Force Your Web Site To Be Rendered In IE7 Mode In IE8
Mar 11, 2008
With 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" />

I have a problem with my new monitor and XP/Vista
I have 3 PC's hooked to the same keyboard/mouse/monitor through a KVM switch. I used to have a 19" CRT at 1280x1024. I would power up each PC at the same time and then log them in 1 by one switching the inputs. No worries on any of the PC's.
However since I got me new HP LP2475w 24" LCD monitor which likes to run at 1920x1200 I have been having issues. The PC that has the monitor active boots fine into 1920x1200 but the others boot into a 1600x1200 mode and make the screen offset. If I boot each one with the monitor active then there is no issues but it takes much longer as I have to wait for each one.
How can I force them to stay in the 1920x1200 mode that I have set in the display options?

I am using Vista Home Premium 64 bits. In power option, I chose shutdown when the lid is closed (I am quite lazy). After go out for a while, I open up the lid and... see the fact is that the laptop is still waiting for me to click Shutdown now to shutdown!!!! I can not print screen but it looks like this:The following programs are still running:... To close these programs and turn off your computer, click Shutdown Now. You may lose work that haven’t saved. So can we force the computer to shutdown when I close the lid?

I have a program that is not responding. For some strange reason it is not possible to close it from task managed. I tried several times both End Task and End Process. The program is not a Windows system component. It is a slide and video demo program, that was started from CD. Problem appeared when I accidentally removed a CD from drive without closing the program first.I have administrative rights and all other programs that I tried to close with End Task, did close nicely.

I am trying to run some 10 year old software. It installed fine, but when I try to run it the program first does a check to make sure I have enough available RAM. When it checks my Free RAM it says I have -130MB of Free RAM and the program won't even try to start. Now - I understand from reading these forums that VISTA ties up all available RAM. Is there a way to tell VISTA to keep some 80MB or so free so that my software will start?

Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:
Installed all updates including SP2.
Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus.
Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i)
Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia
Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4
Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router.
I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........

Ever since I did a Windows update back in July, my video card has been acting up. While I'm using the computer the image on the screen starts breaking up, then I get a black screen. I have to force the computer for a shut down. After so many re starts I get a message saying "Display Driver Stopped working and has recovered.
I can use the computer for a little while, and then I get the same problem again. I took my computer to fix when I started experiencing this problem. All they did was clean the fan they said the video cards was good. I have a Toshiba Satellite P105-S9339 bought in June 2007. Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 4 GB Ram 32 bit Internet Explorer 7. I know a few people here had the same problem. Did someone found the fix for it?

having 2 gb of 1333 mhz DDR3....apparantly not enough if disabling the pagefile. So i bought 2 more sticks some 5 weeks ago, installed it and every 5-10 min i had a "hang-up" and needed to force down and then restart. Needed to remove the memory and then i saw it. It clearly says on the sticks 'OCZ3G13332GK' (the first G is for Gold), should have been 'OCZ3P13332GK' (the P stands for Platinum). The only difference here is the latency speed. So i returned the memory and yesterday i got the right one. Surprise .... surprise, 'hang-ups' are back. So the question : does anyone know if there is a problem with the memory when handling 4 sticks or could it be the Asus board? (P5K64 WS MB S775 Fsb1333 Q P35 4DDRIII13 4xPe16). I opened the case the first time i had problems put a fan before it, this did not make a difference. Didn't try this now.

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!!!

the 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.

Site appears as a Red x and when you hover over it you only get CLICK TO FOLLOW LINK. The sender is in the Safe Sender List and all possible settings have been checked as to the cause. Running Vista Ultimate 32 Bit. It is not a firewall setting and nor is the router firewall doing this. Identical machine with identical software runs perfectly as far as displaying HTML E-Mails in all their glory.

When I first saw this, I had to do a double take. I made sure it wasn't April 1 at least three times before I conceded. While looking around Encarta's homepage today, I stumbled on a message that Microsoft was getting rid of MSN Encarta completely: "On October 31, 2009, MSN Encarta Web sites worldwide will be discontinued, with the exception of Encarta Japan, which will be discontinued on December 31, 2009. Additionally, Microsoft will cease to sell Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium software products worldwide by June 2009." Looks like employees at Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Britannica will be throwing parties tonight.

My emails would send and receive fine until this morning. Now Windows Mail keeps asking me for my user name and password, and not accepting the one I enter. I know I am entering the correct info because I have checked with the document I keep that information on. Also, I am able to log in at the att site. If I close the window asking for the info I get this error message
-
Account: 'mail@att.net', Server: 'fpostoffice.isp.att.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization not enabled', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
It hs been a bit sporadic. For example I just hit Send/Receive three times in a row. The first two times it went fine, the third time it asked fo my info again.

I have an ftp site and I have a short term need for a number of not so computer literate people to download items from it. I'd like to be able to send a link in email and have them all just click and go to the site - or - just have a download start. The extent of my http knowledge stops with setting up the site and paying he bill.

I 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.

A client of mine has not been able to connect to his banking web site(status bar says "waiting for..." but never loads the page.I made a house call today to determine the cause. Here are the things I've tried:
I have tried creating a new user account--did not help.Besides IE8, I have tried FireFox, Google Chrome, and Safari--did nothelp Rebooted his wireless router--did not help Connected to his wireless network with my laptop--my laptop has no
problem loading web site
.
Tried disabling McAfee Firewall--did not help.
Checked to see if web site is listed in McAfee's blocked IPs or IE 8s
Restricted Sites--it is not
Checked the Hosts File--it has no entries.
Deleted Temporary Internet Files and Cookies--did not help
Currently I have the laptop at my house connected to my wireless network--still will not connect to his banking site Typed in a free proxy server address in IE LAN settings--I CAN load the web page. What can be blocking this web site? I've run out of ideas. I don'tthink use of a proxy server is a good long term solution.

'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?

I cannot send a picture from another site, I don't know why. 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. I usd to do this all the time now I can't. Shouldn't a create-mail come up with the attacment of the picture and I then put in who I want to send it to?

I'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.
