- 122 views
I have two issues which come up frequently. I have IE 9 on my computer. The two issues are: Red x’s in image boxes on web pages. If I right click on the box with the red X and click “show picture” the picture may or may not appear. The second issue is when I go to a site instead of the site showing I’ll get “internet explorer cannot display the webpage” After clicking on “daignose connection problems” a small window comes up and says: ‘WINDOWS DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPUTERS NETWORK CONNECTION” Do you want to report this to Microsoft? Additional details about what went wrong can help create a solution” the report will be sent next time you go online” then a…

I want to have GMT Standard Time_dstoff . When I do this OOBE still displays the time options. When I have GMT Standard Time it does not. I don't want the DST setting kicking on. See TimeZone for more information. I have tried Coordinated Universal Time as well but _dstoff doesn't have an effect. Continue reading...

I was using IE 8 and started having issues with it giving me a message that says Internet Explorer has stopped working...searching for solution then would pop up with message that says it stopped working correctly and allows me to close program. I upgraded to IE 9 hoping that would fix the problem and it is still happening. It doesn't actually close anything except the window, it does it every time. Very annoying as I have to wait for it to finish and then click the close program button to be able to continue. I've had to download another browser but would rather use IE! Continue reading...
