Installed IE8, but visited sites see my browser like IE6 or below
Is there some files IE more alumni that should be deleted so that the sites I visit will see that I'm running the current IE8? I just reinstalled IE8 and all the updates this morning.
What happened twice today on various sites; a private company, and; a government site.
Thanks in advance for your help :)
Hmmm... (he said, scratching his head...)
Here's another place where to look:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Note that this is the * by user * version of one of the last entries I suggested (instead ofHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ). If you see anything targeting MSIE 6.0 here, kill him.
In addition, I think that the next thing is to check if your UserAgent really is the likely cause of the problem (containing several strings version MSIE).
There are several sites on the ' net who will echo your UserAgent string to you to see what it sends. Visit one of these sites and post what your UserAgent sent here. Two of these sites is http://show-ip.net or http://www.useragentstring.com. Doesn't really matter. I'm going to think you have some of your duplicate UserAgent that could well be the result of a bug in the installer of IE8 * or * the unfortunate by-product of some tool antivirus / antimalware.
I would be interested by what sends your UserAgent.
You could also do a "hard reset" IE by taking a glance at the article here

Windows Vista version 6.0.6002
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18828
Windows Vista is 32 bit Home PremiumRun Windows Update to get the latest update from Microsoft. Windows Update indicates that I need to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista.
Try to install it and it reports that "Setup cannot continue because a newer version of Internet Explorer has been detected on this computer." Result in the Code E windows Update encountered an unknown error.
Check under the "uninstall an update" to try to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer 8, however there is no "Windows Internet Explorer 8" in the list as a normal OS Vista would have.
So if Internet Explorer 8 is installed, so why Windows Update still trying to install it? And why is there no "Windows Internet Explorer 8" in "Uninstall update"?
I just use the standard uninstall to remove Norton. Before installing McAfee.
1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart & test.
Norton applications are notorious for not to uninstall "cleanly". If the "remains" of Norton are at the origin of the behavior, run the removal tool should solve the problem. Ideally, you should run this utility before installing the McAfee application so YMMV.

Everything on the site is in English. However, along the top, slightly above the tabs is a stream of Japanese symbols. These are somewhat intermittent and go away for a while after I rebooted. They come back.

HELP, trying to install Illustrator but get this message that I need to download "Adobe Support Advisor" when I go on the site, I see that it has been abandoned, what should I do now? got trapped in the labyrinth HELP HELP!
Hi Joseeyk67276640,
'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server. From the following link, please download the version of Illustrator, you need: other downloads
Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.
Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:
Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.
You can use a utility to extract the 7z or gz to unzip.
Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)
Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.
Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors. Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html
Let us know if that helps.

new tab opens my home page, but I want to open the more visited sites
new tab opens my home page, but I want to open the most visited sites. Ad-aware messed up the settings.
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to your preferred the new tab page.
- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):
You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue. -
I want to see my most visited sites
Hello
All of a sudden when I open a new tab, the usual most visited sites aren't there. I thought I could just press the gear that is usually there, but it isn't. I really like being able to go to my more quickly of visited sites and would like to continue. Could you help her?
Thank you
Bodds
Hello
It seems that a parameter has been changed on your new tab page. These changes are usually caused by bars of third-party tools or modules. I understand that you would like to know how to reset it. No problem, please follow the steps below:
- In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
- Type browser.newtab.url in the search box to find it on the list.
- Double-click on browser.newtab.url and type on: newtab in the window that opens.
Restart Firefox and open a new tab to ensure that the change has been made. If there is no problem with the plugins please see also: troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems
Please post back with your results, we are happy to help you.

On OSX 10.11.2 I try to install CS5 but he repeated to me that the installation disc is damaged? You can see on my account that I have a serial number. CS5 can work on my new laptop?
Since it is a forum of number, not many people here can see that you have a serial number. Running older software on the latest machines is always questionable. There are many applications, I sitting on discs (some 3.5 or 5 inch disks) in a box that won't do anymore of that for the rest of their lives.
If the disk has a problem then you should try to download instead.

ORIGINAL TITLE: problem of update of Windows vista edition Home premium
I just bought a laptop Toshiba of ebay, in excellent condition, the operating system is windows vista Home premium and the system is X 86 based. I have no trouble getting security updates or anyothers with the exception of SP1. When I do a windows update installation, it is said it was installed successfully, but when you look at the list update installed, it doesn't stand and she also works not highlighted on the sys.info page. I have already run the windows update fix the tool several times, but it doesn't solve the problem. Also update keeps telling me to install the SP1 package. I think that the number on the pack is KB96330 (not sure but I'll check in a few minuets when I go home for lunch). What should I do to get SP1 + 2 installed?
.. .he had appeared as if it was handed to the way in which it left the factory.
Looks can be deceiving, especially for what it is bought on eBay.
[If you bought used shorts Jockey on eBay, would you wear them before you had washed in water hot & bleach?] I hope not! ]

I did a backup of the computer on my old HD 110 GB. Install a new 500 GB HD and restore complete pc but windows onliy see the 100 GB on the C drive and the 9.99 on the D drive that were on my old HD and do not see the additional 400 GB. How I can solve this problem.
Hi abgolf3,
The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted. Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage. Is all the space on the disk are responsible? If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

Since the upgrade to 2015 CC and change my site to a paid site, can my customers is more updated of the site through the browser update. When they try, parts and pieces of the site appear and they can see what it takes to update. It's about to make me lose my client. Help, please.
We have identified two questions:
(1) muse implements a markup bad comment, causing in the edition (IBE) browser to display the page properly. Only, this affects IBE and does not affect the published site. The combination of page that causes the bad markup is still TBD.
(2) IBE does not account for the bad markup that leads to incorrect DOM, leaving IBE unusable.
We have a fix for IBE (as BC) who is ready to be tested. We will update this thread when the fix is on.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
