  I installed the latest IE, but I keep getting a notice to download whenever I start.  How can I stop it?

  Hello Buster Funch,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  First of all, you can try to check what version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer.

  To determine the version of Internet Explorer, click on about Internet Explorer on the Help menu or press Alt + H and then press A.

  If you are repeatedly prompted to download and install the Windows Internet Explorer update, I suggest that you try to check if Internet Explorer is installed correctly. See this article for more information on this:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-should-I-do-if-Internet-Explorer-8-doesn ' t-install properly

  You can try to reset the Internet Explorer security settings by running the Fix - it suggested in the article.

  If nothing works, then try to uninstall Internet Explorer and try to install it once more. Here is an article that will give you steps how to uninstall Internet Explorer 8:

  Hi Tansy,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

  Method 1
  Step 1: I suggest to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

  Note: Follow step 3 of section of boot KB929135 to reset the computer in normal mode.

  Method 2
  I suggest you run virus scan online by using the Microsoft safety scanner.

• Pop ups coming from Firefox - how can I stop this

  I have pop up blocker active. Have disabled my account exceptions. I get pop ups of Firefox - Firefox emblem is in the upper left corner - can't seem to make this stop. I ran the current version of protection from malware and viruses and everything is clear. These pop ups started about 1 week ago and are very irritating. Why Firefox sends me irritating pop-up windows? How to make this stop? I have XP

  Is a ValueClick adserver and it is blocked by my file hosts and popups go in a tab, so I me page that essentially show nothing and a large warning message of "WOT: ' extension it's a junk site.

  Adblock Plus could do a better job of blocking, not on or just the anrdoezrs. NET, but blocking a file that could cause it. Adblock Plus in itself does nothing, it needs filters. You can find more info about Adblock Plus as a file hosts on the following link:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/Adblock-Plus/
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Adblock
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Blocking_bad_sites_and_annoyances#Adblock_Plus_extension

  Basically, install the extension "Adblock Plus" and the subscription to the subscription of "Easylist". I went QVC.com and blindly click on the links on the page and does not have all the pop up pages, so it works, or is not there, or they have no idea of which ads to send again.

• Since the installation of Google Chrome, whenever I start to upload photos into my computer, Adobe Photoshop opens upward.  How can I stop this from happening?

  Since the installation of Google Chrome, whenever I start to upload photos into my computer, Adobe Photoshop Elements opens upward.  How can I stop this from happening?  I tried to find a place to disable the plugin Adobe in Chrome, but can't locate.  Does anyone have a solution?

  Your answer showed no once again, but here are a few things to check:

  1. If you hold down the SHIFT key and then connect your camera that should stop the pse to open.

  Then go into workstation, do a right-click on the camera (by car), select Properties > AutoPlay and you should be able to change what is happening.

  

  2. glance in the organizer of items in photoshop under Edit > Preferences > camera and card reader and see if the start automatically is checked.

  (not all versions of the pse Organizer have that)

• Everything in the firefox browser flashes whenever I scroll, or if all goes on the webpage (videos flash for example, .gif). How can I stop this?

  Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.

  Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.

  Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.

  As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
