Internet Explorer 6 problemzz!

[lankan_man]

I got the latest version of IE6 and today I wanted to go check my mail in hotmail and it did not work, then I wanted to go on the videotron site to check my bandwidth use but the page did not load properly. Then when I tried both of those stuff using Firefox it worked. Whats wrong with my IE6???

Did you get this fixed yet ?

[lankan_man]

nope i am still waiting for it to get ficexed, oh and when i'm on man messenger and I click read messages, from there, my mail still doesent load! But rite know i am using Opera and it seems to work fine, but I still want my IE to get fixed. What shall I do?

The first thing you should do is go into Internet Options and make sure the security setting arent set to high.

Does it give you any error code or something ?

[lankan_man]

It simply brings me to this link "http://loginnet.passport.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&fsa=1&fsat=1296000&lc=4105&_lang=EN" when i do www.hotmail.com and then there is just a white screen and it stopped loading. And the security level is set to deffaulf (that means in my cas medium)

Go to tools - internet options and click 'restore defaults' under the 'advanced' tab. That helped when I had a similar problem.

Do you have IE Sp1? Try reinstalling IE 6 if nothing else works. Its probably a virus or corrupt file problem.

Firstly delete your Temp internet files and cookies from IE. Tools > Internet Options.

Now try the hotmail page.

If that solution hasn't fixed it try the following:

Look in the hosts file, located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.Open the file with notepad and delete any reference to hotmail.Save the changes and hit OK.

how to know if its a reference to hotmail notepad file??

[Reverend]

how to know if its a reference to hotmail notepad file??This is the default contents of the hosts file:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

If your contains anything related to hotmail,delete that reference.

Okay so I gotta do that for each files rite,cuz there isnt only one notpad file

[Reverend]

Okay so I gotta do that for each files rite,cuz there isnt only one notpad file What do you mean "each file".There is only one hosts file. :confused: :confused:

Follow my previous instructions.

Look in the hosts file, located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.Open the file with notepad and delete any reference to hotmail.Save the changes and hit OK.

ok i did what u said [Look in the hosts file, located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.] then this is wut i found in the file:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 support.alcohol-soft.com
127.0.0.1 serial.alcohol-soft.com
127.0.0.1 localhost

Delete your Temp internet files and cookies from IE. Tools > Internet Options.

Or try what tarun suggested:

Go to tools - internet options and click 'restore defaults' under the 'advanced' tab.

Try reinstalling IE 6 if nothing else works.

[lankan_man]

I did everything u said except reinstalling IE cuz when I try reistalling it they say thete there is a newer version installed. so what shall I do?

[Reverend]

Did the other solutions work. Have you tried the sites again ???

[lankan_man]

yeah, but it still did not work, look...

i'm on IE right, then I type www.hotmail.com then it loads and on the adress bar they give this " http://loginnet.passport.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&fsa=1&fsat=1296000&lc=4105&_lang=EN "
then u know that little windows flag well it stops waving?? so this is really screwy, but its not that only for hotmail also for videotron and i bet for other web pages too.

I ran the spyware [ad-aware] and i ran the antivirus [NOD32] but it still keeps screwing up! I seriously would want to know whats wrong!
But its not that urgent cuz now i'm using opera which is way better but I would like to fix that IE of mines!
My IE version is a Internet Explore with sp1

well please help if u could

thx reverend and the others

[lankan_man]

well no problem now, cuz i reformated my pc and now its working pretty well!
Still thx for all your help :D
