How come my computer freezes when I access the Internet from home? 

by Guest Geek on October 24, 2009

Q: I have just brought a new Dell Studio in July 2009 with Windows Vista and about a couple of months ago it started to run slow. Every time you access the Internet it freezes and shows progamme not responding and then after a while it seems to run fine and it keeps on freezing every five to ten minutes. Even when you end task it still shows programme not responding. We took it to the shop where we brought it from and when he accessed the Internet it was running just fine and it didnt freeze. as Soon as we connected it at home it showed the same problem. Please advice.

 
 

Moving favorites from your old PC 

by matt on August 17, 2009

Q: I copied my IE favorites folder before restoring my PC. Now when I copy the links back to Favorites on the restored PC, the links don’t work. Is there a way to make these work even though I did not do the Export properly?

A: Generally speaking, there are two ways to restore favorites in Internet Explorer.

1. If you used File => Import and Export to backup your favorites, use the same command to restore your favorites. All of your favorites would have been saved as a single .htm file. Read the rest of this entry »

Getting in and out of fullscreen mode with IE 

by matt on August 13, 2009

Q: I hit a button on my keyboard and now my taskbar to Internet Explorer only shows when I move my cursor over it. It’s like I’m stuck in full-screen mode because the bottom bar is also gone. I know this must just be a setting but I have no idea how to fix it. Also, the taskbar that shows up when I move the cursor to the top of the page is only from the Back and Forward arrows down (i.e. I don’t have the bar saying what program I’m using or File, Edit, Tools, etc. either). Help please (I have an HP a1220n, if that helps to know what keyboard comes with it)!

A: Sometimes fullscreen mode is useful but other times people get into it by accident. To enter or exit fullscreen mode in Internet Explorer all you have to do is press the F11 button.

How can I get Internet Explorer to stop giving instruction errors? 

by Guest Geek on August 10, 2009

Q: Whenever I try to open Internet Explorer I get the following message: “The instruction at 0×0096001c referenced at 0×0096001c. The memory could not be written.”

I get the following options:
Click OK to terminate the program
Click CANCEL to debug the program

However if I click CANCEL, nothing happens, and if I click OK, I get another error message: “The instruction at 0×00962560 referenced at 0×0096250. The memory could not be written.”

The only option I get is: Click OK to terminate the program.

I click OK, and nothing happens.

This is frustrating because it happens every time I try go open Internet Explorer, so I cant use it at all. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

How do I get Dell Support service to stop crashing IE? 

by Guest Geek on July 14, 2009

Q: I just bought a Dell Studio Slim Desktop. I set up my DSL using MSN Browser, but an Internet Explorer Script Error keeps popping up and showing a “dell support” website in the error message. I’ve gone through the steps to make the error message not appear but it does not work. There is a Dell Support Icon running in the background, I believe that is what’s causing it. However, even though I’m under 3 yr warranty, Dell On Call wanted to charge me over $100 bucks to fix it! Can someone tell me if I can disable my “Dell Support” on Vista safely or if I can take away Internet Explorer? I do not want to mess up a new computer!
