Greetings,

I cannot join many sites. I type in my name & e-mail but when I click
"JOIN" a Security Alert pops up saying "your current security
settings do not allow you to send HTML forms". I add the site to my
Trusted Zone where everything is allowed but I still get the security
alert.

Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.

Click Privacy Tab then click on Sites Button and amke sure these sites not

Most Security Software have a list of websites assigned by default to be
restricted in their Hosts file so if you have such a security software check

Same error on XP clone which rules out short-term problems cause I
only run this ~2/yr.

Might this be a good time to try Opera/Firefox/??.
Any & all comments/suggestions are welcome. I'd like to have browser
with Flash plugin, plugin to play WMV files & where I get protection
similar to SpywareBlaster & IE-SPYAD (now ZonedOut).

Please reconfirm that you're running (1) WinXP SP2 and (2) IE6.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application *ever* been installed?

Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update?

How is the machine connecting to the internet? Is a router involved?

Whoa! All bets are off and I refuse any further participation in this
thread until both machines are fully patched (which does not necessarily
include installing WinXP SP3).

One reply will be sufficient. IE7's right-click options include Open in a
new tab (if tabbed browsing is enabled) and Open in a new window.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
(ignore any references to Vista)

And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Alternately, use this Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

Looked for news gp
'microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie7.browser' but there was non
in my groups list. Any idea what it is?

I'll evaluate IE7 & FF on my 2nd XP & see if it fixes original
problem.

Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry

One reply will be sufficient. IE7's right-click options include Open in a
new tab (if tabbed browsing is enabled) and Open in a new window.

installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.
Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

Installed Firefox on XP#2 & successfully submitted HTML form. Note
XP#1 & XP#2 run on same hardware but XP#2 has alot disabled in Device
Mgr & it has ALOT less software. Problem occurred on both until I
Installed Firefox
Installing Firefox made IE6 work? What version of FF did you install?

Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update?
XP #1 not for last 6 mos
XP #2 not since SP2
Whoa! All bets are off and I refuse any further participation in this
thread until both machines are fully patched (which does not necessarily
include installing WinXP SP3).

PS: Having IE7 installed and getting the machines fully patched would allow
FF v3.x to work much more securely, too.
