Whatever website I open (Yahoo, Dogpile, Mail.com, and yes even Techguy.org), my Windows 8.1 is reporting dozens of malicious websites being accessed in the range of 74.120.16.xx,xx,xx,xx, etc. Tracing one of these addresses reports that it is a Honey Pot. How can I stop Techguy.org and others from sending me these malicious intrusions, or how can I stop Windows 8.1 from filling the screen with these malicious website reports. (And Techguy.org continues to send these malicious intrusions throughout my session, even as I write this complaint.) I have set security from Medium-high to Medium which seems to be the lowest setting. I am using the Chrome browser. I stopped using the built-in Explorer 11 because I can no longer get my on-line college course assignments or my Walgreens photos, but the malicious reports keep coming. I don't want to abandon Windows 8.1.
I have been using Stardock's IconPackager for a while, and after a lack of updates with that, it has eventually stopped working with most of the main icons within Windows 8.1.
I have followed many tutorials and have used RegEdit to change the icons, and have checked them with their 64 bit counterparts as well, and I have even edited both imageres.dlls.
So, now I am stumped as to what could possible be stopping this from working.
The empty folder works fine, but once something gets added in, then it breaks. I have triple checked imageres.dll and the front / back / open / closed parts of the folder are changed correctly in both of the dlls using Resource Hacker (also checked each dll with IconsExtract).
Is there another dll that "assists" Windows 8.1 with icon images?
This is slightly related to the whole buggy icon image problem, but for some reason when I go to a folder that is in my Downloads folder, then the icon is shown on the This PC area in the navigation pane (I did remove the other folders from This PC and just left the drive folders using RegEdit), and the icon thati s displayed is wrong.
I am running win 8 pro on a toshiba laptop R700 S1312 64 bit with 8G Ram. I am getting numerous 10016 errors (same error) after every restart.

I bought a new laptop (Vaio Pro) a couple weeks ago, and it's been bluescreening repeatedly ever since (about 20 times in two weeks). I'd send it back to the manufacturer, but I'm currently being interviewed for several jobs, each of which requires an interview presentation, so I absolutely definitely need access to it at the moment, and that's unlikely to change in the next few weeks sadly.
I've attached the Diagnostic Tool output.
The error messages appear unrelated, which I would guess is symptomatic of a fairly low level problem.? The most common ones are "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", but there are others (see dump files).
There's no obvious pattern to when the crashes occur, except maybe a very slight increased probability when playing a game (although it still happens when I'm working as well) .
My new PC is crashing constantly with the following errors:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (About 10 times per day) SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION (This actually happened 3-4 times today (once while I was typing this message) PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (Maybe 4-5 times per day...usually when I'm trying to update STEAM?) KERNAL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (Only saw this once and it was when I was installing WoW)
There seems to be no method to this things madness.
I am using Windows 8. Often a web page will not fully load and I have use "refresh" one or more times to get it to load. Is there something I am doing wrong or a setting I can change?
When I surf using IE 11 under windows8, I routinely run into problems where sites are not displayed correctly. See attached, a yahoo page. Items overlap, or just flat out never show (blank areas)..
I've checked compatibility settings.. Is there anything else I can do to show these pages correctly? IE under Windows7 shows them correctly..
I cannot change cameras I want to use on some websites (Skype and yahoo ok). When I go to try to select an external cam on some websites which merely show "About Adobe Flash Player" in the "camera area", I can't seem to pull up the icon which allows me to select the external camera. The internal camera works just fine on those sites, but if I disabled the internal camera "hoping the computer" would recognize the external camera as the "new default" camera, I then have no camera whatsoever on those sites.
When I start my computer (which is running win 8), yahoo messenger won't sign in, and certain websites won't load for me for about 10-15 minutes. So it's just for certain websites, and the yahoo messenger client. Skype and 90% of the websites load with no problems whatsoever. And it only happens after i turn on my machine, or after a restart.
The problem persists no matter what browsers i use. When i ping those websites, I get replies from them, everything looks just fine, but they just won't load. After 10-15 minutes, they just fire up, all at once and i get no problems whatsoever. It's not a problem with the internet connection, as I got another windows running machine, an iPad, and my gf's Mac, and none of them are experiencing this issue. Plus, it also happens when i'm using any other network from a different location.
I have flushed my dns, and have run antivirus solutions like dr. web, combofix and malwarebyes anti-malware, and still no joy. My windows updates are up to date.. Do you need any other info for a diagnostic?
I have windows 8 on my acer laptop, and I'm having issues with opening websites. All of my browsers are acting the same, there are some websites that load up completely blank, It is so frustrating, I can't do anything. I can't even load up my Router IP Address configurations. Why it suddenly started happening.
I cannot get my computer to remember passwords. Driving me nuts to have to log into each site every single time I visit. Just purchased this laptop less than a week ago. It's HP running windows 8.
I have Windows 8 home with IE 10. I want to DISABLE selective browser history deletion (open history, right-click-delete certain websites). I don't have gpedit.msc but I believe it falls under the "Prevent User from deleting websites visited" or something along those lines. I found a registry key edit "CleanHistory" and I have changed the value back and forth from 0 and 1 but it still hasn't stopped me from being able to selectively delete. I found the registry key on multiple websites so I imagine it's supposed to work but it just isn't. User error, perhaps?
I have tried to record from a website with both Audacity and WavePad, but they can only record via the speakers, and of course this is not what I want - so how can I record directly??
When ever I try to open a file, I receive the error I have attached. If I view download, right click the file I am trying to open and open it with reader, than it opens correctly. How can I get the file to open correctly without doing the work around?
We bought a new computer for my granddaughter. Since non had Windows 7 on it, (which I know how to use). We had to buy one with Windows 8. Learning to find out how to remove All the ads and non needed programs has been an ongoing challenge. Right now she only wants to go to very few sites. but Ads along with false java download keep poping up on her browser even thou I tryed hunting down anything that might call them up
She has Mccaffee virus scan and regitpro (I think its called that , she is using pc at thistime so I cant check.)
Is there a way to block a url? These popups do not show up on my computer when I go to the same page as she is on. ITs like an online ad program it adds more ads to websites you visit that are not on the actual website.
Apparently it started a few weeks ago and only on certain websites, certain letters look distorted and I can't figure out why it happens or how to fix it- at first I thought it had to do with the AMD 14.x drivers but it still happens with an Nvidia card in it and I'm using a BenQ GL2450HM and there doesn't seem to be any issues found about it. I also disabled hardware acceleration in the browsers and it doesn't seem to be any different and also tried HDMI and DVI.
I currently use 125% text scale in Windows, tried it at 100% and still occurs but at certain zoom it gets worse.
This is most noticeable on Battlelog, notice purple-green blending around the words "awful smell" and orange around the letter I.
So upgraded to 8.1 from 8.0 in the hope it was more user friendly but no evidence so far but that's not my issue...now when I'm in Internet Explorer if I click on a link or even a webpage...it takes me to a blank screen that tells me to 'check the link'....if I refresh nothing happens but if I go back to the original link or web icon and try again it loads the page (sometimes takes a couple of goes to do it)...also it keeps asking me to 'login' to frequently used things like facebook and my Hotmail account which it never did in the past....when using 8.0 it was all good but nothing but trouble in 8.1.
I don't know what I did, but all the background images on all websites (including this one) are gone...if I right click on the web page, the selection "View Background image" is greyed out, disabled. How to reset the background images on websites so they appear again..
I just got a new computer with Windows 8, I use Firefox. If I open these websites with IE, the background images are there. So what did I do to my Firefox settings?
I have spent over 4 hours searching through the control panel, tools, Firefox itself, and I can't find a solution.
My internet has been playing up recently, Some websites don't load or some load without all content, such as a cached version of the site.
So I've researched around and I've tried the following to resolve it:
Flushed DNS Cleared browser history Tried different browsers Tried to use OpenDNS and the google one Connecting via cable to the router System File checker Disabled firewall and antivirus
Just switched to my main monitor and am having major problems with websites. Seem every website I go to I have to manually zoom to make the text bigger so I can read. Isn't there a setting to make all the websites the same? Oh, I'm using Firefox if that makes a difference.
How do I get web sites with audio that uses media players such as WMA to work? Whenever I go to a web site that my old Windows 7 desktop would play with Windows Media player the new laptop doesn't play the audio at all. It works fine with flash, but just not the media player. Do I just not have something enabled or have they changed something in the new OS?
I downloaded the latest Internet Explorer and now everything on the Start screen is opening on the desktop. How do I get them back to the Start screen?
Recently my computer ran into a problem, couple of days ago, I could play or view websites just fine, just that day when I came back from outside I launched my game (The secret world) and the launcher got stuck at Downloading patch information.. (which was actually trying to connect to the server for patching) It was just stuck at there, so, I tried opening the game's website for support, but surprise, I can't either..
this is the error Google Chrome shows me ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. So I can't play nor see the website BUT, when I use a proxy in chrome, I can see the website just fine, and no, im not banned from the game..
This is what I've tried so far..
Flushing DNS Cleaning dns cache Resetting router / modem settings to factory Rebooting several times
And I even restored my whole PC to fabric state (Yup, I formatted and all)
I have re installed the Window8 Pro completely, it is still not stop BSOD. It happened frequently everytime when i played Guild Wars 2. I did not overclock at all, even if i want to. I used to overclock before when i used the same specs PC and never had any problem at all, somehow one day i updated my graphic cards ,then it started to BSOD.
MY PC Specs CPU: i5 2500K Motherboard:GA-Z68XP-UD3P (rev. 1.3) RAM: corsair vengeance 1600 8gb GPU: HIS HD7970 Ghz Edition IceQ X2
THe HDD raid 0 (Primary) and my SSD Raid 0 as well. not sure if it is also caused BSOD.
I pluged my laptop into an old dial-up connection and a strange problem developed. Websites began shrinking in size until they were so small they could not be read. I ran AVG antivirus and IObit Malware, but they detect no problems.
