Internet Explorer 6 problemzz!
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 ?
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 ?
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??
This is the default contents of the hosts file:Originally Posted by lankan_man
If your contains anything related to hotmail,delete that reference.Code:# 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
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.
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.
#
# 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 support.alcohol-soft.com
127.0.0.1 serial.alcohol-soft.com
127.0.0.1 localhost
AmsServer
am I supposed 2 delete these 2 lines 127.0.0.1 support.alcohol-soft.com
127.0.0.1 serial.alcohol-soft.com
cuz its not the same as ur hosts. file
No you can leave them.
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.
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?
