'Error 1324. The folder path 'My Pictures' contains an invalid character' message is a huge problem with Windows 7. Anytime a user has folder redirection for document, pictures, music, ect... msi's will give the following message when configuring or installing. Not all MSI's have a problem but some do and it makes deploying software a nightmare. Yes, I know there is the option of resetting your user shell folder paths back to default, but we need redirection and the msi packages do not like the \\servername\ in the users profile path. This needs to be fixed!! The registry key causing problems is HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Ex…

View and Track downloads, what the heck?
by Guest Hockamama- 0 replies
- 137 views
Every time I click my IE icon to get online, it opens, then immediately a box pops up and the browser closes. The box says view and track your downloads. The name is getpagemodel...www.google.com. It asks me if I want to save this file, but no matter what I do (save, save as...or X) IE will not open. Thankfully I also have Mozilla available, or I'd never be able to access the web. This just started today, and I'm not sure how to get around it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Holly Continue reading...

Internet Explorer isn't working but AOL is??
by Guest sbeeby- 0 replies
- 102 views
I have recently started using a T-Mobile Dongle. It has been working fine until about 10 days ago. If I try to load IE it just says IE cannot display the page. However, AOL still works so I presume it is not the dongle. I tried restoring my computer back two weeks to when it was working. Also I have reinstalled the dongle software and reset the IE settings to the factory settings. None of these worked. AOL seems to be working fine but it did stop working earlier. It started saying page cannot be displayed but then I restarted the computer and it worked. Please help! Continue reading...
