Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)
When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!
Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

Oops, my bad. Thanks for letting me know! :)
I've re-posted it here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/1a818501-296c-42fb-8abb-ba914629c962/launching-microsoft-access-from-internet-explorer-to-view-a-downloaded-mdb-file-opens-the-wrong-file?forum=ieitprocurrentver
Hopefully that's the right place for this.

Can't load Google Calendar. I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" but unchecking the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard. Google Calendar opens and works fine on my 12" PowerBook G4, but this is a recent problem on my G5 13" MacBook Pro. Mayday!

I imported my favorites from Internet Explorer, but how do I display "favorites" in the tool bar so I can access and organize them?
It did merge them after a fashion, glad I took a backup first even if I did only perhaps create 3 or 4 bookmarks today. So if I have bookmark separators, it's going to figure out which group to put them in (no way). Anyway I thought they would just go down to the bottom of the bookmarks menu like the other method, like when I export and import bookmarks in Firefox where they do go to the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder and would simply delete one folder.
Anyway this would not be typical because I don't want any bookmarks from IE. -
Pdf files unable to be downloaded from internet explorer
I have just purchased my first ipod nano, 4th generation. Since I have downloaded itunes to my computer I cannot view pdf files from internet explorer. I then removed itunes from the computer and pdf files could be downloaded from internet explorer. I then downloaded and installed itunes again and had the same problem all aver again. Could someone please tell me why this is happening.
Hi there mba,
Check out this thread, here a post from dansmith details the following steps:
"The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Run the HP Update Tool from Start Menu > All Programs > HP if your printer installs it, rebooting afterwards if necessary.
7) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out)."
Try his steps out and let us know if it helps. '
Best of Luck!

after a restart from being totally shut down (to save power) i have been unable to retrieve ANY of my bookmarks. I was only able to view some from a previous date by opening up internet explorer. All of my recently added favorites are lost somewhere in cyberspace. i have been using Firefox as my browser for quite some time now and definitely prefer it over IE. This is the first time i've had any real issues with firefox. Tried one of the suggestions (task manager, end firefox.exe process.....) but nothing has worked. Rebooting doesn't help either. I really want my favorites back -- trying to totally repopulate my list of favorites will take FOREVER!!!!!!! Plus, my memory probably won't remember what i've probably forgotten!

Error message from Internet Explorer v8.0.6
My Muse test site is currently on Business Catalyst. The url is http://wfax-test.businesscatalyst.com — my client says that they get an error message from Internet Explorer version 8.0.6 "MuseJSAssert: error calling selector function: error: a security problem occurred". The good news is that this only appears on the "Schedule" page of the site. Any idea what it could be? My client is afraid for me to put the site online because of this error message.
Hi Artby,
In your page, you have a link to "http://[email protected]//[email protected]" (Saturday Afternoon at 3:00). This link is technically a valid link, but I'm not sure it is what you intended. If you where looking to create an email there, you should remove the http:// in front of the link and Muse should properly create an email link. If you were trying to go to a website, I'd recommend you check the URL again to make sure you have it right.
The link is throwing a security error because we have to do some extra processing for some of our links, so we check each of the urls and try to determine if there is extra logic we need. In this case, this link is telling the browser you'd like to "login" to the site qemi.org with the username "apostle". IE 8, by default, will block us from reading information from this type of link in case there is a password, or in case we shouldn't know the username. It is a security measure (thus the error) and should pose no risk.
If you did intend to have that URL, then this won't quite work at the moment in Muse. To work around this, you could pull out this small snippet into a custom HTML element or something, which Muse won't try and process (though you'd need to remove the class "nonblock" from the link if you copy/pasted the Muse export code).
Hope that helps,
Andrew -

When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Why would this option be missing and is there a fix for this?
Hello Nigel.
Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
You can change their place from there too. -
WVC200 Camera and viewing from internet explorer
I am new to this, please be patient.
I have spent the day configuring this camera and have it working wirelessly from my network, desktop and laptop. My issue is that no one else can access the camera via internet explorer using the IP: 192.168.1.4. I believe I have port forwarded the correct port:1024. In Setup, Options I cannot check off Enable Alternate Port. If I do that and apply, then I cannot access the software on my port: 192.168.1.4 from internet explorer but I can from firefox using: 192.168.1.4:1024 but, then, of course, I cannot see the video but could change settings back.
Im pretty much lost...help, please.
Solved!
Go to Solution.You need to use alternate port in the camera and forward that port in the router. When you connect, even from your network the format is http:<IP>ort number.
For example http://192.168.1.45:1024
Actually I would use port 8000 as it seems to work better than 1024. -
How do I get Firefox to import ALL my bookmarks from Internet Explorer?
I've recently installed Firefox on my WXP computer, to replace IE. During installation, Firefox automatically put up a dialog offering to import all my bookmarks (i.e. Favourites) from IE, and I accepted. The resulting page confirmed that my bookmarks had been imported. However, on looking at the actual list of bookmarks "Imported from IE", I saw that the main Favourite headings had been imported in alphabetical order - which is fine - but that the import had stopped at the letter S. That meant that some important main Favourite headings (e.g. "Travel") hadn't been imported.
I then went to your tutorial pages and followed the instructions for "Importing Personal Data from Other Browsers", asking for just bookmarks to be imported from IE. What happened was that once again, FF imported only the Favourite titles up to initial S. (And now, furthermore, all the imported ones were duplicates of the ones already imported at set-up). Would you tell me, please, what I need to do to get the complete list of Favourites imported from IE?
Thanks a lot.

It seems that the JavaScript is blocked in IE.
I recommend to enable Scripting in IE to see if the issue still occurs.

Remove Office 2010 purchase message from internet explorer
I have a notebook and desktop computer and I use Windows Microsoft Office 2007, running Word, Excel, Publisher, Access etc, on both notebook and desktop computers with Norton 360
antivirus, both have used this system for the last 4 years.
Both computers came preloaded with Microsoft Office 2010 starter for Word and Excel which have never been used on either computer.
For the last couple of weeks every time I try to open any document on the notebook (this does not happen on the desktop) from Internet Explorer I get a Microsoft 2010 message saying ‘the Office product needed to open this file is not installed’ and offers
3 solutions: Activate office 2010; go online and purchase Office 2010; Try Office 2010 free for a limited time.
I have not used any of those options as I do not want to use Office 2010 and wish to continue with Office 2007, however there is no option to do so.
I can access Office 2007 manually on the computer but cannot open any document emailed or available online.
How do I get rid of this annoying notice coming up and et back to being able to use 2007 which has worked well for the previous years?Hi,
Do you install any updates before getting this error message?
According to your description, file type associations is missing maybe caused by installing September 2013 Update. After installing this update, you may be unable to open files by double-click then or
the file type icons have changed.
If so, we can try these methods to fix this issue.
Right-click the file, select Open with > Choose default program, to
restore the file type association to the correct Microsoft Office application.
In some cases, you may need to repair Office 2010 from Control Panel > Programs and Features.
For more detail reference:

I just downloaded Firefox 3.6 and followed the instructions for importing Favorites from Internet Explorer. Firefox said the import was successful, but the Favorites do not appear at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu (below "Mozilla Firefox") as shown in the Support instructions. Where can I access my Favorites?
You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).<br />
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
