Ok so i have blocked these sites through this:notepad c:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts. and then I think I put a block on top of that so it couldn't be changed but I can't remember. If you think you can help me get the sites back unblocked that would be great.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had windows XP pro and i bought windows vista home premium upgrade, when i went to install it it said that i couldn't upgrade it. So i followed directions on how to do a custom clean install, where you install vista without typing in the product key and without getting updates then you pick what OS you have and do the custom installation, then you install again (2nd time) and choose upgrade instead of custom and go through the process again.
The problem is after installing it the first time, I couldn't connect to the internet, so I couldn't install it a second time. I have an ASUS PQ5 PRo motherboard and when i start up there is this thing called express gate, in express gate I can use the internet but not when i enter Vista. When I put in the PQ5 Pro DVD vista says it can't open it. Also my XP PRO may have been 64bit, and now I am on Vista32 bit and the disck wont work.
I think the internet is a driver problem, if i go to the asus website on a diff computer and get the ASUS drivers put them on a USB and then open them on vista should this work? WHat drivers do I need? Just the LAN one? Also if the Asus DVD wouldnt start up will that mean that I wont be able to open the drivers on the flash drive too?
I wanted my own introduction for a reason, to get my web-site out to other members. I plan on being on this site for a long time, I consider myself a valueable member but that's yet for you kind people to tell.
I'm 15 years old and live in PEI, Canada. I grew up around technology at my hands, I've experimented with it, diagnosed and fixed my own issues, learned from other people and asked for information online that for some reason I remember as a pose to my academic stuff. There's something about technology and especially computers that calms me down, it's my area, you know? Well, anyways. The link below and in my sig is my blog, that blog will be updated often with tips, tricks, tutorials, reviews and more with anyting relating tech. My e-mail which will also be posted below is for anyone who wants to become a part of an online tips, tricks, tutorials and reviews site or has any requests or general questions about me, my site and what I know and do.
My future plans are to build my own desktop computer by the end of the summer, I'll be saving up all my money from here to then to do this. However, I'd be doing it now but I recently bought a playboy cell-phone and that took a chunk out of my change, well, my familys change which I basically use as my own. I'm getting a full-time job in the summer to start building computers. My further goal is to start my own business, building and repairing computers. Sounds crazy considering I'm 15, doesn't it? Well, yeah, I know but I know I can do it. The most I've done though is swapped out hard-drives on my notebook computer and swapped out ram on my own.
I would like to know how to stop these extremely annoying pop ups that ask something about allowing a program to connect to a particular website. In the title bar of the pop up it says," set web site rule" They aren't advertising pop ups. They are pop up windows generated by my own computer seeminglhy to try to get my permission about something. It gets to where I am doing nothing but clicking on the buttons of those pop ups as they come up one after the other after the other. It practically makes me want to throw my computer across the room!!!
View 8 Replies View Relatedthe first problem that I have had since using Vista. I use Snapfish to upload pictures from my digital camera. I have had no trouble getting into that site until yesterday. Now I cannot load www.snapfish.com, but I can load all other web sites that I normally use. I've re-booted the computer and the modem, and run the Vista diagnostics, but cannot find the reason for being able to load any other web site but not www.snapfish.com. I am able to load it using a Wi-Fi laptop, but not using my desktop.

Additionally, Microsoft will cease to sell Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium software products worldwide by June 2009."

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been reading and posting on this forum for a while now.. probably 2 months? All of a sudden, starting yesterday, when I try to browse here to this forum, IE and Firefox both tell me they can't find this site. If fact, it takes me to a site with a similiar name.. vista64.com with no x. This only happens with this forum and one other and only from home on this computer. I can browse all over the place on the internet without a problem. I have no problem browsing here from work. I have made no changes or updates on the computer within the last 48 hours. I downloaded the latest IE security update from Windows this morning which allowed me here for one session and then went back to telling me the site didn't exist. Windows Defender full scan says all clear, Norton says all clear. I have also cleared my cache on both browsers and cookies as well. The only reason I got here now is because I accessed a cached site on a google search, which sometimes works and sometimes not.

'You don't have permission to access this site...'That's what my browser (IE 8) says. Who is forbidding me to access any site? Is it possibly the owner of the site?

For example, I see apicture on another site and want to send it by e-mail to another person, so I right click and then click on send e_mail and no e-mail option comes up.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to download some Windows Mail Stationery from the Microsoft site. showing up on my computer after I install it. At first I was just clicking on what I wanted, and then selecting to run. It went through and seemed to install normally. Note: I have UAC turned off. Also even though the download page says Windows Mail when it finishes installing it says Outlook Express. I have also tried installing it via clicking to save and then running after, along with right clicking it once downloaded and selecting to run as adminstrator (even though I am the administrator).
I know about the different storage folders. (I have the hidden folders viewable.) I have looked in both folders and the stationery that I just downloaded is nowhere to be found. Just to be sure I tried two different files and they both seem to install fine but don't show up anywhere. I have downloaded other Windows Mail stationery from another site and it puts it right where it's supposed to go and works fine. Is there something I'm missing here? Could there be another folder that it's installing into other than the two I know about? (the one under common files and the one under appdata - don't feel like typing the whole paths) I did see something about a Windows Live stationery folder but I don't appear to have that one on my computer.

Using SimpleOCR I scanned text. I wanted to email it and save it to Documents. The SimpleOCR scan had no provision to send it, so I saved it to Desktop, and it saved in Open Office (I have MS Works and Open Office but I don't know why it saved to Open Office since I usually Works for word processing). The saved scan I rightclicked Copy. When I tried to Paste in Hotmail email, I clicked the dark Paste but it did not paste. When I copied and tried to paste the scan to a Works word processing page, the Paste option was grey and I couldn't paste it there either. How can I copy and paste a Simple OCR scan?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am helping somebody fix their PC (Vista Home Premium on a Gateway laptop) via Windows Remote Assistance. The first time that we used it (after some success), after a planned restart, I couldn't reconnect and the remote user's keyboard would result in gibberish (e.g. type one letter, get something totally different on the screen). We needed to rebuild the PC anyway, so this just prompted us to finally get around to doing this. After reinstalling the O/S, we used WMA successfully and without incident to install many applications such as anti-virus, Adobe Reader, etc. Then, we had to reconnect after a planned restart. This time, I had the remote user invite me by saving the invitation as a file and sending it to me. We had been previously doing the invitations directly by email (without the file). Instantly after creating this file, the keyboard gibberish reappeared. I have no idea how to fix this. In both failure events, I tried System Restore points to times prior to the error, but this did nothing. I have looked at the keyboard layout and the language options, but they are fine and do not appear to be part of the problem. I have seen a couple of references to this on the web, but no good solutions offered. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI loaded Vista x64 on my machine as an upgrade. Had everything loaded perfectly, etc... I tried installing Windows 7 Beta. After it was installed I realized that not only are there not enough drivers available, but I stalled it on top of vista instead of it's own partition (colossal screw up). I also realized I couldn't rollback the installation. I didn't feel like re-installing XP and vista wasn't letting me reinstall. So I came up with the brilliant idea of installing it clean without any key code. Now how do I activate this or reinstall vista and keep all my programs, files, etc... (ie. not spend countless hours reinstalling everything I have)?

View 6 Replies View RelatedWith the release of IE8 and the number of users are growing rapidly it is important for web developers to be ready for the new way that IE8 renders web pages. Microsoft decided IE8 will render web pages in a new web standards compliant mode by default. While this decision should simply making web sites that work in all web browsers, it is going to break many web sites that were designed to older rendering engines of Internet Explorer.
Rather than rewrite your entire web site to be standards compliant to work properly in IE8 Microsoft has given web developers a way to force IE8 to render your web page with the IE7 rendering mode. Simply add a special code to your HTML code.
Insert the following right after the <head> tag in your HTML code.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Vista installed OK but it would no longer accept the Product Key saying that my disc was for an upgrade (correct) and not for a clean installation. ObviouI now appear to have two expensive choices:
1 To buy a new key

it all started after i downloaded a file and started to install it. first thing that happened was i got an error message saying g.exe couldn't be opened. so i closed it and thought it was funky for it to happen at the time. i also didn;t think it was a file of importance and we all know how windows is. so i figured a restart n i would be ok. i restarted and i got a rundll error C:/windows/system32/ " the specified module could not be found" ( opnnnoMd.dll ) i did find the file after some searching in the syswow64 folder. and it had been modified around the same time i had the error of g.exe...so i did some searching bout g.exe and found it could be a virus.... i have norton ran an update and scan...found nothing
