Somethings not right...

Hi, 9 times out of 10 when I click on a link I get the picture below, would this be a site fault or my computer which goes OK other sites.

 

Something missing from your computer, not sure as to what though

Sorry to be of no help...

Cheers

 

Hi manOFpeace,

This sounds like something that happened to me.

In internet options, general, accesability, see if your css box is checked, you may have used it for a page print and forgot to disable it.

Clearing this may alleviate the problem...


GF

 

Thanks Blackspear.

GlobalForce, all 4 boxes were unchecked (not checked).

 

Have you also checked your internet zones mOp?

If you have lots of stuff disabled in the internet zone and that shows at the bottom of the Wilders page (internet globe), you may need to add that to the "trusted sites."

You mentioned other sites are O.K.

See if you can differentiate anything on the screen between a good page, and the Wilders page for clues.

If not, I'm sure someone will jump in...

GF

 

Oh mOp

I just noticed your screenshot.

Done, but with errors on the page.

This will sometimes happen when jumping somewhere else before the page loads. Maybe a clean shot at refresh, after page load?

Also try the Wilders page with other apps closed (not virus).

This may alert you.

GF

 

GlobalForce, thankfully the problem seems to have moved on. At this time it is working perfectly.And I haven't a clue as to what it was. Thanks a lot for all the suggestions.

 

Hi LowWaterMark, The little error icon is not there anymore. That is all I got all last night and up until about now. I do empty the cache many times a day. I don't quite understand your sentence in brackets.
There seemed to be a few times if I used the links on the bottom of the page I could get around that way.

 

Hi again mOp,

What I believe LWM is referring to Is your IE cache.

In IE go tools, internet options, general, settings (in middle right screen), then look at "amount of disc space to use."

If you toy with a lot of images (they eat ram), you may want to increase the file size. Try this, I think this was where LWM was going.

If you experience this problem again, do as LWM suggests, click errors icon,
and save the report.

This may be helpful for others to pinpoint, should the event arise.

GF

 

Thanks GlobalForce, it's odd that it started when it did, I haven't been doing anything different to other days and not working with images these past couple of days.
Anyway thanks for your time, also other persons.

 

People here at Wilders, including guests, are either here for help, or to offer it.
The door swings both ways.

Everyone knows a bit about something when it comes to problems.

On behalf of others in this thread, your quite welcome.

In the future mOp, if somebody mentions instructions you don't understand,
grab the keywords from the text and check them out in the index (systems help file or IE help).

This may also be a useful link for reference (search alphabetically).

Don't forget, if this happens again, save a screenshot of the errors (if possible) and post in this same thread. It will probably move back a few pages, but a fresh post will usually revert back to the first page where someone will see it, O.K.

GF

 

Thanks. I notice your link starts with SP2. I am deliberately going to have a go without any MS patches at all. My security should help a long way. I have nothing at the moment on my computer I care too much about so can reinstall XP Home anytime.
I posted elsewhere that I reformatted and reinstalled all my spyware and AV + all other stuff. I finished off with SP1 disk and it completely drove computer crazy, how it escaped crashing, I don't know. I had to pull the wall plug to get it stopped. (Maybe starting with SP1 would have helped.)
Anyway not missing much not having SP2 by the look of things.
I also do believe it is slightly faster without SP1 and about 60 patches.

 

The link is only TO that site.
SP2 just happens to be the main page.

I said :

That's ALL.

What you wrote after the first paragraph is being discussed in another forum.

I've enjoyed watching this thread.

If the problem was resolved for now, that's Great!


GF

 

Good Morning, here is to-days error, I then went to links at bottom of page and got in that way.

 

Back so soon?

This one's beyond my scope at the moment. But I'm sure Mr. LWM will like to have a looksee at it.

I'm not to versed in the field of diagnostics, but this may actually have to do with a "parsing" element
(possibly your system, going back to Blackspears comment, "something missing").

I think LWM or someone else should follow up on this for you, O.K. mOp.
Sorry I don't have the answer...

GF

 

Just a wild thought mOp.

You could in the meantime search your problem using the keywords of your post.

Just a thought.

GF

 

Weird -- this one will definitely have to wait for LWM, he's the expert at (and does virtually all the work here on) page design and site maintenance.

What it vaguely looks like is a compatibility error between a browser and HMTL coded for a specific browser's "dialect". But LWM is very fastidious about sticking to "generic" HMTL so that any browser can read and display pages here properly.

Hang in there, we'll come up with answers yet.

 

Thanks GF and MikeBCda.

 

And one more just in case it's of further value.

 

Thank's for jumping in Mike.

Not the last person I expected, but a nice surprise!

I don't know enough about this to make a call.

Are you paying attention mOp, I know I am.

GF

 

LowWaterMark, not unless this has something to do with AdShield, I had a lot of hassle with it over the weekend. See attachment. When I r/clicked screen to bring up AdShield it presented me with that in attachment. After that AdShield was completely dead. It was OK before reformat but wasn't helpful about being changed over.
It is interesting that if I use the bottom links I can move around WSF OK.

 

Thanks LowWaterMark, AdShield is gone forever, I have given up hope, it was a very useful utility. I have it off my machine altogether. Would it be helpful to reinstall system again?
XP Home.
