Cannot delete history of visited Web sites

Hello! For a week now trying to clear history of visited sites. First of all, I noticed that the top of the page is different. Where went "Internet Options," and when he was gone? Now I have to go to the control panel to erase history, but when I do, some sites remain listed. Help! I have Vista 32 and have recently updated to Internet Explorer 8. I did something wrong with the updates or could there be problems with incompatibility? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Kind regards!

Hi orkratz

You can try to remove the URL from the registry history
Here are the steps to do this:

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

Click Start
In the start search box, type regedit and press the ENTER key
Navigate to the following location
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
On the right side, remove all entries except the (default) entry
Close the registry editor

Please post back and let us know if it helped to solve the problem - thank you

    I received this after updating Firefox 18 to 19. What is the reason?

    don't know of pdf images - but this is a reproducible error the site up for each version of firefox on firefox 19. This is why I think it's a general problem in the way that they sniff the browser versions & probably, they will have to fix it on their end.

    It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC.  There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site.

    Click Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, and click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If the problem does not persist in Internet Explorer (No Add-ons), then it is one of the Add-ons at the origin of this problem. Please follow the steps below to locate the problem the weak module:

    a. restart IE normally.

    b. click on tools.

    c. click on Manage Add-ons.

    d. disable add-ons by clicking on them one at a time to highlight and then click Disable.

    Important: Reset Internet Explorer to its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.

    Follow these recommended steps and after if you still experience the problem.

  • Cannot update or load the Web site.

    Hi, my name of Chris and I bought a MacBook Air off of eBay about 2 years ago and I decided to use it and I noticed that I was on the version of Mac OS X 10.6.8 and he decided to search for software updates. As soon as I tried to check, he would fail and a pop up appears saying "Update software cannot verify updates due to a network problem". I am absolutely convinced that my internet connection completely works because I just got about 1 week ago. I am sorry to ask a lot, but another problem I have is that whenever I go online, some site not loading and under him, it appears "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". On the Web site like YouTube and Apple Discussion of work. It would help if someone could help me solve these 2 problems.

    You have access to another network where you can see if you still have the same problems? This will help determine if there is a problem with the network or computer.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • Cannot connect to a specific Web site

    For the last two weeks, I am unable to connect to a specific website (sharks.nhl.com). The user name and the password seem to go through fine (when I give a wrong password I get an error on the site), but the situation changes not connected.

    This problem exists on my desktop Linux and work only with Firefox. On my macbook/Firefox 30.0 it works very well on my windows laptop with IE 10 it works fine, on the same Linux with Chrome last he also works very well.

    However, it does not work with Firefox for Canonical Ubuntu and Firefox binary downloaded from the mozilla web site. I deleted cookies and other things and there is still no progress. The macbook Firefox and Linux firefox sync via Firefox Sync, for sets of modules are identical.

    This problem may be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked.

    • Check the permissions on the subject: permissions page and in "tools > Page Info > Permissions.

    Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Edit > Preferences > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Edit > Preferences > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".
  • Impossible to delete cookies for individual Web sites

    Turn Firefox 29 8.1 on windows 64-bit.

    This arose because a particular Web site difficulties to set a cookie (I think) - FF gave the error that the site Web server was redirect the request in a way that could not be completed-, but with a warning that it could be caused by cookies are not allowed. So I tried to delete the cookie for this particular website, but FF seems not to comply. It is removed from the list of cookies in the dialog box and I can close the dialog box, but if I reopen it the cookie it shows always also present. Make a second time does not help.

    I then found that this applies only to apply to a particular Web site, it is a Web site that stores a cookie. Cookies are set to be deleted when they expire that I find useful for some site store cookies (I can't find a white list that allows cookies deleted except those on the whitelist, this as opposed to the blacklist that prevent some websites from setting cookies at all).

    I tried the following:
    (1) open FF in safe mode, but I get the same result (cookie not deleted)
    (2) with closed FF rename cookies.sqlite to the road. Then begins with a 'clean' cookie file, I always get the same result (cookie is not deleted).
    I can confirm that the cookie is not removed by quickly opening the cookies.sqlite and by searching for the string of the Web site.

    I tried to adjust FF cookie 'political' to remove all at the end of the session and that works - but it eliminates also the most useful as well. Someone at - it ideas?

    Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Hello
    My computer is running Vista and I had this problem for the last 2 years! I can only receive the PDF sent by one of the companies I work for. I can't open most PDF files sent by attachment or all the files on Web sites. I have Adobe 9 and Foxit Reader and it does not work with either. I tried to re - install Adobe and still no luck. With Foxit Reader that I can manage to open the PDF files sent from the company I mentioned earlier, but that's all. I would really appreciate some help... Thank you very much! :) x

    Try this: uninstall all the software that you have to display the PDF documents. Then try to open a PDF file. You should receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file". If you get the message that the file is "corrupt" or "not supported" means that you have another program or display of PDF files.
    Once you receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file" download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.3).

  • Cannot access our local network Web site

    We have just added a Cisco ASA5510 to protect our network. Everything works except that no one in the local network can access our imail we site. Web site points to one of our public IP address, x.x.x.35 (we have access to the web site of outside and we can just? t do inside even after the addition of the ASA). Is it possible inside computers can access our web site using the public IP address? If not, my another option is to set up a record DNS pointing to the web site, for example 192.168.0.213 = www.chicagotech.net (name of the network domain is chicagotech.local)?

    If inside users try to connect to the public IP address then, it won't work. How do fix you this depends on where is your DNS server.

    If inside users use a DNS server on the external interface, and then you can have the ASA change the DNS response during its passage through the ASA. Just add the option "dns" on the end of your static controls so that they resemble the following:

    static (inside, outside) x.x.x.34 192.168.0.213 netmask 255.255.255.255 dns

    static (inside, outside) x.x.x.35 192.168.0.112 netmask 255.255.255.255 dns

    If inside users use a DNS server on the inside, but this server responds with the public IP address, so you'll have to change within a file so that it points to your local IP address 192.168.0.21x. No other way around it, I'm afraid.
