Hi Guys n Gals!

Ok I was messing with a few of the tabs in the tools menu of Internet Explorer, and i think i clicked the wrong thing - because now im getting a Red 'x' where videos should be & stuf..

I think its Active x or scripting...

Does anybody know how to fix this?

It was working 5mins ago lol

Thanks!

you might have blocked certain sites or something liek that, just go back into your settings and make sure things like 'show pictures' are ticked

Viper · 5th March 2008, 16:21

go to this site

www.getfirefox.com

I can't believe people still use explorer. Firefox is so much better, been using it for years.

Viper · 5th March 2008, 16:27

ayw, it is a different browser, but its better than IE

really is.

just do as you're told. lol

wanna try fix it 1st..

before it goes out the window lol

why do they make it SO fukin complicated?!?!

Viper · 5th March 2008, 16:33

why do you want to try and stay with the inferior browser?

djshongo · 5th March 2008, 16:38

ok, i'd follow Viper's second comment! but as it's not your PC then fair do's hard getting sum1 else to start using Firefox or similar out there...
or..
internet options...
A) Security Tab bets to reset to medium to high in the dropdown menu ... next tab..
B) Privacy Tab.. slide it to medium
C) Advanced tab..
this is the detaile done which might have been checked over by accidently go through it extensively i wont liste verythign as theres loads but il list some key things to check...
tick the java sun box, in multimedia section tick all of them bar 'show image download placeholders'
use ssl 3.0 and tsl 1.0 also check enable page transitions, page debugging http 1.0's etc too they are all to do with how you see/download and phish through content through the browser.
I'd reccomened the following too..
Update from flash www.adobe.com/go i think... find the latets flash update that now has HD installed with the update

update your Java. and also macromedia shockwave... possibly!

Doing that.. restart/ restart IE

if that fails then something is up maybe dodgy version installed so just re install IE. or last but not least system restore!

p.s soz for spelling cba to go back through it re-correct it cos i type too fast! soz!
