Weird Internet Explorer problem!

Something really stranged has happened to my computer within the past couple of hours. I use IE 5 (yeah, I know...I am hopelessly out of date, but it has all my bookmarks and preferences and I like the way it functions much better than any other browser I've tried...). A little while ago I was doing some surfing and I guess something I did--some page I visited?--caused my Command key to be tied in to Subscriptions. I don't understand how this could be, but it's true. If I want to do something like copy + paste, or something else I might normally use the Command key for, I can't do it. Instead, my pushing the Command key causes a window to pop up asking if I wish to subscribe to the site in question. (Actually, at first, whenever I pushed Command, my subscriptions were updated, so I went in and deleted all my subscriptions, but that didn't take care of the underlying problem.)
I am not particularly computer literate. For instance, I can't even tell you what the bar across the top of my screen is called (the one that starts on the left with the Apple logo, followed by File, Edit, View, Go, etc.). But I can tell you that that bar, when I'm in IE, is fouled up. After "Go," there is a bunch of garbled stuff that reads, approximately (I can't type all the symbols), "p[symbols]>Favorites[symbol]AddPagetoFavoritesD[checkmark]OrganizeFavorites[bu nch of other symbols ending in a black apple]Update Su." Then the bar continues with Tools, Window, and Help. When I click on that bar and the dropdown menu appears, it is some weird, mangled, unusable version of my bookmarks. However, if I use the Favorites tab on the left side of the window, my bookmarks are there and usable.
I've poked all around in Help and Preferences and, not surprisingly, cannot find any way to undo this. (I'd be amazed if I actually found something telling me what to do if my Command key brings up my subscription window!) It's really unfortunate because, as I said, I like IE and this is making it pretty hard for me to use it, since I can't do anything involving the Command key.
Have any of you ever encountered this? It is about the weirdest thing my computer has ever done!
imac Mac OS 9.2.x IE 5

Hmmmm. Are you getting problems with disappearing
words in the menu in IE alone? How about other
programs or when you open your HD - any strangeness
with the titles in the windows?
It seems only to be in IE. By the way, I also have a Mozilla browser on my computer, which I installed because so many sites were simply not working with IE anymore. Mozilla is working fine. If I liked Mozilla as well as IE, I'd just use that, but it has numerous differences (mostly about commands and things like not being able to click and hold on an image or page to open it in a new window) and 9 times out of 10 I prefer the IE way of doing things (though that could mostly be habit).
IIRC, Microsoft is set to remove Internet Explorer
for Mac from it's website VERY soon..
Yeah, I think in April. It's too bad--IE for Mac has become the unwanted stepchild browser.Yahoo doesn't work with it (at least, not the version I have), and I frequently get alerts when I go to sites that tell me my experience won't be optimal since I'm using IE. But I really like it! I use Safari at work (I have OS X there) and, like Mozilla, it has various differences that bug me, plus it just looks strange--somehow less "live" than IE--as if I am looking at a PDF of a web page rather than the actual page.
In a pinch, there's also iCab which is a wonderful
browser that is still being developed for OS 9.

Thanks for the tip. But with an unusual browser like that, don't you get the same warnings all over the net about how this or that site doesn't support your browser?

Portal and Internet Explorer problem

Hi everyone. My problem is that I'm using Portal through the WEB AS Java stack SP09 and i can't update to the newer stacks since I'm on IDES system, so it has to be SP09. Well, my operating system Win 2003 x64 comes with Internet explorer 8 by default.
i have some problems with IE8, Chrome or FireFox when browsing through the Portal, for example, I can't add to the Group "Everyone" End user permissions, because the "ADD" button is greyed out.
I tried to uninstall the IE8, but i can't find the way to do it. I can't remove it through the Control panel (there is no option to remove it)
nor can I do it through the Command Line with %windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe because I don't have the IE8 folder!!
Do you have any ideas on how could i solve it?

Thank you guys for the answers, but
1/ I can't upgrade the SP lever, since I'm on IDES system and I don't have any Maintenance Certificates to installa packages, besides the fact that they have to be dowloaded through the Solution manager
2/ I tries the compatibility mode and nothings's changed. The problem I'm having is that when I'm in the Portal and do a right-click for example in PortalContent > landscapesystem > SAP_BW. it opens the Internet Explorer menu and not the Portal's, so I can't choose "new" or "open" or "permissions" and when i doble click it the drop-down menu that appears where I could choos the same options is too narrow and empty.....
i donwgraded finally the IE to the IE7 version, but no luck either. i tried to install the IE6, but there is no IE6 version for x64 bits systems.
Any other suggestions? How could i make this context menu available?

Adobe PDF direct open in internet explorer problem

Hi all,
I have a problem when I want do download a pdf byte stream created by Jasper Reports. I read the necessary information out of my formbean (Struts). Here's the code from the jsp:
response.setContentType(runReportForm.getContentType());
String filename = runReportForm.getTechName() + "." + runReportForm.getMode();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename='" + filename + "'\"");
byte[] bytes = runReportForm.getBytesOutput();
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
try {
        ouputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
        ouputStream.flush();
     ouputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}The content type for PDF is "application/pdf" or "application/octet-stream", of course.
Normally, it should open a download dialog with the question "Open" and "Save". In this download dialog is the Adobe icon displayed, too.
But in my case, I get the dialog with an empty (like unknown file format) icon, but the text says "Adobe Acrobat Document". When I click to open it directly it will open in a separately Adobe Acrobat window instead of displaying in the internet explorer. (Saving to the hard disk works fine).
Of course I have set the setting "display inside browser" in the options of my Acrobat Reader.
The same procedure with Excel (content type "application/vnd.ms-excel") makes no problems.
Thanks for any help.
Manuel

If you want to open the PDF in the browser you have to explicitely set the content type to "application/pdf", if you use "application/octet-stream" you'll always get the download box and when you choose to open from this box the reader will be used because the reader is configured to open PDF documents in the windows filetypes settings.

Internet Explorer problems

I'm having a problem with the flash player in Internet
Explorer. I've removed all older versions and installed version 9
(ActiveX).
If I open Adobe's Home Page all I see in the box where the
animations supposed to be is a black box.
If I directly goto this URL:
L=FMA.swf]http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/swf/homepage/fma_shell/FMA.swf[/L]
the animation displays correctly.

When I click on the touchscreen icon for the internet explorer on my start menu it automatically opens the desktop one which I DON'T want to open.
It's a setting in Internet Options. Clear the box.
PS Always tell us which Satellite C55t you have when you post here. See the label on the bottom.

HP Presario internet explorer problems

I have a HP Presario NY541AA-ABA. I used to be able to view bills on their website, now for some reason when I click on them a window pops up and says internet explorer is not working and shuts down. If anyone can help I would appreciate any feedback to get this issue resolved.

Hello mayberry02, What banhien was trying to determine, is which operating system and which Internet browser you are using.
If you are using Internet Explorer, you may want to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9, it you have not done so already.
If you are using Internet Explorer 9, you may want to reset Internet Explorer back to the default settings.

Jakarta Commons FileUpload ; Internet Explorer Problem

Hi all,
Environment:
Tomcat 5 ;Apache 2; JDK 1.5.0; Jakarta Commons Fileupload 1.0
OS: Windoze XP
Previously I've used jakarta commons fileupload package to succussfully to upload a file.
However, I am trying to check the content type of the file and throw an exception if its not a jpeg file. The following code works great when I use firefox. But it fails when I use Internet Explorer!
When I supply an existing jpg file on my desktop as the input to the HTML form, the code works fine. However if I enter a non-existing jpg filename, I get a "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error"! I expect to get the "Wrong content type!" message (which my JSP throws as an exception and should be caught by the error page). This problem happens only with Internet Explorer. With firefox, I get the "Wrong Content Type" message as expected.
What could be the problem? Please advise.
Thanks
Joe.

BI Internet Explorer problem.

Hi, I have look around the forum but I don't find definitive answer to the solution of my problem. When I use internet explorer to login to BI I'm able to login but when I click on something else the login screen comes out again. This only happen to IE but not firefox. BTW I install oracle BI in win 2003 environment. The thing is I install in my laptop using winxp and I use IE it did not do this. Any Idea? Thx

Problem is the name of the computer in the url. Change it to the IP address. For example: http://my_computer/analytics -> http://10.200.230.1/analytics.

Save the code below as customer_order.php and change:
// recipient
$to = "[email protected]";
This will send the information to your email address if all the required fields are filled in. The fields you dont want validated remove them from the code - for instance remove the below if you do NOT want to validate the Special Requirements form field:
$Special_Requirements = trim($_POST['Special_Requirements']);
if(empty($Special_Requirements)) {
$error['Special_Requirements'] = "Please provide any Special Requirements";
Change the below if the email is sent to point to a page which informs the sender the order has been successfully sent:
header ('Location: order_sent_successfully.php');

<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit' , $_POST)) {
$Company = trim($_POST['Company']);
if(empty($Company)) {
$error['Company'] = "Please Provide Company Name";
$Tel_Number = trim($_POST['Tel_Number']);
if(empty($Tel_Number)) {
$error['Tel_Number'] = "Please Telephone Number";
$Email_Address = trim($_POST['Email_Address']);
// check for valid email address
$pattern = '/^[^@]+@[^\s\r\n\'";,@%]+$/';
if (!preg_match($pattern, trim($Email_Address))) {
$error['Email_Address'] = 'Please Enter a Valid Email Address';
$Delivery_Date = trim($_POST['Delivery_Date']);
if(empty($Delivery_Date)) {
$error['Delivery_Date'] = "Please Provide Deliver Date";

Adobe Standard 8.0 Internet Explorer problem

After I install AS 8.0, the license agreement won't pop up and instead the "Internet Explorer cannot continue". There is connection to the internet so that's not the problem. I cannot use adobe 8.0, but 6.0 I can.

I have the same problem. A window tries to open, then reverts to IE saying there is no connection to the internet. I close this window and another windows opens saying that the license agreement was not accepted so the application will close. Have uninstalled twice and disabled firewall but still the same.

Internet Explorer problem

I have finally been successful in installing HTMLDB 1.6 on 10g. Now, when I try to run the sample application I get "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Then I get a dialog box saying that explorer will close. At that point, if I dont press OK, and switch back to the sample application, it actually works. What is going on?
I am using IE 6
Thanks,

Weird Internet Explorer Issue: Elements not in place after going live

Has anyone run into this? I am working on my elements and pages in Dreamweaver (CS5) and they are now live at:
http://www.blackcreekisc.com/TEST/index.html
Unfortunately, sometimes in internet explorer the elements are nowhere near where they should be. I have to click "refresh" several times to get them to "jump" back where they should be. The frequency and elements that are out of place is not consistent. This is very strange and frustrating. Can anyone help?

Rock On! I found what seems to be a fix for the "jumping" problem. Forcing
the browser to open in IE7 with the meta tag:
DOES fix the jumping problem. It does open up a can of slightly lesser
paragraph placement issues, but these are mild comparitively.

Nokia N95 8gb Internet Explorer problem!

Hi all! I have nokia n95 8gb and let one of my friends use it to surf the net. Now when I try to work on the internet explorer, the connection keeps dropping off. I have checked and it's not my router which is the cause of it. Unfortunately my firewall and antivirus protection was not on while I gave my friend my phone to use. I have scanned the phone and nothing is coming up in the antivirus scan. There seems to be this message that comes up every so often when I am working on internet explorer and it's as following:
"/c:/system/dmgr/1008d39/contents/st.."
I am afraid there might be some malicious file that got downloaded onto my phone. Not too sure as to what is happening. If anyone has experienced a similar problem or can help me with this problem then I would really appreciate the help.

So I have been going through my history to find out what pages were opened that day and found out that the file 'st' is automatically downloading only when I open any livejournal page and then it diverts to the '\c:\system\dmgr\...' message. I have downloaded and run the KMS antivirus software but it doesn't pick anything up. All other websites that I visit are fine but when I open livejournal the 'st' file automatically starts downloading and then diverts to the page along with disconnecting from the WLAN.
I have downloaded the y-browser and deleted the respective file from c drive but everytime I try to access livejournal, that file starts up again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I should try to deal with this? I would really appreciate the help. Cheers!

Dreamweaver Internet Explorer problems

I am having the issue with my website, www.green-scouts.org, where it will view fine in Firefox and Safari but not in Internet Explorer. I am new to Dreamweaver so coding it foreign. Any suggestions would help. Thanks

All the images are CMYK JPGs which Internet Explorer does not recognize. Never use CMYK mode for web images. It's for print only.
Go back to your image editor (Photoshop?) and re-save them all as RGB JPGs (in Photoshop: Image > Mode > RGB Color)

Quicktime internet explorer problems

When i click on an mp3 sample link in internet explorer it opens it in the same window with quicktime.
Is there any way of reverting this back to the way I had it (winamp)?
Hope you can help
Chris

It sounds like what happened is QuickTime set itself as the default player for MP3 files.
One method to fix it is as follows -
1) Open Windows Explorer
2) Goto the Tools Menu -> Select Folder Options
3) Goto the File Types Tab, Click it
4) Search for the MP3 Extension
5) Once located, click it, and click Change
6) Find WinAmp in the List and Press OK (Or Browse and find where WinAmp.exe is installed)
7) Click close, close any other open windows.
Should be fixed!

Weird Internet Connection Problem

I did a couple of mac updates yesterday (itunes, system stability update, quicktime, safari 4, ect. I am using 10.5.7 Leopard)
Now my internet is extremely slow. I have tried everything from resetting the router to fooling around with the network settings on the laptop..no luck
Then I stumbled upon a thread on this forum that says a quick "repair disk permissions" might fix the problem.... and it did, but only until I restart os x then back to slow speeds....
So as it stands now every time I restart I have to run repair disk permissions if I want my internet to work properly.
How do I make the repair permanent ?
Thanks!!

Type this into Safari's url bar...
17.254.3.183
if it gets you to Apple, then I think your ISP is having DNS problems, so might try putting these in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Try Safari Menu Empty Caches too, if that doesn't help.
