IE9 On Windows 7 No Longer Adds Webpages To History
Nov 23, 2012
IE9 has stopped adding webpages to my history (view => explorer-bars => history). This has been happening for 3 days now. The only entries in history are now regular files (like JPGs) under the heading "Computer", but no URLs or webpages are listed below that.
Two days ago I increased my history storage from 250MB to 512MB and increased the number of days to store from 250 to 512. Unfortunately, nothing has changed.
I have a laptop that's running Win7 ultimate. I can connect to my home wireless network, but it add's a number to the end of my ssid. If it says ssid (4) than I will have problems connecting to internet and other computers on my network, but if it says ssid (2) than I have no problems. The question I have is how to keep my laptop from adding the numbers to my ssid, so I have no problems connecting to my home wireless network?
I found out that if a file has an extra dot before the extension, e.g. book1..xls (or book1. if you have "hide known file extensions" enabled in Folder Options), then the following will occur. If you right click the file, click Send to, click Mail Recipient, a new mail window opens up with the attachment of the file RENAMED TO book1._xls. I.e. the extra dot is replaced with an underscoreAlso, the funny thing is if there are additional dots before the extension, only the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. dots will be replaced with underscores.That means if the dot JUST BEFORE the extension is in an even-number position (counting from left to right), it will be replaced with "_", making the file extension looking like "_xls" and thus the attachment will be unopenable by your recipient unless he or she manually deletes the undercore from the extension.E.g. book1...xls will become book1._.xls; file name changed but still openable.But book1....xls will become book1._._xls; file becomes unopenable.This does not happen in Outlook Express. It seems to only happen with Windows Live Mail
I'm not sure what's wrong with my computer, and that's a first for me. In Windows 7 whenever I try to visit a webpage through a browser the page will not load. The three browsers I have installed are IE, Chrome, and Firefox. None of them are able to show webpages, but Chrome does give me an error 137. I've already scanned Windows 7 for any viruses, malware, etc., and I've found nothing.
Now the tricky thing is that I'm able to ping websites without any issue, and system updates work fine as well. In Jolicloud and Kubuntu I'm able to surf the web without a problem. I've already scanned Windows 7 for any viruses, malware, etc., and I've found nothing.
I believe the root of the problem is that I incorrectly uninstalled the program Net Nanny, causing it to block all Internet browsing.
when on the internet using win7 and firefox, the info in the window reduces to approximately 33% while keeping the window at the full 100%. how can i get it all back to the size it was originally?
My wife has a Compaq Pressario CQ61. The other day, out of the blue, anything viewed through her browser overwhelms the browser window. Changing the size of the window does not help. I tried adjusting the resolution from the Control Panel. This did not help. I'm not sure what happened so for an amateur, it is challenging finding a remedy. We are running Windows 7.
I recently purchased an HP Pavilion g7 laptop. It has Windows 7 and I have Internet Explorer 9. When I click on links in my emails it opens up a new tab, but does not open the actual web page. In addition some links on webpages don't work (for instance the Print link on Google Maps). My popup blocker is turned off. What do I have to do to get these links to work?
I have a new desktop running win 7 64bit pro. After doing a fresh install the only thing I did was remove the trial version of Norton AV. Now many pages will not load in either IE9 or chrome. Some pages load but when you try to click on links. Our other laptops on my network can browse the internet without any problems. Pages that load on them will not load on this new desktop.
The desktop is connect to the network via ethernet cable.
I've been able to download and receive windows updates. I was able to download google chrome. I can get to Google but I when I click on the links the pages will not load, it just sets there and never gives me any error.
Until about 2 months ago my friend's Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit laptop was working fine with a wireless connection to an Edimax home router. Then he started to get problems accessing some web pages - note he can generally access the sites but some pages will not load - eventually IE8 or FF4 will timeout and the troubleshooter will engage and eventually say it cannot find a problem.One such site is www.hpb.co.uk where he can get the home page up but when he enters his logon info it just sits there and looks at him. Another strange happening is with Hotmail where, going through the web interface, he can access his inbox perfectly but if he tries to access the Calendar or his Profile the page just sits there again. The Windows Live 2011 Mail client cannot connect and comes up with error code 0x80048820 but none of the solutions I can find for this code seem to resolve the problem (neither do they explain exactly what this return code means, but that is another issue).
We don't think it is the router that is the problem because we have had a replacement one from the vendor and it gives the same problem. We installed FF4 after the problems started but it immediately suffered from the same problem.We have tried resetting the DNS Cache, the IE settings - we've cleared out all the IE temp files - once after doing this the problem went away for a couple of days! but further attempts do not get us working again.
I have a family friend that emailed me about computer issues (we all know how that is), but this one is new to me and wanted to see if anyone had some suggestions before I made the 45 minute drive out to see them.
You will find the screenshot below. As you can see, they are getting lines across the screen but in a way that I have never seen before. Now, i am holding their words loosely, but they state that this only happens in the web browser. Looking at the screenshot I can see the line are contained within the browser window, as the IE tabs and window at the top of the screen are intact and normal.
I bought my new computer about 3-4 months ago but the other day it decided to stop saving web history. It will show some pages but not all. If it does save, it will save the initial page but nothing after that. Normally when opening a website, a bar will appear above the taskbar at the bottom of the screen that says 'Website found, Waiting for reply...' on the left hand side and 100% on the right, etc., that bar is no longer appearing. I've check the internet options part and the 'delete browsing history on exit' is unchecked. Disk space is set at 250 and days at 20. I'm running windows 7, IE 9.
On sunday I re-installed windows 7home premium to my Medion desktop, after doing all re-installs I started noticing that webpages did not display correctly, leaving a big gap at bottom of page. Win 7 home premium. internet explorer 9, 4gb memory.
I have got a problem with my system. The Internet Explorer was working fine, but suddenly yesterday for any urlprovided in the browser window, it shows 'Page cannot be displayed'. Am not able to browse any pages.I tried the following---> Setting the Windows Security settings to default,---> Checking the network connections.---> Tried downloading Mozilla and tried browsing from that, to know whether the problem is with IE, but the same problem exist with Mozilla too.
I had to reinstall my OS (completely format it and wipe everything in HDD)...So after some searching i finally was able to reinstall my OS, and install most of the drivers.But after re-installing windows 7...the internet browsing speed has become extremely slow...Many webpages dont load at all...Torrents work at 100% speed...I have tried to connect to my pc manufacturers(dell) website and it takes forever to load...many common websites like malwarebytes, utorrent etc also dont load...Using different DNS servers(google, OPENDNS) didnt help much...So i thought that the problem might be with one of the drivers...In device management screen most of the drivers are installed...But for 1 driver there is an exclamation mark...I don't know what device it is..The driver name is "other devices->PCI simple communication controller".. what driver needs to be installed? i can't connect to dell website..So is there any other way i can update my driver?
I followed instructions to clear Windows7 update history, tried to delete all in the Datastore file but on double clicking the folder nothing appeared so unable to deletethe update history.
I performed a system recovery very recently on my HP Pavilion (Running Windows 7 OS). I re-installed Chrome as my default browser and my other programs. Lately, whenever I open my browser or any of my other programs, every page starts minimized and I have to use the maximize button to get a normal view. This was not the case previously and I do not know what has been changed in the system. Frequently, I use AVG PC Tuneup to clean up junk files, clean the registry, and defragment the disks. Is there a setting that is perhaps being erased by all the cleaning?
Most web sites that I try to visit cause an error to display at the bottom of the screen - A problem displaying xxxx.com caused internet explorer to refresh the web page using compatibilty view.The problem is that even though it's using compatibility mode, it usually only displays the web site header info, there's no detail. This happens on most web sites. I have another pc with Windows 7 and IE9 and have no problems. I compared the settings and everything looks OK.
I've been having this issue for 2 days now, and it is happening on IE9, FF, and Chrome. It does not happen with every webpage I navigate to, but it sure is a lot of them. (freelancer.com and techguy.com are prime examples). Sometimes they will load. Sometimes it will show up "Web Page Not Found". Other times it'll pull up the Yahoo! Search page as if I were searching for it (which i clearly typed in Freelancer.com - Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online). Things I've tried so far: Resetting my router. Resetting my modem. clearing all cache and cookies on all 3 browsers. Clearing any registry errors. Running CCleaner. Flushing my DNS settings again. Nothing seems to be working. I have my internet (cable modem, running 18-20mbps) direct connected to my Playstation 3, and I have 2 desktops connected, issue does not seem to be happening with the PS3, but both desktops are experiencing the issue. Both running Windows 7 Ult 32bit OS.
Mozilla Thunderbird is my e-mail default and accessible via the Command Bar icon in Internet Explorer 8. However, the options under the File tab on the IE8 Menu Bar to send a page or link by e-mail are greyed out and I cannot find any settings to activate them.
I am trying to keep my internet history from being deleted not by the computer but by anyone using my computer. So I managed to get the group policy editor installed into my computer (because my version of windows 7 didn't come with it). How to disable the delete internet browsing option i followed all the steps until I got to the last step where it wanted me to click on internet explorer and then go to the delete browsing option. When I got this step I found I had no delete browsing option. How I can stop my internet history from being deleted..
I recently bought a new desktop (Dell Intel core i5 2500 processor, 8gb ram, Windows 7 64bit Pro version). It is set up for automatic updates and I have not tweaked or added anything except Norton anti virus software. I am running IE9 (v9.02).
Yesterday I went to check up in IE9 Browsing History for a site I had visited earlier and found it was only displaying internal sites on my desktop visited. None of the various websites I had visited showed up. I looked back to earlier days and it was the same, nothing except internal searches.
I looked on the web for fixes, and found suggestions to check Internet options to check if it was set to Delete Browsing History when exiting search. It is not. Also to check if I am running In Private Browsing. I am not. And to try a reset of IE9 - I did and it made no difference.
I also have a Samsung Netbook running Windows 7 starter and the same version of IE9 (9.02) also running Norton anti virus and that is working just fine. So is it related to having Windows 7 64 bit version? Is there a fix?
