I want to change and accidentally set it to yes when I last installed Vista is getting rid of the setting that remembers the sites I have been too, although I am not sure that this is the right description, so I'd best explain it better. Say you are on the google search page and you start to type in something, well when I do as soon as I have two letters typed in I get a drop down box listing other things I have searched for, and I want to do away with this as its annoying when I try to login to my website as I get a list of my other names I use for other sites, damn nuisance, but I don't know how to stop this.
I have seen many people with folders' view settings not being remembered. My issue is that I would like to have folders on the desktop without the navigation pane. However, getting rid of one folder's pane gets rid of them all. Any ideas on how to fix this? Hopefully, it could fix all the other non-requested changes in folders' views (sort orders not sticking for example). ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it.
I just installed broadband internet on my HP Pavilion tx2000 notebook PC loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I have not been able to access any site other than Google and its allies. I have turned off the windows firewall to avoid and conflict with the Norton Antivirus 2009 firewall. I have tried by disabling phising filters. But nothing working.
Vista comes with 2 versions of IE 32 bit and 64 bit right so why does the 64 bit version have no problem going on secure sites and yet 32 bit version refuses to do so normally it would not bother me but my Itunes is using the 32 bit version to go to the store (ithink) and i can not sign on to the store to get my music and yes before anyone suggests i have enabled SSL and TTL !
For several weeks I have been trying to solve a problem with being disconnected from internet sites. Tons of troubleshooting have not been successful. The problem is this: I can go to any website and open one or two windows but when I try to open a third (or sometimes fourth) window (especially if it is a 'heavy' activity site, e.g. Pogo Games or some site that requires multiple windows) I suddenly get disconnected. It is as if I am overloading something (I have 3 GB of RAM) or causing something or other to overload. This happens whether I am using my AOL browser, Internet Explorer 8.0, or Firefox...
so it is NOT the browser. With AOL when I get disconnected the browser will immediately try to restart and will be successful except if I have not 'removed' the offending 3rd or 4th window it will soon disconnect again. I try to quickly X out the 'extra' window but if I am not quick enough it will repeat that cycle again and again up to 6 or 7 times until I can 'catch' and X out the extra window. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting but it is very exasperating. I have a Dell Inspiron 530s, 200GB HD, 3GB RAM, Vista Home Premium OS, 32-bit. (Question: would upgrading to 64bit make a possible difference?)
My computer is loaded with applications, large graphic files, etc. etc. It may be that I need to simplify. Also have more than one anti-virus and/or anti-malware application. Could that be the problem? I need HELP Please.....If reinstalling the OS would be the solution I would do that as a last resort because I have so much personal data that has to be backed up as well as dozens and dozens of applications that would have to be reinstalled. But if I can't find another solution to this problem first I can go that route (again). P.S. I also tried a 'Repair Install' and got the message : Nothing to repair'...although that only took a few seconds so I doubted that a scan was done.
IE that comes with Vista was working fine. Today, I noticed that it is very slow in visiting sites but later it came worse. I thought it was a problem with the connection but I was wrong. Using Google Chrome I didn't see the problem also with Opera we browser.
I recently encounter an error that is driving me nuts... it wont let me connect to certain sites, e.g email and some university websites. However, I am connected to the internet.. i can go to some sites such as google, yahoo, this, online game, msn.I use rogers as isp, dlink router, laptop vista, avast, windows firewall, Norton (i think i removed completely)I normally use firefox but this error happens to my ie too. Recently i did not download any suspicious programs except maybe for windows/browser updates.
Trying to print from web sites browsing with IE7 on a Windows Vista Premium PC. I can print without problems from Word or Windows Mail. Printer is a HP Officejet 5610.
I have a Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit machine. I use IE 8 in my admin account and have had no problems with browsing websites. When I switch to my standard user account and use IE 8, some sites just don't render correctly (see attached screenshots). I've tried almost every suggestion I've come across in researching this issue, to no avail, including uninstalling IE 8 and using IE 7, reinstalling IE 8, compatibility view, add-ons disabled, mtu router tweaks, disabling anti-virus. I use Firefox mostly but need IE working for testing purposes as I'm a developer.
I have had Vista about month now and I keep getting suggested sites poping up along my toolbar its driving me nuts! These sites are in some relation to what i'm viewing, wasnt there before so must be something i've pressed. Its nothing todo with my popups as there turned off.
Vista home premium, SP1. Internet explorer 7.0.6001.18000 attempting to add an address to the Restricted sites in the security tab of Internet Options. specific site is search.live.com, but applies to any other as well. response is that Sites added to this zone must use the https// prefix. This assures a secure connection. That response is expected when adding to the Trusted sites, not the restricted sites. I have in the past added sites to the Restricted sites, currently there are three sites in the list
My computer automatically downloaded Internet Explorer 8 last week. So far I am not impressed! I have found that it does not load some sites (eg. Facebook and sometimes Google), or takes an age for it to load them up. Sometimes when IE8 is loading up iteslf, it goes to a page saying 'Internet Connection Problem" or something in the top left corner. I wonder if there is a new download patch (is that what it is called?!) or something that can resolve this problem, or some way that I can revert to Internet Explorer 7?
I'm having trouble with my internet connection on my Sony Vaio laptop. I've had this laptop for over a year now and I've been connected to the internet wirelessly through a router without any problems until last night...All of a sudden IE wouldn't connect to any sites but firefox and my messenger still worked. Then about an hour later my firefox stopped working so i decided to restart my laptop. Before it shut down to restart I got a Blue Screen and then it restarted. Now it's saying im connected to the network but Local Only and I can't connect to any sites. I'm currently on another PC in the house and the Internet works fine. Also I tried plugging an ethernet cord in the laptop and it still doesn't work.
I have been having a problem when I click on an icon on the desk top that takes me to a site on the internet. As soon as I select the icon, I get an error message with the sites address followed by "application not found". Verizon DSL is my service provider. Desk top short cuts that go to other application programs (i.e. Word etc.) work OK. Outlook works okay and I can still get to the web sites using Internet Explorer.
I recently downloaded Google Chrome but deleted it when it prevented me from downloading Adobe Flash. I tried to restore to a previous time, however, the restore operation failed.
I bought my Vista PC this year and am having trouble with the pop up blocker. I'm an online gamer, the games use a lot of applets, and so I have specifically allowed certain sites what amounts to unlimited access as well as turned off my pop up blocker. Problem being, it still tries to block sites.
I'm trying to create a batch file so that I can bring up 2 sites at one time when I open my browser. I use Firefox & IE8. What I have done so far to no avail is created a file as follows and sent to desktop from notepad named test.bat:
without parenthesis in the above. I can get these to open consecutively, same browser window if I have a browser already open. But, not without browser open. How do I connect the 2 sites to open in 2 tabs, same window? I also added them as multi home pages, then sent shortcut to browser to desktop. This does work, but, not what I want.
Is there anyway to create a batch file and have these 2 sites open at start up, by-passing the desktop without clicking to open the browser? Also, I know that clicking on the shortcut to the browser that's on the desktop does slow down the launching process. If there is another way upon start up, will it be slower as well?
When I go to START - FAVORITES the individual sites and subfolders appear in one list alphabetically. When I go START and right click on FAVORITES to open it in a window, the folders appear first alphabetically and the individual sites next on the list. The same thing happens when I have a site open and go to FAVORITES from the menu bar. The list is sorted first by folders and then by individual sites. I would prefer to see them listed as the second and third examples show but I cannot get the first one to sort that way. Pretty picky I know, but it is Wednesday after all.
Seems to be the fashion lately to have dark text on a dark background. I'm still using my Trust Rusty CRT monitor so these are practically unreadable for me. Anyone know a fix without using SeaMonkey or some other complex mumbo jumbo? Just need contrasting text so I can read it.

I have a Sony VAIO laptop with Windows Vista Home premium and I have a problem with my sound.
When I unplug my computer from the back to move to another room I lose my sound and I have to restart my computer to get it back. Can anybody help me to stop this from happening or how to fix without restarting my computer.
On my desktop, i recently found that there was an entry in my ALL PROGRAMS, that was "Programs". I thought i would not need it so shift deleted the "Programs" and now i cannot find anything under ALL PROGRAMS. :cry: There used to be alot of items like Windows Defender, Windows Updates, Fax and Scan, Mozilla Firefox, Yahoo Messenger, etc... Now its just blank. I tried system restore and recuva but nothing changed
My daughters forgotten her password on her laptop, i have tried all the usual methods to get in to it but to no avail, in both normal and safe mode, we don't have the XP disc as she bought the laptop from a friend, i have even thought about downloading ophcrack but it seems a bit long winded and a little confusing.
All of a sudden I went to up the volume with the up volume button and the volume bar is gone. The sound increases but to what level I don't know visually. I tried updating driver and that came back with best driver is all ready installed.
This is what I see on my C Drive with Vista Home Premium
1. 48.3 GB used space on Local Disk (C When I Click Local Disk C then Properties, Blue Red Pie (51,940,466,688 bytes)
2. 28.1 GB Size on Disk When I Open C & Select All, Then Click Properties (30,206,545,173 bytes)
3. That's a Difference of 20.2 GB & I Checked Show hidden files and folders & Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files.
4. 33.2 GB is the size of my Compressed Backup on my Acronis TrueImage11 C Drive Backup to an External HD, so I think the 48.3 GB is true. Where could the 20.2 GB be hiding?
Yesterday, I opened a document (Office Student 2007) from my e-mail account on the web (not Outlook)
I clicked "Save" repeatedly throughout the day and was never prompted to select "Save As" and when I X'd out, it did not say "Are you sure you want to close without saving?" so, I assumed all was well. However,when I went back to open it, it wasn't there. I searched all the folders, hidden folders, temp internet files, etc. but cannot find it!
I was clicking "Save" so it has to be saved somewhere, right?
