To MM et all
Hi mm et all,,,
I told mm a few days ago that when visiting www's the jpeg's or whatevers werent showing, then a buddy dropped by for a few mins and ticked/un-ticked something in IE advanced dialogue box and voila they showed again after reboot.......... Since then I still have the same prob and it also gives a page error when visiting sites to the extent that I cannot download things. Latest was a visit to 'geeks' site to get a security ute and download was disallowed due to page error. Anyone know what the heck it is that is supposed to be ticked or un-ticked that enables this scenario, and what I can do to stop it happening again? Also, in the last week I have d/loaded all patches for 98 from micro plus installed many free proggies like ....spybot, adaware, shredder and etc. (now that I'm on that topic too, I still get one that just seems to slip in under the radar that spybot picks up but doesnt nuke on its way in, there must be something else I need to d/l that stops these type of things even entering into my system.......am running norton too.) as usual.............tia jeff |

(Control PanelInternet Options; on the General tab under Temporary Internet Files, click the "Delete Files" button; then tick the "delete off-line content" option also.) If that clears up the problem, then you need to increase the amount of storage for the TIF folder. There should be a slider to adjust the size, click the settings button(same area as "delete files") if it's not visible. Don't go crazy with the setting, you don't want to turn your PC into a proxy server. You can go to the advanced tab in Internet Options and scroll down to security and check the box next to "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed". Spybot and Ad-Aware do not block the crap, they remove them. Spyware Blaster does block many of them before they get on your system. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ What file keeps getting through to your PC? Post back with the one Spybot keeps finding. MM |

Jeff, I just noticed that you are using your real email address(I think) when posting to the newsgroup. All newsgroups are searched by spammers, etc. looking to harvest email addresses. You need to alter your address so that it is unusable to them; adding NOSPAM or something like in your address will do. You can also just make one up, just be certain it couldn't possibly be some other poor soul's address. You will probably start getting a lot of spam and some with viruses. Since this is a MS newsgroup, many of those may claim to be from Microsoft with "important updates". You may find it best to contact your Internet provider about changing your email address. MM |

Alan,
I'm a newcomer and as you obviously know the excitement of in finding stuff sometimes over-rides logical/rational. In regard to the post:....... When I 'visit' www's I am unable to view/see the "advertising/jpgs/bmp's/gif's/pictures/" & etc. Recently I was trying to d/load a proggy/ute from micro site & also geek site & was unable to do so due to a message saying "page error". I put this down to the fact that none of the sites images were displaying. So, all that aside, a few nights ago I had a similar problem and a friend dropped by and clicked on "IE,. then options, then 'advanced' and either put a tick some boxes or took out a tick or two...................but his motive was to fix the prob I was having. Having said that, Alan, things seemed to work fine for the next couple of times I logged onto the net, but at the moment things have reverted back to the non-display problem I mentioned. Also, in the last 7 days or so, I have been trying to exercise caution by visiting these types of n/g's and following the advice given by d/loading proggies & utes to minimise computer problems. As such, I have all sorts of spyware types of things running on my computer, including: "spyware, adaware, shredder, & etc". I also have my stand alone "norton". Now, back to the gist of this post........... I now cannot see http.www's as they should be seen and I guess I'm asking if anyone knows why. Sorry for any mis-understandings alan. Advice is always welcome and checked out. tia jeff "Alan Edwards" wrote in message ... jeff, For those of us who find trouble following all your new posts which have little information on your problem, can you please respond to the original? ...et al...
