When I was using XP I simply activated port 80 from my firewall to allow outside access to a page located in my localhost. Could anybody tell me what do I have to do in Vista to make my pages accessible from outside?
I can log onto Facebook but any navigation away from the home page causes it to shut down. I have ren the virus scan, cleared my cache, but no luck. What to do next? I am also awaiting word from Facebook, though I dont think they will answer.
I am enquiring if it is at all possible to run a website without hosting? If I created my own website,would I be able to run it without hosting? A friend told me I could?? Can anyone explain this to me?
I want to know how I can prevent my computer from going back to the log on page after it has been idle for a time. I would simply rather touch the laptop pad and just be able to pick up from where I left off instead of having to sign in all over again. I use Vista Ultimate. I have tried going to Personalization and the Screensaver page and checked to see if the On resume, display logon screen has been unchecked and it has been all along apparently.
There is a new newsgroup on the *Microsoft* newsgroup server: (msnews.microsoft.com). The "IT" is not information technology, it's Italian! Ok, I'm all for supporting alternative languages, but why is *Microsoft* hosting a Windows7 newsgroup in Italian whereas they will not support a Windows 7 newsgroup in (the universal language of the web) English?
When I open hotmail from windows live messenger, the page opens from an already open internet explorer web page + a new one with a message saying that the email address or password is incorrect. Does it happen to anyone else here?
I've been trying to run Serif Page Plus SE free but continually get the 'not responding' message. I've given up on their support line as they l=keep telling me the same thing over and over. I'm running Vista - is there a c0mpatibility problem?
My daughter tried to remove Norton's to put on another security and now I cannot access the internet with Explorer. I am connected but cannot get on. The response when I click on Explorer icon is that it cannot access the web page. Has anyone experienced this? I had Comcast come out and they tried to restore system to day before this happened and it didn't work.
When I installed Windows Vista I made MSN my home page. I was asked if I wanted to prevent change to my home page and I answered yes because very often certain web sites try to make themselves your home page. Now I want to change my home page to comcast.net but every time I reboot it goes back to MSN as my home page. I went to tools/internet options and changed my home page to Comcast and clicked apply but whenever I start IE8 it reverts back to MSN for my home page. How can I make it keep comcast as my home page?

When attempting to print/save a web page as a PDF in Vista, a dialog pops up; "For your computer???s security, the file was saved to the Temporary Internet File Folder.? Do you want to open this folder?, Yes or No". When clicking ?Yes? you are taken to a folder named ?Virtualized?, which contains no files. Also the PDF printer dialog box shows "Error - Printing" and the PDF printer refuses to print. PDF files can be saved from other programs with no problems. The web page can also be printed to local or network printers. We are not using Zone Alarm
I get this literally every time i surf the net for a while. basically IE gives that message and then kills the internet, firefox does not work either. there is nothing wrong with the TCP/IP as i can ping the sites no problem. only method of fix rite now is to restart, but that is unrealistic and just a work-around. Running : Vista Business x64 SP2
Before the computer actually came to the point of "shuting down just before it tried to load the o/s" it literrly kept shuting down on its own randomly for a week or so. Then the blue screen appeard with this error: 0x0000007BC , 0x84C5DBA0, 0x0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000 "Run CHKDSK /F and check for Hard Drive Corruption and then restart your computer"
Basically it's telling me the DRIVE is corruptet! Well, I plugged that SATA 2 HDD into my other computer (windows xp), detected it correctly and actually formated the drive and reinstalled XP on it without any types of problem. Does it still mean - SATA 2 is corrupted or broken!? How about the RAM then ... indeed, I did run the MemTest for 7 times and no errors were found. So the RAM are ok in this case, or am I wrong?! Maybe it's the PSU... ermmm no that cannot be 'cos the computer never shuts down, if I leave it run for (e.g 5 hours) and even if it's comes to "overheating" that cannot be the case eather, as its *again" never shuts down when you leave it run on the power.........
I have the old problem of the hyperlinks not working in preview mode.
I've done the reg fix found here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823720 which always worked ok in XP but doesn't seem to cure the problem in Vista 64.
I'm wondering if it's caused by there being two versions of IE, 32 and 64 bit.
For years I have used a financial services website to monitor my investment portfolio (www.moneyextra.com ) For years with Windows XP/IE6 and later with XP/IE7 everything worked (and still works) perfectly. I now have another machine running Vista Home Premium SP1 with IE7 which will not work reliably with this website. When I view my portfolio, some of the web pages are often incomplete - but sometimes they are complete.
I have tried using the MS User Agent String Utility to emulate IE6 but this does not work predictably either. Sometimes when I use this utility the website is incomplete - but when I subsequently open a new browser it is OK. If I close and reopen the browser the fault usually reappears. The behavior is unpredictable......
Whenever I am playing some kind of music in the background, and I go to scroll up and down a page, the music gets muffled or degraded and slows down. This only happens when i Scroll on a page. Moving Graphics tend to slow down too when I scroll.
I just did a clean install due to some new hardware and my IE is stuck on that first page that lets you set preferences. {url} It went there once, I tried to make choices and go on but it hung. It just keeps going to {url} and erroring out with "Page cannot be displayed." I have set my homepage to MSN.com and if I click home it goes there biut it opens everytime to and erroring out with "Page cannot be displayed."
just been looking at the windows activation page on my new PC, Where it says product ID: it has a list of numbers in this order= 5 numbers - 3 numbers - 7 numbers - 5 numbers Non of these numbers match what is on the sticker on the back of the machine! On that sticker it's a mix of numbers and letters. Do I just click continue with the line of numbers which is already there, or do I insert the number and letter combination which is on my sticker?
I posted this in another forum and one person said the id that is already there and the key on the sticker should be different! The other person said delete the numbers and put the letter and numbers from the sticker in there!
When I click on the "email" option in Windows Photo Gallery I'm given the "size" option, I click on "attach" and then I'm sent to a blank page whose tab reads, http://compose...cldefstat=Def1. I am not directed to an email address box.
Just this evening an application I was using slid to the right side on the desktop and I don't know how to drag it back. Moving the cursor to the page's left edge, where it turns into the double-arrow icon, won't budge it back left, thopugh I can move the top of the page up and down.
I tried to a search on this particular issue, but did not find an identical problem. Every few days my home page get hijacked by MSN and a window comes up to download I.E 8 which I have already since last summer. Each time I change back to my home page and click on ask me later on the I.E. 8 popup because there is no other option. I did all the scans with Zone Alarm Extreme Security, ad-aware, S&D spybot, malwarebytes and CC cleaner.
An odd thing as occured in the past week. I am using Vista 64bit OS. As we all know, when we click the (x) in the upper right to close a web page, it should close on one click. Also when going to the task bar and right clicking to close the page. It is taking me three or more clicks to close the page. The back arrow seems un-affected. The open web page seems to hang and then closes.I have no problems in closeing normal windows within the os.I've checked for malware using malwarebytes and nothing comes up. I also have no viruses according to my payed version of AVG. I keep my system clean of junk files etc.
I got my computer twith Vista on it this summer and could no longer view multi page .tif files. I need to be able to do this for my job. My old computer had XP and it used MS fax and picture viewer, or something like that. I used this forum in September to figure out my problem, and someone instructed me on a download at Microsoft that would fix this problem. I think it is Microsoft Document Image Writer, but I could be wrong.
This fixed my problem. Now, for some reason, my computer has defaulted to QuickTime and it will only allow me to view one page. I can't remember what program I used before (whether it was the Image Writer or not), and even so, I don't know how to get it to default to another program. I have tried to search previous posts to get the answer to my post from September 2008, but I can't figure out how to do that either.
I have some stocks that I own on my favorite's page is there a way to print the favorites? Vista PC. To Lazy to copy them by hand. I keep the page updated fairly regularly.
I have strange problem with my PPP connection. I'm using DSL with no router. Suddenly after few hours i'm losing connectivity of both Firefox and IE, i can't open any page. But at same time my Internet connection hasn't dropped. With MS-DOS prompt i have normal ping and tracert to any public host even my 2nd PC(winXP) has internet. In order to go back to normal i have to reboot and then till next time.
i have changed over to btinternet but cannot get on to internet explorer 7 flashes on then message reads cannot display page hub and adaptor are found and working fine bt tec man says explorer is damaged and advises getting new one but i cannot download without connection i have tried reset explorer and putting in firefox still no joy i am on vista business 32 bit
Why do I have to click twice (instead of once) to go back one page in IE8. I looked for a setting but I can't find one. I always before only had to click the back arrow once and it would go back to the previous page.
