Windows 8.1 IE 11 not working except on Adobe page. Please help!

I updated to Windows 8.1 IE 11. Since that time I have been told by several websites I need to get a flash player. I went to Adobe help page and did all it said. Adobe page is the only page my flash works perfectly.  My flash still does not work and now I am getting an error window that I do not understand. Error #2440? Not sure if I remembered that right. Also, just so you know I did try to change my browser. This actually made it worse. Any ideas that can help would be great. I am about five seconds away to playing baseball with this new computer!

The problem is the abomination called Internet Exploder 11.
Microsoft thought they were really being cool when the wrote the code for it, and the intentionally screwed up the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it.
Thansk to the "geniuses" <sacrasm intended> in Redmond, websites see IE11 as either a Gecko browser (Firefox) or a Webkit browser (Opera or Safari). Problem is since IE DOESN'T have that browser engine, the identification is false, and it totally screws everything else up. (See: IE11's User-Agent Strings).
Since the pages can't recognize the browser, they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. Personally, I hope this is what it finally takes for EVERYONE EVERYWHERE to realize what a massive pile of garbage IE is and always has been.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • My Iphone 5 has gone blank, I can not see anything. Restore with itunes has not worked either. Can someone please help?

    Hi I recently upgraed to iOS 6.1 on my Iphone 5. After the upgrade, it was all good. Over the weekend I went Austria for Ski. While taking the photos, I simply locked the phone and kept it my pocket as I had to go. After sometime when I opened my phone, I could hardly see anything. I tried to unlock with pin and tried restarting with great difficulty. But nothing worked. Coming back home today, I have tried restore the software and still no luck. I have tried restore almost 5 to 6 times, but the screen is still blank. I dont know if what state it is in and I can not do anything to fix it. I am very annoyed with the support service as they can not be reached on Sunday evening.
    I could manage to book a call tomorrow but I have lot of work over next few days at work. Can someone please help how to fix this issue now? Any suggestions will be much apperciated.
    Thanks,

  • Volume control(s) will not work on my I Book please help !

    * INFO: White 2003 G4 I Book PowerPC 1.07GHz 256 MB Safari 3.2.1 133MHZ
    !!! PLEASE HELP ME !!!
    I'm going nuts here...
    This morning everything on my old 2003 white I Book was great. It was operating VERY fast and fine.
    I turned on my computer this morning, everything worked great, and I was reading things on the Net just fine.
    I then saw there was a "Software Update", two of them actually, they were a "Security Update", and also a "Java For Mac 10.4 Release 8".
    I downloaded both of them successfully through the Software Update feature.
    After doing that I restarted my computer, and everything seemed okay.
    But now the audio on my computer is gone, or messed up somehow. NO it is NOT on mute. The volume says it is on full blast, but there is no volume at all.I played YouTube videos, I tried a regular physical audio CD, I tried radio from the internet, all no sound. I tried disconnecting my speakers, I tried a full restart, I "verified preferences" and "repaired preferences", and I also put in my Tiger original disc and booted from that and ran "First Aid"... none of these have worked.
    When you click the little volume button(s) up/down from the keyboard it simply shows all volume bars to the full "all the way loud position", and a circle with the diagonal line through it just underneath that.
    I looked around in System Preferences in "Sound" and saw nothing wrong there from what I could tell.
    I have no idea what to do and am very frustrated and do NOT want to have to redo my whole computer from the very beginning again with the Tiger disc, I have already done that 3 times in the last two years.I know this must have something to do with the Software Updates I did this morning.
    Anyone ?

    Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and done a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.
    [Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214]
    [Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672]
    [Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
    From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
    Many of us do not let Software Update do updates. We download them from Apple and install them one by one, verifying the drive and repairing permissions before and after with Disk Utility, testing between each update. And, of course, backing up the drive completely before hand should something go wrong. We can then restore in a matter of minutes.

  • ToolTip_Text not working in multi - record block - Please Help!!

    Dear Friends & Gurus,
    I'm using Forms Version 6.0.8.21.3 (due to many reasons) in C/S mode. Now I have a multi record block in which I am showing the Employee No. My customer's requirement is when I place the mouse on this Emp no., the emp. name must be displayed. I thought of achieving this by ToolTip_text. For this I'm having a Database function which returns the name (as I use this functionality in many forms), in the When-New-Item-Instance block level trigger I'm calling that function with passing the emp code as below
    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM, TOOLTIP_TEXT, FUNC_DIS_EMP_NAME(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_VALUE));But it is working only when I point the mouse in the first record. When I click on 3 or 4 record and then point to the first record, I'm getting the 3 record's name but in the first record.
    Please help me - I searched through the forum and I find no accurate answer. It is urgent - please help.
    Thank you.
    With Kind Regards,
    Perumal Senthil Alagu.

    Dear Safwan Bhai,
    As salaamo alaikum Rahamatulla hi burakathu!!
    Actually I'm having a multi record block in which all the emp no., days of attendance, etc will be displayed when I click on the search button. My requirement is when point the mouse over the emp no, the emp name must be displayed as a Tool tip text. My fields are non-editable, so Post-Change is not working. I placed the coding in the When-new-item-instance - in this case the emp name is displayed, but only for the first field, when I move the mouse to second and third fields, the empname of that particulart field is displayed as a tool tip but in the first field only.
    Any other suggestions?
    Anyway I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you.
    With Kind Regards,
    Perumal Senthil Alagu.

  • Bbm not working , EDGE is captial . PLEASE HELP

    i am having this trouble since last three days! my EDGE shows in captials but bbm is not working and i cant access the app store too. airtel is the service provider, they are having no answers, they made me change sim card to a new one. 
    PLEASE HELP.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should ring up your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Media Manager not working with new Verizon Curve, Please Help...

    Close to returning my new Curve. The Roxio Media Manager will not recognize my Curve at all. I have tried everything, read every post and still nothing. Using version 4.3 of Desktop Manager with Vista Home Premium. Someone please help...
                                                            Thanks for any help

    Same issue here.  Contacted Verizon tech support, they had me reinstall media manager -- which did nothing.  They had me try disabling mass media support and the media card support.  Neither which worked.  After 90minutes on the phone, the tech was contacting their "advanced support department" to get more info.  I got fed up and hung up.  Maybe they will call me back -- who knows.
    The tech said that they might have to contact RIM to get it fixed.  I am thinking verizon inadvertantly blocked media transferring -- like they do on all of their other phones.  However, VCAST is not available on Blackberry phones for Verizon, so it is a stupid idea if they did it.

    Kindly, help me out.
    Warm regards,

    Hello TanbirSingh,
    You’re having a problem with the fingerprint reader not working.
    Go into device manager and uninstall the Biometric device. Don’t restart the computer.
    Go to HP.com and update the Fingerprint reader, this will be the newest driver.
    Here is a link to the update.
    Also update the BIOS to make sure that the device is being detected.
    Here is the link to the BIOS.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • Internet Not Working on 3rd Party Network (Please help!!!)

    Hey guys,
    Cool forum. Hopefully cool enough to solve this weird problem.
    I own a BlackBerry Tour and live in Sweden part of the year. Since I put the 3rd party SIM in my phone and activated the account, I cannot get internet to work. I can use BIS services etc., but browsing the internet does not work....when I try it says "Could not connect tog the internet, please try again".
    The weird thing is that sometimes I can browse google etc. through the BlackBerry Help! app...but other apps don't work. I'm thinking maybe it has to do with APN settings?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!
    Mitchell
    Ps! BTW, I have tried all the usuals....resetting, pulling battery, resending service books, host routing tables...the problem is with WAP, not BIS.
