URGENT PROBLEMS

which two files? plus after my computer is clean, cuf you help me with the "open in new window problem" cheers

 

These are the two files Niobis mentioned to delete. Now the open in new window error might be corrected if you update your IE to version 7. You do not need to open items in new windows because you have tab browsing.

I however would go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ and download Firefox 2. It is a much better browser than IE. You will need to add some features to it, but it is easy to do.

 

ok but a couple of problems here, one internet 7 is not supported on windows 98 and the 2nd is that although mozilla is good, i like to hav msn and msn messenger need internet explorer 6 to run so if i have both, i lose quite a bit of memory

 

hello, sorry for double posting but can i please have some help i have tried everything you have said but still nothing to sort out the opening in new window

 

You can still use MSN Messenger while running Firefox. There shouldn't be a problem with memory. Firefox is a much safer browser than IE 6. Get a couple of add-ons like No Script, Pop-Up blocker, and you can change your theme to have a different appearance. Try it and if you do not like it you may remove it.

I will see if I can figure out why the open new window opens blank. Make sure you have the latest updates to IE. Something may have been removed.

 

i have tried firefox and uninstalled internet explorer but when you install msn messanger 7.0 it says you still need internet explorer 6
i dont want to have 2 internet browsers as it take up too much memory

i have tried downloading the updates from microsoft/windows update but i get all the way to review and install updates then when it says, "downloading updates", it does not freeze but there is no progress and i hjave left this on over nite etc and still nofin

any other help

plz

 

I am not 100% sure about it. It sounds like your problem is IE itself. Remove all of the updates that you have made to IE and maybe that will correct the problem. It could be that one of the components on an update did not install successfully. Give that a shot and see if it works.
