Firewalls: IE, Firefox, Chrome exception
Help of na not restored
Malwarebyes ran: 9 infections found and cleared.
Still no go... no luck please help.
 
 

Thanks a lot guys... However, I got a cure for IT... It was a folder name: "wxdownload" I deleted and the browser worked to return... I think it's a rough software that has disabled the browser to launch.

  • Internet Explorer will not play sound with no explanation that I can find. Help

    I am running Windows 7 with I think it's Internet Explorer 8.

    I had my IE under Mixer volume muted during last week and discovered he won't play no sound now when I disabled the program. For all purposes, the volume mixer shows that it play a sound. All my other programs play sound, system sounds are correct, just like the games.

    After reviewing the responses to other messages here, that's what I tried without success.

    Volume mixer IE is not set to mute, nor is another program.

    Checked under the tools/advanced/multimedia, and ensured that the audio check box was selected: it is.

    I run cmd.exe under administrator rights and put in the sfc/scannow

    This can 100% complete and it 'not found any breach of integrity.

    I tried to run IE with no Add-ons - however, I could not find a program that would make it sound.

    My antivirus has completed a quick scan with no self-esteem.

    I'm still running my antivirus as a full sweep, however, I'm hesitant... to wait until it yeilds it is result.

    Help?

    Hello

    Method 1:

    Maybe you don't have the right plugins/addons installed to play sounds. Need of plugins for interactive media include generally:

    (a) Adobe Flash.

    b)      Java.

    To install these plugins, open Internet Explorer and visit the links above. Follow the instructions on the pages listed. After installing these plugins and restart Internet Explorer and check to see if you hear the sound?

    Method 2:

    I suggest you update the audio drivers on the manufacturer's Web site see the link below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/automatically-get-recommended-drivers-and-updates-for-your-hardware

    Method 3: Also suggest that you click on the link below to reset Internet Explorer settings and check if the problem still persists. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737

    Warning: resetting the Internet Explorer settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot be recovered.

  • Internet Explorer does not allow my program to run.

    I have the Foscam wireless camera setup to display on my computer.  I now watch on a Mac.  I just bought the HP Pavilion Entertainment PC.   When I try to run Internet Explorer will not allow him to start.  It has something to do with the certificates of the program. He was down to install activeX.  I click on install and the program still does not work.   What I would do.   I use dyndns.org as the host of the show.

    Thank you.

    PS: If I use Firefox I can view a camera at a time.  With IE, I should be able to view both.  I use IE at work, and it works.  Some thing on this PC it blocks and I can't understand it.

    Thanks again.

    I finally have success.   I searched online and found the following.   It is in fact of Foscam.   A simple click on the Advanced tab and it worked.    Thank you for leading me to search online for details of Foscam.  I hope that if someone is having the same problem that they check here.   Before I was just checking the custom section.  But it's the Advanced tab.

    You have been very helpful.  I appreciate your time spent on it.

    Thank you

    If your using Internet Explorer 8 or 9, follow these steps:

    1. open Internet Explorer 9-> click Tools-> Internet Options

    2. click on the Advanced tab-> find the Security section

There is therefore no uninstall program. I need to open my internet options in the control panel to start the process of fixing things. but it does not open. I can't download all the programs from my browser. In the lower right hand corner of my IE on the left 'internet' is a white box with a red X.

    UPDATE... I used my external CD/dvd drive and was able to copy the installation for firefox to a computer and put it on the shot, I have problems with. Hooray! success... Now, I have firefox and a navigation bar and was able to successfully download a program from the internet. Now, try to uninstall AVG...

    -IE

    -Windows media center

    3 optimized for SSD Windows (I installed on the SSD and HDD extra for Windows files):
    -moved my user on an internal HARD drive folders
    -off hibernazation
    -a rejected the files on the system drive for the content index
    -Move page file of SSD to HDD

    -people with disabilities Prefetch and Readyboot

    To solve the problem, I tried (I rebooted after each operation):

    -running sfc/scannow (says it fixed a few errors, but eventually I saw no changes)

    turn the component Windows Gadgets

    -in the course of running sidebar.exe administrator

    -installation of hotfix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979164) - said that it is not compatible with my setup.
