How Do Set Default Browser?
Jan 25, 2010I installed Chrome to give it a try and now when I set the default back to Firefox via: Start/Properties/StartMenu/Customize/Internet Link/Mozilla Firefox Chrome also pops up not Firefox. When I click on a web link from Windows Mail or Start/Favorites, the default web browser is still Chrome. How do I make my default browser Firefox again (Which is still installed as I never removed it)?

Apr 6, 2009I am new to Vista Forum- feeling a little lost. I was looking for a Swedish to English translator on the Internet and Babylon looked promising.

Oct 18, 2008I'm new here with a problem that has popped up last night. Up until last night my web pages and everything was loading up in my Firefox browser pretty fast. Today things are loading up slow and with I go on to a news source to watch a video...the videos stop and go making the news video not worth watching. A couple of minutes I was looking at something on here where it said to use "cmd" command to get into something. It was set on "ultrarestrictive" and I changed it to "normal" but haven't seen much difference in how things are working. The other day I downloaded UTorrent on my computer but today I uninstalled it. Could UTorrent have messed something up?

Apr 2, 2010I stupidly downloaded the 'Browser Choice' update and can't get rid of it. I'd made my browser choices before downloading (I use IE, Chrome and sometimes Firefox), so I don't want to pick another one. But I can't get rid of the update: every time I reboot it comes up, with an annoying 'Certificate cannot be verified' message as well (from Windows????). I don't want ever to see this browser choice message again:
View 7 Replies View RelatedLoaded 64 Bit: Browser Slows Down
Jul 19, 2009My daughter purchased a Dell PC that has Vista 64 bit loaded. We didn't realize it was the 64 bit version until recently. Her problem is with IE. She has broadband access, but as soon as she drills down more than two levels, her browser slows right down. For some reason, it worked well and fast for about a month, but she recently rebooted her PC and it's s-l-o-w again. Has any else experienced this problem? Is there any way or reason to go to the 32 bit version of Vista?

Apr 21, 2008I somehow fixed my problem before, but then I reformatted my laptop which I regret now. I've downloaded all the vista upgrades and even tried turning off my firewall. But no matter if I'm using Firefox or IE7 it takes waay too long to load a page. I googled this and I've tried doing the "netsh interface disable" command but that doesn't really work either.

Mar 14, 2009when i checked the windows help and support to find help for something, i noticed that all the "links" that refer to the help articles next to them have a little box with a red X inside them. (like this box that appears in a web browser when a picture cant be displayed). another problem is that i have deleted all the restore points before taking aware of this situation and i cant do a system restore to try to fix it. i have tried the offline help, deleting temporary files, but i cant find a way to fix this it still has the same problem. i use windows vista 32bit with sp1 and all the updates.

Apr 15, 2008i have so many problems with Windows Vista, i can't even tell you. i'm meeting with a friend soon to address many of them, but there's one i can't tolerate or figure out. i've looked everywhere, so as a last-ditch, i'm asking here.
Vista is crashing my browser, which happens to be Mozilla Firefox. however, from what i've read, it also crashes IE7, so it's an equal opportunity glitch. is there a patch i'm missing? it's getting worse & worse. it used to happen occasionally, & now it happens every time i browse.
Unable To Access Websites Using My IE7 Web Browser
Apr 7, 2009This is getting very desperate for me. My problem is i am unable to access websites using my IE7 web browser. Things i have tried so far, run malware and deleted the results, run CCCleaner and deleted the results, run Anti Virus - there does not seem to be a virus on the machine although it displayed a comment on the system toolbar that there was a w32.zaposhopping virus on machine.
I am able to ping my router and go beyond that by pinging an DNS server 4.2.2.2 with successfully results so i know that there is nothing wrong witheither. I have reset IE7 explorer, i have deleted all tmp files, cookies etc.
I am able to access Google BUT it seems no other sites - I am at my wits end as to what to do next. I am very experienced with computer and work in the industury but not come across anything like this before.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHP Health Check /IE7 / Default Browser
Jul 4, 2008I find IE7 unusable and have installed another browser as default. Unfortunately, the HP Health Check utility uses Windows Help and Support for some downloads, & that seems to only use IE7.
1. It is refusing to download an important security update because of my security settings for IE7
2. it won't tell me what security settings are responsible; and
3. it doesn't even indicate where its trying to download from so I can use my default browser to manually download and install the security update.
The only thing I can think of which might work is setting all security settings in IE7 to minimum. Any other ideas, eg how to get Windows Help & Support to use the default browser?
Browser Takeover: Didn't Add To Favorites?
Jul 29, 2009I short time ago I noticed that the personalization of some parts of my browser had been taken over by MSN and bing. I don't know how this has happened and I'd like to be able to go back to the way I had it set up. My toolbar was different, favorites had changed and now there is a list of MSN sites, which i didn't add to favorites, search was taken over by bing and I'm tired of things like this happening to my system. What is going on and what can I do about it? How do I get rid of all of this and get back to the way I had my browser set up? What about this Microsoft Live too? Why is that now on my system and why do I have to have a 'LIVE' ID and PASSWORD to sing into these newsgroups now instead of just my old ID and password that I use to sign in with for years?
