Problems with Internet Explorer 6.x

[Bob Hubbard]

ok, popups - We dont have em, never will.

Goto the following site : http://www.panicware.com
Its a POPUP stopper. note, it also disables the 'new window' feature, so I only use it on sites I know do popups.


Spyware **** : Goto http://www.lavasoftusa.com/downloads.html
You want the following files:
Ad-aware 5.62 Final 834 kb (install)
Ad-aware signature file (ref # 241-14-01-2002) 13.2kb (unzip into the lavasoft directory)

Run it at full...delete all that spyware crap.

The -only- reason you should see popups here is if you click on a link to another website, or a few other bits here. You should not see 'bonzi buddy, X11, casiino, etc.'.

Spyware is those crap programs that install prom the popups, etc. Kazaa, GoZillia, most of the 'download accelerators', Gator, and a ton more. Its not neccesarily a M$ thing, but the net advertizing market being real poor right now.

Thanks Kaith, I'm doing it as we speak. I've had two pop-ups in the few minutes I've been here! I only use IE for this site and use NS for all other things so I only notice IE-related things here.

 

[arnisador]

Ad-Aware has identified the culprit: Download Accelerator Plus. I am removing it now. Thanks for the advice Kaith.

I still get IE popping up in inch-by-inch squares that have to be maximized. I read about Mozilla again today; isi tworth a try?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I'll try to snag the current build and give it a look.

 

[arnisador]

My IE now opens as only an inch-by-eighth of an inch toolbar. It's actually gotten worse! Beavis, this suck--change it!

 

[Bob Hubbard]

There is some setting burried in there that I cant find that controls that. You should be able to hit the 'maximize' button and expand it, OR! manually resize it.

Only thing I can suggest is hit http://technet.microsoft.com and check there.

Make sure your'e running a current version too.

 

[arnisador]

I can expand it, though sometimes I accidentally close it because it's so small. I'd like it to expand big. I'll check the Micro$oft site.

 

[arnisador]

This fixed itself, and now I've increased the resolution and it happens again! Not as bad as before--the new windows are about one-third size. Sheesh!

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Heh.. mines stuck opening to a certain size...no clue why, just started happening. IE is flaky. Its that simple.
