Whenever I open a web page it must be pulling the image from a temporary folder. For example, if I opened a news page a week ago and then went to open it again today, it would display the page from a week ago. This is driving me crazy as I have to go to the desired page and then hit the refresh button to get the updated page to display.

My annoyance of the monthI browse a CD, and all is fine. I remove the CD and insert another one but explorer will not refresh the contents. It sounds like this is not unique to my system, as others are experiencing the same thing. Are there any solutions out there so that I do not have to use windows to eject (via rt
click >eject) to refresh it
This problem is that I have an active internet connection (dial-up) but neither of my two browsers (IE6 and Netscape) can find any websites. This is running XP Pro.It's as if the connection isn't recognized as being there? I've tried pinging but that doesn't work either.What can go wrong between having an active connection (shown on the task-bar icon) and having it accessible to applications? What can I check on?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor simple systems/ setups, some may find the following ‘completist’ procedure most useful for refreshing their systems. Stark beginners may, however, wish to steer clear. Those with more complicated systems may wish to steer clear, or carefully modify approach. Simple as it may appear to some, it needs to be followed in strict order/sequence. Setting a System Restore point is advisable oh, come on, you can turn Sys Restore back on for this, at least for a week or two!) I particularly like it, as a system refresher. This is because I like to keep my setup on all the time although I don’t recommend abusing one’s monitor this way – powering the monitor off before going to bed, or when away for a time, is the best advice there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter reading an article in "Wired" last night, I installed the Google Toolbar on my Windows 2000 XP HE. I ran Ad-AwareSE and SpyBot. Browsing seemed to go quicker and smoother. This morning, however, I got a MS Windows message concerning "possible" trouble with my browser. It recommended examining my add-ons in IE. I don't have sufficient knowledge to recognize what I should and shouldn't have or, more appropriately, what may be harmful here. I know that those "RealPlayer" programs are invasive so when I saw that listed, I disabled it.
View 23 Replies View RelatedI recently reformatted and installed Windows XP Home fresh on both my desktop and laptop. All worked fine even after getting updated until the last update on each. On the desktop it included Service pack 2 update but not on the laptop, it was a new update but still has only service pack 1. On each computer the browsers both IE6 and foxfire started running very slow. IT would take many seconds to get new pages open. On the laptop I restored and IE6 works fine but I am still having a problem with Foxfire and it also received a Foxfire update. Any idea how to fix this problem without restoring and losing the needed update? I have run XP on both systems for a good while and never had this problem.

for some reason every time I start up my computer I get a Bad Image message saying that the file mshtml.dll is not a valid image. Because of this I can't use the internet! I take it out of the folder and put it back in and my internet starts to work. Now when I go to Internet Explorer I go to the browser and when I type in a site it just crashes and says IE has encountered a problem it has to shutdown. Luckly I have AOL also! but when I try to download with either browsers, it just shows a bar in the left corner loading as it does when you go to any other site and then it just stops and goes away.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had XP 64 installed for a about 10 days now and everything is working fine. I didn't have any issues with drivers or applications. The default install and updates seem to use two versions of IE (64 and 32). I've swapped all my icons to choose the 32 bit version since there is no flash support for 64 bit browsers at this time. My problem is that I get a lot of links inside emails and when I click on those it always uses the 64 bit version. I've tried to change the default browser option through control panel but it only offers the option of IE and won't let me select which IE. I also have IE 32 set to check to make sure it's the default browser. I've done some Google searches but I must not be asking the right question because I can's find much on IE 64.
