for some reason, ie will no longer trigger pop-up links. in other words.. if i want to click a link that's supposed to be launched in a new window - it doesnt happen. which is annoying cos it means i can't access some sites now. i realise this isnt exactly the forum for this sort of thing, but can anyone help? its pretty frustrating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SO if you no new window opens? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
correct grr.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about if you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry I messed that up. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
im glad im your object of fun.. ..i guess this means you cant help me? |
||||||||
|
|

I was trying to figure out why it would be happening. How about if you hold down Ctrl and press N does it spawn a new window? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes.. it does. i can spawn my own windows.. just cant get them through links.. hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about if you hold down the shift key while clicking a link? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right click on the link, and choose 'open in new window' from the options? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tried that earlier.. no joy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, no joy on the shift thing either ecnadniarb |

Reinstall IE? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trying critical updates now - perhaps it will resolve the problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
install |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is it fleetmouse? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, install mozilla, it's waht interenet explorer would be if it was good, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IE shits on Mozilla...it's just the biased anti Microsoft brigade who reckon it is better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IE Rocks. EVeryone has diff preferences. but im a pretty high end fucking user and IE + google toolbar does everything i need it to. ppl who are thrashing IE just for the hell of it are obviously are negatively MS biased. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You could listen to ecnadniarb and elusive. Or you could try mozilla and judge for yourself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i could.. couldn't i.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm popping out for a bit but I'll be back in later if anyone needs some help configuring mozilla, installing a proper jvm for it etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im on your side |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mozilla is just ie with extra's that should already be there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FUCK FUCK FUCK i cant fix this problem.. sigh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my problem is worse. puter crashes when i open a shockwave site, no warning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
re-install it then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but to do that i'll have to create backups etc.. its late & i cant be bothered.. just want a quick fix. ah, the impatience of youth.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why do people even use IE. it's a security risk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont consider myself important enough to operate a high level of security in my life.. requires too much concentration. |

nlogax, nlogax, nlogax.... IE hasn't gotten _me_ into any trouble. Albeit, it does have it's flaws, I just love the small footprint and speed. |
||||||||

|

hehe, how would you ever know? know what I mean, hehe. I mean, when MS has to issue security updates for their (shitty) browser almost once a month, alarmbells should be ringing. |
||||||||

ive used many many browsers for diff OS' k |

Besides, IE is a kind of spyware, in the sense that the IE generates a file called index.dat which keeps track of all your browsing habits regardless of whether or not you delete your temporary internetfiles, cookies and cache. This .dat-file is always maintained and updated as you browse. Another thing is that this file is impossible to delete or edit. Not that you'd have anything to hide, but the mere thought of this file is alarming in itself. The only way to edit it, is to use a hexadecimal editor (hex editor) and manually edit each and every bit in the file, which usually contains well over millions of encrypted characthers. Ever seen this path: C:\Documents and Settings\yourNTusername\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\content.IE5 - this is where the index.dat file resides, and this whole directory is a hidden extension of the regular temporary internet files which are NEVER deleted. You may do so manually, but then you'd have to know that it exists. The foldernames are generated randomly, and if you delete them, new ones are generated instantly. Try watching the contents of these folders as you delete your cookies, cache and temp files within IE's internet options. Nothing happens. Why? |

I couldn't live without tabbed multiple page browsing, middle click to open a link in a new tab, mouse gestures, integrated google search and popup blocking. Most of the utilities that claim to add popup blocking to IE are actually spyware and virus conduits. Other bonuses: you can choose the path for your Mozilla profile (cookies/cache/history) so I keep mine on an encrypted partition - if my computer gets stolen the thieves don't get my online banking history and cached Yahoo email pages... Lessee, what else is cool about it - your bookmarks are stored in one sensible html file instead of bazillions of little shortcut files, there's a ratio of like at least 100 to one between IE and Mozilla security alerts, Mozilla almost never crashes and when it does it doesn't take down the whole OS with it, Mozilla won't run ActiveX controls (hurrah!). Mozilla unlike IE is being actively developed - Microsoft stopped adding features and fixing things in IE when they decided they'd won the browser wars, and now they only fix the most egregious security flaws whenever they feel like getting around to it. I dunno, I feel like I'm telling people "Please, stop drinking battery acid and drink this delicious milkshake instead" |

i d/loaded mozilla.. running it now. but the problem still exists in relation to msn messenger. can't launch my email inbox from the link in msngr.. i guess because ms tied the program to ie.. any ideas on how to rectify this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I bet messenger uses the html rendering engine from IE - try going into control panel, internet options, programs, and make sure you have your email client selected. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh man, the way ie renders html is a whole nother chapter. it only renders Microsoft Certified Bullshit HTML, also known as MSCBHTML |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
BTW, here's some stuff on Mozilla in case something is not working out for you... And some more |
