Internet explorer will open Automatically

Hi,
One of my user have windows vista Home basic- SP2. Internet explorer will open Automatically at 10:00 AM. i have block third party cookies and clear the Add-on's still it same issue. can you help me how to fix this issue.

Hi,
Start>Windows Update
review their Windows Update settings....
change to automatically install updates. Usually updates are installed once a month, but they may have scheduled WU to check daily...
or
Start>Task Scheduler... check for any scheduled tasks that run at that time.
a hint may be obtained by looking at what web address that IE is trying to open.
When asking internet related questions its helpful if you include the full address of any websites that you are having issues with.
Some web browser addons place entries in the Windows Startup list and are not disabled when you disable them from an IE Reset....
Home Versions of Windows do not have the MSConfig utility which you would use to disable windows startup items. You will have to manually look for rogue entries in the Registry....HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\current version
To test if there is a malware entry in the windows startup list...reboot the machine into Safe Mode with networking and leave it running overnight. If IE is running when you come in in the morning, then you know there is a malware item in the startup list...
Commonly the GoogleToolbarUpdater.exe may be running.... you may be able to see if its active in the Tasks Manager's Processes tab.
Regards.

Since I updated Firefox, MySpace radio no longer opens. Internet Explorer will open the radio. Does Firefox block this Myspace feature?

Also, 'Help Menu' on Myspace won't open or appears in a very small space across the top of the screen. Editing functions e.g. 'Manage Videos' also does not work, but works fine in Internet Explorer.

It shouldn't be blocking Myspace. Could you try to clear the cache and see if that solves the problem? See this article for instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cache-delete-temporary-files-fix-issues?s=clear+site&r=5&e=es&as=s

Uninstall IE8
I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox. I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux. It definitely is more responsive. Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago. FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

Microsoft Internet Explorer will disable all Active X objects

I wonder if Macromedia have an offical response to this?
Basically, all future versions of Internet Explorer will disable
the active x flash player!!!
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedfaq.html

> Jeckyl...Simple solution or not, your "so what-big deal"
response to this
> is
> cavalier.
I never made a 'what-big deal' response. Read my reply again.
I explained that it requires work from you as a web developer
to ensure your
site works seamlessly with Internet Explorer (as it now is).
My response
was, rather, a 'whether you like it or not' response .. and
that's simply
how it is.
> I stand by my comment about a border around my Flash
objects.
You mean your flippant remark about adding them yourself if
you wanted it?
That simply shows your complete ignorance of the issue. The
change was not
so you would have an automatic border around activex objects
.. that's not
the point of it, its just a side-effect of the change
required to prevent IE
infringing the stupid EOLAS patent.
> You dismiss it as if it's nothing.
No .. YOU were dismissing it as nothing (or almsot monthing)
.. as just a
border around your control. Its a much bigger issue than such
a
trivialising remark suggests.
> It is not a silly comment...it's reality.
Indeed .. and you under-stated the nature of the reality of
the effects of
the change. Obviosuly you don't see it as big a deal as it
really is.
> I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I am busy and I don't
want to waste time
> FIXING
> a problem created by someone else. Obviously I have no
choice.
Exactly .. NOONE wants to have been placed in this situation.
NOONE is
happy about it (least of all Microsoft).
So now you have to do some work to remove the border you
don't want. Tough
.. complaining about how you don't like it isn't at all
helpful.
> Apparently some people have lots of play-time on their
hands.
No .. we are all in the same boat .. we just don't make
flippant remarks
about it.
And .. despite your attitude, I will give you the link to a
page that lists
the simple solutions as well as links to the more complex
'official'
solutions.

Internet explorer will not load

my internet explorer will not load, i just get a spinning beachball and could anyone have any suggestions as my dvd i purchased mastering os x panther requires ie. thank you gb foley.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Just use a different browser. Are the files on the DVD just HTML files? If so, then right click on the HTMl file (Control-Click if you don't have a two button mouse) and pick Open With... and point it to another browser. Firefox, Camino (what I currently use), Opera, etc.

Setup system check says internet explorer is open when it's not

When I get to the setup screen (for the trial version of Illustrator), the first thing is system check. It says my internet explorer is open, and it's not. I've closed all programs that use internet including all of my antivirus and spyware, my vista sidebar, etc. I've opened task manager, gone into processes and tried to end the internet processes but they show up a second later. They just won't close! I've messed with my automatic startup programs, and that didn't work either. I've taken my ethernet cable out and tried that. Nothing works. Anybody know what's going on?

Does the performance tab of Task Manager show abnormally high CPU usage even when you have nothing running?
You might have some piece of malware doing nasty stuff. What's showing up as iexplore.exe in Task Manager is probably not Internet Explorer at all.
Update all your antivirus and spyware definitions and run thorough scans.
Do a Google search with keyphrase 'internet explorer constantly running,' and you'll turn up some discussions with links to malware removal tools.

Why can't I get some of my Yahoo newsfeed stories to open but yet on Internet Explorer they open just fine?

I've tried to read some of the stories sliding across my screen but some just come up a blank page, but yet on Internet Explorer, they open up just fine. I've got the latest version of Mozilla also.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Yahoo mail will not let me download an attachment But Internet Explorer will!

When using FireFox with yahoo mail I can not download an attachment on an e-mail but Internet explorer will!

As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.
Transfer purchases.

Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

Internet Explorer will not open a password-protected webpage

I've asked this question in the General Discussion forum but
did not find a solution. I am using DW8.0.2 / MySQL 4.1 / PHP5.1 to
create PHP login and restricted access webpages. Locally (i.e.
Windows XP / IIS5.0), they all function properly no matter what
browser I use. However, on my ISP's server that running Linux /
Apache, Internet Explorer 6.x or 7.x will not open the
password-protected webpages - all the other php pages open and
function properly. I can use Opera, Netscape, or Firefox and the
pw_protected webpages open fine - just not in IE.
I've tried cookies on / off, popup blocker on / off, and
changed my PHP login scripting - all to no avail. Any one have any
ideas why IE won't open a PHP-scripted pw-protected webpage while
all other browsers can?

Thanks for your suggestion. I've added the site to IE's
Trusted Zone... but no luck. And to test further, I've turned off
EVERY 'disable' feature I could in IE and still no joy.
Could the problem be how IE proceses (or doesn't process) my
PHP logon scripts and possibly does not pass the session on to
Apache (the server is a Linux box running Apache)? I'm enclosing my
scripts for review and hopefully for a discovery of why this is
happening only in IE and not the other browsers.
Here is my logon script:
<?php
// *** Start the session
session_start();
// *** Validate request to log in to this site.
$FF_LoginAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']) &&
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']!="") $FF_LoginAction .=
"?".htmlentities($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']);
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Username'])) {
$FF_valUsername=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Username'];
$FF_valPassword=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Password'];
$FF_fldUserAuthorization="Status";
$FF_redirectLoginSuccess="bulletin_edit.php";
$FF_redirectLoginFailed="access_error.html";
$FF_rsUser_Source="SELECT Username, Password ";
if ($FF_fldUserAuthorization != "") $FF_rsUser_Source .= ","
. $FF_fldUserAuthorization;
$FF_rsUser_Source .= " FROM tblaccess WHERE Username='" .
$FF_valUsername . "' AND Password='" . $FF_valPassword . "'";
mysql_select_db($database_leathernecks, $leathernecks);
$FF_rsUser=mysql_query($FF_rsUser_Source, $leathernecks) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_FF_rsUser = mysql_fetch_assoc($FF_rsUser);
if(mysql_num_rows($FF_rsUser) > 0) {
// username and password match - this is a valid user
$MM_Username=$FF_valUsername;
session_register("MM_Username");
if ($FF_fldUserAuthorization != "") {
$MM_UserAuthorization=$row_FF_rsUser[$FF_fldUserAuthorization];
} else {
$MM_UserAuthorization="";
session_register("MM_UserAuthorization");
if (isset($accessdenied) && false) {
$FF_redirectLoginSuccess = $accessdenied;
mysql_free_result($FF_rsUser);
session_register("FF_login_failed");
$FF_login_failed = false;
header ("Location: $FF_redirectLoginSuccess");
exit;
mysql_free_result($FF_rsUser);
session_register("FF_login_failed");
$FF_login_failed = true;
header ("Location: $FF_redirectLoginFailed");
exit;
?>
And here is the script that appears on each restricted
webpage:
<?php
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this
page
$FF_authorizedUsers=" edit";
$FF_authFailedURL="access_error.html";
$FF_grantAccess=0;
session_start();
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_Username"])) {
if (false ||
!(isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) ||
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"]=="" ||
strpos($FF_authorizedUsers,
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) {
$FF_grantAccess = 1;
if (!$FF_grantAccess) {
$FF_qsChar = "?";
if (strpos($FF_authFailedURL, "?")) $FF_qsChar = "&";
$FF_referrer = "Restricted Area";
$FF_authFailedURL = $FF_authFailedURL . $FF_qsChar .
"accessdenied=" . urlencode($FF_referrer);
header("Location: $FF_authFailedURL");
exit;
?>
Any ideas, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

In trying to install Flash Player, the installation won't complete and I receive an error message saying Internet Explorer needs to be closed. I do not have any instances of IE open. How can I get the program to complete the installation?

It's not an "officially" supported browser for Flash Player.

Internet Explorer is opening itself with blank pages

About two weeks ago, I was on my laptop when my buddy thought it to be funny when he started pressing a number of random keys on my keyboard. When he did this my computer screen froze and I had to restart the computer. When it came back on I tired to get
onto Internet Explorer. I opened it and it came up a blank page, and wouldn't let me put anything into the address bar and nothing but a white screen comes up.
Now two weeks later the Internet Explorer page is popping up on it's own and the page is still blank. Plus the pages are popping up about five at a time. This is become a very frustrating issue, especially since I just got this laptop a couple months ago.
Is there anything that I can do to fix this issue without having to take it somewhere? I'm not very IT capable, but I now normally enough to get through small issue, but not this time. Any help would be great!

Do you have other browsers, same issue were found on these browses or only IE was faced with this issue.
First run a security scan. If nothing was detected, reset IE for a test.
You can also go to Control Panel->Action Center->Troubleshooting->View All
Then choose Internet Explorer Performace in the list (it is not included in some windows versions). It will begin to fix you IE. if it doesn’t correct, please paste the diag repot here.
Check Event Viewer to find related error information.

Internet Explorer not opening?

To reset internet explorer 8....
1. Go to START
2. In the search bar, type INETCPL.CPL
3. On the advanced tab, on the bottom, there is a 'reset' button. Click there.
This will reset IE to factory settings and it will now work.

Tell us what they say. Thankfully, we're able to solve it by resetting IE, and it's not happening on all machines. It seems most prevaliant on IE8 with Windows 7 64-bit (in otherwords, newer machines).
Unfortunately, if you have this problem, you can't view this post unless you have an alternate browser (Firefox, Chrome), which makes it rather pointless to post - but hopefully, word will spread. Lots of lurkers here.
