscape network as well as powered by gecco just like Netscape. Just curious. Much regards Jerry |

Mozilla is Netscape without whatever has been added to support specifics for
AOL. It's a curious relationship here. AOL, after buying up Netscape, made it open source some time ago, and the open source community has embraced it as its own. Somewhere along the way, AOL decided to take a certain build level of Mozilla and integrate its special stuff. At least, that's the way I think the relationship works. So AOL gets a lot of development work done for free by the open source folks, and saves bucks overall for its AOL 9.0 and follow-ons. No coincidence here, but the AOL software has become MUCH better behaved and less likely to muck up your system. Way back, I absolutely dreaded selling a computer to someone who intended to use AOL, because it often meant either a lot of telephone tech support or simply taking back the computer to get it working right again. I no longer have this dread. Yes, open source software development does work, despite Microsoft's loud braying to evangelize against it. Mozilla is also very much multi-platform, running on all kinds of hardware and operating systems... Ben Myers On Wed, 25 Feb 2004 23:20:28 GMT, "j.lef" wrote: 1.

AOL. It's a curious relationship here. AOL, after buying up Netscape,
made it open source some time ago, and the open source community has embraced it as Thanks Ben as always for the history lesson. I remember when the employees (before aol took them over) at Netscape, had some great perks. One of which was they were allowed to bring their dogs to work with them, and other such goodies. When aol was taking over they promised all the existing work environments would remain unchanged. LOL That lasted about two days after aol took over, and then practically released the whole staff from what I heard. Just a side note. My internet explorer as of today, will not even open up anymore. Its gone so sour to get to that stage. I tried various fixes, including your suggestions with no help. Would there be any repurcussions to the rest of my operating system and programs, if I delete explorer thru my control panel, add remove program, and then reinstall explorer using my win xp disc? Will it let me do it? Could this possible help the situation? My spouse has a low tolerance for learning curves on the computer.(Even though I do understand this is a small curve) She has about four or five programs she uses, but uses them an awfull lot, being a teacher. She is still using programs designed for win 3.1 as well as win 95. So I would really like to get i.e. back up and working for her. Much regards as always Jerry |
