Internet explorer 8 fix

I found a solution to my problem with internet explorer messing up my site. I removed my favicon and that fixed everything. The site looks almost as good in IE8 on XP 2002 as it does in Safari. With the favicon in place everything was so messed up the site was unreadable; without the favicon it's perfect.
here is the code I used: <head> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/favicon.ico"><meta
If anyone sees something wrong with this code please let me know, otherwise I will just live without the favicon.
Anyone who has problems with IE and is using a favicon, try removing it and see if that helps.
Hope this helps, David

Hi,
You can use the steps in the following thread to disable this option:
uncheck "use automatic configuration script" in IE LAN settings 
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/05a7c683-075e-435c-8583-da8fd3559cf2
Or try to
reset Internet Explorer settings and select use automatic configuration script to see whether it could work.
Hope this helps.

    Um, do you have the FREE Acrobat reader installed, or the FULL

  • Internet explorer fix connection error

    I have an application that creates some entries in the IE(Internet explorer) under LAN settings in the use automatic configuration script.
    Now when my application exits. It deletes the entries it made and only the default or older text should be there. And it should restore all the old settings. In order to achieve this first I am copying the value from registry before my application makes any
    entries by using RegQueryValueEx(hKey,L"AutoConfigURL",NULL,NULL,(BYTE*)buffer,&dwBufLen) and copying the value of AutoConfigURLfrom here to other place in registry.(I am creating new entries in registry for this). Post when my application exits
    I copy the AutoConfigURL string from the place where i backed up and restore back to IE settings. below is my code.:
    bool Timeout::CopyRegistryProxySettings(HKEY hKeyRoot, LPCWSTR lpSubKey)
    wchar_t buffer[MAX_PATH];
    DWORD dwBufLen;
    DWORD dwValue ;
    DWORD dwDataSize = sizeof(DWORD);
    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof buffer);
    dwBufLen = MAX_PATH;
    HKEY hKey;
    if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\BackupSettings\\Internet Settings", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
    if( ERROR_SUCCESS ==
    RegGetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\BackupSettings\\Internet Settings", L"AutoConfigURL", RRF_RT_REG_SZ, NULL, NULL, NULL))
    if(ERROR_SUCCESS == RegQueryValueEx(hKey,L"AutoConfigURL",NULL,NULL,(BYTE*)buffer,&dwBufLen))
    int len= lstrlen(buffer);
    buffer[len+1]='\0';
    int len1= sizeof(buffer);
    lstrcpy(AutoConfigURL,buffer);
    memset(buffer, 0, sizeof buffer);
    return 1;
    bool Timeout::RestoreNewRegistry (HKEY hKeyRoot, LPCWSTR Subkey)
    HKEY hKey;
    DWORD size = 0;
    DWORD type;
    DWORD data = 0;
    if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
    if( ERROR_SUCCESS ==
    RegGetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings", L"AutoConfigURL", RRF_RT_REG_SZ, NULL, NULL, NULL))
    RegSetValueEx(hKey, L"AutoConfigURL", NULL,REG_SZ,(BYTE*)AutoConfigURL, (DWORD)((lstrlen(AutoConfigURL)+1)*sizeof(TCHAR)));
    return 1;
    Now everything works as expected but the problem is that after running my application when i open IE it shows the error Page cannot be displayed .Please check the connection settings. I cross verified all the entries in the registry are correct post running
    the application but still facing this issue.
    On clicking fix my connection it shows windows could not detect automatically network proxies settings.
    Any work around for this.? Do we have any Windows API that can take back up of the registry and restore it states as usual back,  without copying the individual sub key values. What are the places in the registry where I should look for IE settings. For
    the above problem. Sorry if I made any mistake in asking question. Thanks In advance for help.

    Does your application works well if you don't use these apis and edit the registry manually?  This may give you some hints:

  • NEED INTERNET EXPLORER FIX FOR IWEB!!

    Hi everyone,
    I need some help. I know this post has come up many many times in the past and there is a lot of sites that have attempted to tackle this issue but I haven't found the solution and I need help!
    Basically, as much as I love Safari and all Mac applications, the site I've created is targeting a less tech savy demographic, which unfornuately is comprised of more internet explorer users.
    What I did:
    - My site is all flash based. I created the flash file through Adobe Flash Catalyst and uploaded the file to my web hosting via an FTP.
    - I used iWeb and used the HTML Snippet option and embed the code in it to access the flash file and make it run.
    - The site functions great on every browser EXCEPT Internet Explorer.
    I've heard that many people have used Dreamweaver to update the code to make it function, but the newer versions of Adobe Products are very confusing and cannot be bothered, unless there is a straight forward fix.
    Does anyone know of a tutorial guide or the code to make the site function on Internet Explorer?!?!?!?!
    If you would like to view my site and give me some feedback it is: www.uidesign.ca
    Thanks!
    - Art

    I solved my own problem and using Dreamweaver and creating just a basic html with embedded snippets that did the same think.

  • The new version of Firefox won't let me access the internet. How do I fix that? I hate Internet Explorer!

    On Saturday, 5/10/14, I was using Firefox at work with zero issues. I attended to work briefly, and when I looked back I saw the status bar saying my "add-ons" were being checked. Ever since then, Firefox WILL NOT connect to the internet, and I am forced to use Internet Explorer, and THAT jams more than I am willing to tolerate. I have no idea what actually was done, from a technical perspective. I tried system restore, and even found the link with the older versions of Firefox on it, but its all code, and way above what I know how to do with computers.

    hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

  • I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer?

    I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer? I was using Explorer 11 and Windows 7, installed on an HP Pavilion g series

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

    Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?

    First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
    For your problem:
    # [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
    # If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site.

  • My system needs internet explorer for a application I need to down load, however I need to down load the latest yahoo tool bar for internet explorer to work properly and firefox will not allow the down load of yahoo toolbar. How do I fix this?

    I have not used Internet explorer since downloading firefox and I need IE for a trading platform that I need to use. In order to get IE working I apparently need to down load the latest version of Yahoo toolbar, however when I try to down load the tool bar Firefox will not allow the down load of that file.

    Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

  • Symbols show up in Internet Explorer but not Firefox, how do I fix this?

    Symbols like ♡ or ★ (both of which I copy and pasted and can't see at all, they are just empty spaces without hex codes). I've installed the dejavu and symbola fonts but most symbols still do not show up. I tried checking on Internet Explorer and they show up there but not on Firefox, is there some way to fix this? Thank you.

    Having this problem too. I just purchased a new laptop 2-3 weeks ago: Windows 7, 64-bit, currently running FF 7.0.1. Both IE9 and Chrome display with no trouble.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters
    Most of the language tables are fine and the hex code boxes show up like they should for fonts I don't have versus just being blank. I see a TON of blank cells once I get to the Mathematical Operators table (~20% filled). Geometric Shapes is pretty sparse and there's almost nothing in Dingbats. I've verified that these are not blank in other browsers.
    Is this likely a FF7 bug? My previous laptop had no issues displaying these characters and I don't think I had updated from FF6 before switching to the new laptop.

  • Why does unchecking the "use automatic configuration script" box on Internet Explorer 8 fix connectivity errors?

    As long as I have been in the job and we have been using IE as our browser, we have controlled the proxy settings with an automatic configuration file.
    Recently, with IE8 on WinXP and Win7, we have had situations with the user getting various connectivity errors. By unchecking the "use automatic configuration script" box, they start working. But we don't change anything else.
    These error are not consistent from machine to machine.
    We are in a AD Domain environment
    These are the two errors I have documented.
    Error: 5
    Description: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    Access to resrouce is forbidden by server while attempting to access server at
    http://content.mpl.org/cgi-bin/admin/pwtest.exe?CISOVER=60.
    Please check the permissions to the file on th eserver.
    Two very different problems. Both somehow fixed by unchecking the box.
    The config file itself has not been changed in over a year.
    Can anyone explain why unchecking this box, but not making any other changes to the proxy settings would fix connectivity problems? These are all external sites that need to go through the proxy.
    Thanks.
