Windows 8 Internet explorer only- an error occured

I am using windows 8. NOT 8.1. I have tested flash player in firefox and chrome. They both work fine. The only browser with a problem is, of course, microsoft's internet explorer. I have the latest version of everything. I have tried uninstalls and reinstalls. I have checked to make sure activex filtering is off and that the flash player add-ons are enabled. Please, if you have any thoughts, let me know.

Windows 8 is far from the best thing Microstuff ever released. I can't stand it myself. (Being a Mac user makes me appreciate it even less)
8.1 is worse. Be glad you don't have it. I did for a while and it was hell. I had to reformat my laptop to get rid of it and I've blocked the update notification with a registry key, so it CAN'T even be offered anymore..
I've never been a fan of Internet Exploder. I used Netscape in 1998. I switched to Opera in 2000, and Mozilla (now Firefox) in 2002. I have IE for testing purposes ONLY amd I would NEVER consider using it as my everyday browser. It's unsafe, full of security holes, slower than molasses in January and it's not even compatible with most 2007 web standards... this is 2014. ANYTHING ELSE would be an imporvement.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE won't, using 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.

Windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9

I have windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9. When i open pdf files from a website i cannot save the document. I don't get an error message, it just does not open.

Have you tried capturing these application in separate packages? I have been successful in capturing IE8 in one package and Adobe Reader XI in another package and then using the OptionalAppLinks option in the IE8 package to point to the Adobe Reader dat file. Just make sure that both packages work outside of the applinking. Also, you can try to install Adobe to the native machine and see if the embedded pdfs work in the virtual IE package.
These are just the troubleshooting steps that I would take to narrow down what is causing the issue you are seeing.

How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
The web site that I'm trying to access
There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Enable the Develop menu.
Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7

Maximize the oracle forms window in internet explorer

hi to all,
how can maximize the oracle forms window in internet explorer? my current display setting is 1280x1024. im using forms 10g r1
pls. i need your help.

It's probably important to know that although you can command the forms_mdi window to maximize, it won't actually "maximize". It will remain in the "normal"state. This is a current limiation that can likely only be overcome with a custom java bean.

URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

Hello SAP community,
I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos

Hi all,
I think I found the solution.
The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
Best regards

Title Format Issues Since Upgrade to Windows XP Internet Explorer 8

Users' old PCs: Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 6
Users' new PCs: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8
My users are having a problem with the title layout of their Discoverer Plus reports ever since they had thies PC upgraded from Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 6 to Windows XP Internet Explorer 8. One aspect of their titles is that they have an &parameters in the title. The values for this one paramater has dozens and dozens of paramater values. For example: Project # 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.......87. That's what they want to appear in their title screen, all those project #s. The core of the problem is this list of values going across their title screen is no longer wrapping to the next line since they moved to XP IE 8. It's forcing this long list of project #s to be all on one line (cutting off the list of projects when it reaches the end of the page).
When my users were on Windows 2000 Internet Explorer 6, the project values would wrap to the next line without any problem (creates 4 or 5 lines of project #s). They have been having the title issue since their PCs have been upgraded to Windows XP Internet Explorer 8. When I edit the header from a 2000 IE6 machine (where it works from), the font is Arial. But, if I edit the header on an XP IE8 machine the font says dialog and the wrapping doesn't work. If I try to change the font to Arial, hit ok, nothing changes and it seems to reset back to dialog when I go back in to edit.
Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?
Thanks!

Hi
Not all versions of Discoverer are certified for use with IE8. You will find this note on Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html) very useful: 233047.1
In there it states that only Discoverer 11g and Discoverer 10g (patched up to 10.1.2.3) are certified with IE8. Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.2 and earlier) is certified for IE6 and IE7 but not IE8 and Oracle has no plans to certify 10.1.2.2 with IE8.
Older releases of Discoverer, prior to 10.1.2, are generally only certified for IE6.
Best wishes

Is there vi that can close Windows 7 Internet Explorer?

Greetings,
I develop LabVIEW executables for internal use. We have a very loose IT policy. When our techs are running my LabVIEW programs, I want Windows 7 Internet Explorer disabled, or closed when the LabVIEW executable is running. I am thinking that there must be a way to have LabVIEW look for any open Internet Explorer Windows, and close them every 10 seconds or so. Any ideas of how to accomplish this?
Thanks, Alan

This will not stop an Internet Explorer that's been launched by the user. It only applies to an embedded IE ActiveX control.
Stop IE Browser Windows Service.
What IE Browser Windows service? There is no such thing.
To OP: You can:
Use System Exec to kill any currently running iexplore.exe processes using the kill command. Or you could just blindly send this periodically.
You could use the Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW to check if an Internet Explorer window is open (though this may not be robust since it depends on the window name) and then close that window.
You could uninstall IE.
Of course, this won't stop somebody from using Firefox, or using an app-on-a-stick approach by putting a browser like Firefox or Chrome on a USB stick.
Usually in these cases education goes farther than you trying to prevent somebody from running something like a web browser.

Touch Screen windows 8 internet explorer

Then the 2nd one is the the apps start window, this internet explorer is the new version for easy touch screen use.

Windows 7 Internet Explorer doesn't open (no error shown)

With the latest set of updates, around 4-5 days ago, a new problem developed which I haven't seen discussed anywhere. Internet explorer doesn't load up when I click on it's icon. The hard disk clunks but no explorer window appears. No error is displayed. Very odd. Very occasionally it does load up, perhaps once a day, but then stops loading again after a few minutes. Anybody got an idea what's happening?

Based on my known, a corrupt add-on could cause the problem. I have following suggestion.
Run IE without Add-ons
=============================
1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
2. Visit website in this IE and test the issue. .
If still cannot be run, please try to run it as administrator.
Hope it helps.

How to make 32-bit-only add-ons work with Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 and Enhanced Protected Mode enabled?

Hi everybody,
in IE10 I had the chance to use 32-bit-tabs even with EPM. In IE11 my 32-bit add-ons are all marked as "incompatible".
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards, Don

Hi Don,
The ”Enhanced Protected Mode ” feature of Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 has been simplified and it doesn`t provide the “Enable 64-bit processes for Enhanced Protected Mode” feature. The Enhanced Protected Mode is based on the 64 bit process.
So that may be the reason.
Here is a link for reference of Enhanced Protected Mode :

Why do Adobe 9 and Windows 7 Internet explorer not play well?

I use Windows 7 and Adobe came with the new Windows 7 platform however, it has not worked properly since I have owned it for 30 days. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe 9.
When trying to download from internet explorer I am timed out and receive an error message " there is a problem with Adobe Reader/Acrobat, please try again later." This message also closes internet explorer down.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Have you updated AA9 (that is Acrobat)? There are several updates that are typically needed. You did not indicate the version level and you may only have 9.0.0. If you are talking about Reader, then you need to ask in the Reader forum. Adobe is not a product, but the company with many products.

Windows 8.1 - "explorer.exe - Application Error" during shutdown process

Hi,
After I upgrade to Window 8.1, i get "explorer.exe - Application Error" dialog every shutdown.
It contain: "The instruction at 0x74fd40b9 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.
Click OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program."
(Sorry, my account can't post link or image. So i can't show you the picture capture)
When I had used Window 8, it didn't happen.
Please help me to solve this problem.
My machine is: HP ENVY DV6 7214nr.
Thanks,
Tan Nguyen

I am having the issue when shutting down windows 8.1. Did not occur before the update with Windows 8. At shut down, Pop up displays for only a few seconds. HP Envy I7.
Explorer.exe - Application Error
The instruction at 0xa73640b9 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be read.
Click on OK to termintate the program.
When I start the PC, and shut it down after a few minutes of running, this error does not occur. Only after the PC has been on for awhile and I have used several programs.
And for those of us unfamiliar with creating a Reg entry, the instruction are not very clear. Once I create this text file...what do I call it and where and how do I insert it....?
UPDATE Problem fixed: I followed the suggestions of a Windows 8 clean boot from Microsoft.
After going through the running applications one by one, I finally isolated the problem on my HP Envy to the Bluetooth Application. I disabled the Bluetooth task in Startup and made sure it did not load. Afterward, no more Explorer.exe - Application
Error when I shut down the PC. This program is a Ralink Bluetooth driver and exe. program running on startup. I am not sure if HP has offered an updated driver for it as of yet.....

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:
