Ie Help!!!

[hawkburn]

OK a few days ago I started having a problem with my favorite program - IE, my problem is with pop up windows


Whether ad popup windows or ones i chose to open this problem happens:

A new IE window pops up, then just nothing happens, it shows the part with the file/edit/view ect and the back/forward/refresh/home/url entry, but where the webpage should be showing, all i see is the webpage under that, where the page should be showing is see through, i can see nothing there but what is under that!!

Any help would be greatly greatly super greatly appreciated.

PS. ive been trying out Opera and Mozilla/Netscape but nothing feels as good as my old home - IE 6!!

do you use kazaalite or have you done anything to your hosts file to block ads?
sounds like ads are being blocked, the window opens but the ads are not their. You might want to use a pop-up stopper like adkiller.
that is exactly what happens to me if I don't block popups, but I am using a adblocker, so the windows do pop up but the ads are blocked.
hope this makes sense to you. Or explain more...

I agree I would use a host file. And also I use PopUpCop, but there are some many popup ad programs....PopUp Stopper, PopUp Killer, ...etc.

:devil I've been using the pop up killer program from analogx.com. It's pretty good but some sites will disable it. You have to train it but works pretty good for freeware

[hawkburn]

thanx for your responces guys....

yes Rickio i dd use KaZaA Lite at one time, but switched to KaZaA with DietK. I used a pop up stopper named StopZilla! and it worked wonders, although while using it, it made my system slow and my problem started. So i discontinued use and now am using a proggy called NoAds for pop up killing and it works good, although my problem still exists. But i was experimenting with those mystery windows, and if i hit the stop button and then refresh, it works fine.

Hope this clears up some stuff.

[Rickio]

so is your problem fixed to your satisfaction then?

as I remember DietK does block ads, that is most likely one reason pop ups were blank.
Are the windows that appear empty ads or are they webiste you want to see?
It seems your popup stopper that gave you problems may have affected something. I recommend hunting down any registrry settings it made and deleteing them. Regcleaner , found at webattack is good for that. It is freeware. There seems to be to apps with that name and one is microsoft (don't use microsoft version)

[hawkburn]

the blank windows are the pages that i requested to open, the ads show up blank too, but the original good part doesnt show up, so i tried RegCleaner and i really cleaned up everything, thanks Rickio, but my IE windows still dont work.....

But you know what? I found a new home - Mozilla 1.1 and i found a skin to make it look exactly like IE, and it works the same, so its like migrating from Napster to KaZaA!!

Thanks for all yalls (yalls= "I'm from Texas") help. If any more ideas come up then tell me but im okay as of now!!

Thanks again!!

Hmmm It sounds like somehow your IE got corrupted in some way. You can repair your installation of IE if you got to add/remove programs and click on IE, it will come up a box asking if you want to uninstall or repair, of course pick repair. It may work after that, if not you should download the newest version and install it.

Glad you got something to work though!
Have you ever tried Opera web browser? You might like it, try it!
It is very quick and I like it better than mozilla. My preferance is IE first, then Opera then Mozilla.
Mozilla is good but it uses more resources and I tend to keep my machine lean and fast.

Peace!

double click the little globe in the bottom right corner/click custom level.go to active scripting and select disable.

Popups are eliminated.. Some sites need java for things like fancy navigation menus and etc. in which case you switch it back..

Opera web browser?

[aqlo]

Opera™ is the slimmest sweetest little browser ever made, it's free for the ordinary user, lets you control almost everything (like pop-ups and offsite includes i e ads) and it has a thingie where you can zoom your pages to 150% or whatever. Go to opera.com
