How to solved error of Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer

Problem: You’re unable to load certain pages in Internet Explorer.

Cause: One reason could be active content (ActiveX scripts and controls, as well as Java programs) in the Web pages you’re trying to view.

Comments: We’ll be talking about disabling active content, so some functionality in the Web sites that are causing the problem will be affected. Here are three steps you can take. After the first step, you should check and see if the Web page in question is loadable. If it’s not, continue to steps 2 and 3. These apply to IE versions 5.0, 5.01, 5.5 and 6.

Step 1: Configure Internet Explorer so that it does not run Active scripts automatically. Click Internet Options on the Tools menu in IE. Click the Security tab, click the Internet Web content zone, and then click Custom Level. In the Security Settings box, go the Scripting section, and click the Disable radio button next to both ‘Active scripting’ and ‘Scripting of Java applets’. Click OK twice to save and exit.

Step 2: Configure Internet Explorer so it does not automatically use items that show active content, such as vertical marquees or animations. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Security tab, click the Internet Web content zone, and then click Custom Level. In the Security Settings box, click Disable under all the following: ‘Download signed ActiveX controls’, ‘Download unsigned ActiveX controls’, ‘Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe’, ‘Run ActiveX controls and plugins’, and ‘Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting’. Click OK twice.

 Step 3: Disable Java. Under Internet Options, click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the Java icon where it says “Use JRE…” Uncheck the box.

Problem: When you’re browsing a Web site, all of a sudden, you receive an error message that looks something like this: “A run time error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Line number… Error: Permission Denied.”

Cause: This can occur when you upgrade to IE 5.5 (on Windows XP with SP1). The upgrade enables the script-debugging and scripterror-notification options.

Solution: Disable the script-debugging and script-error-notification options: go to Tools > Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab. Click to select the ‘Disable script debugging’ checkbox. Also clear the ‘Display a notification about every script error’ checkbox. Click Apply, and then OK.

Problem: A new Internet Explorer Window opens partially off the screen. When this occurs, only a small section of the new win dow may be visible on the screen. Cause: This can occur if certain registry values for IE are incorrect or damaged. Solution: Always use the Registry Editor with care, and do so at your own risk!

Use the Registry Editor to delete the following IE registry values, and then restart your computer.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\window_placement

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\oldWorkAreas\OldWorkAreaRects

Problem: You get invalid page faults in Internet Explorer.

Cause: There are several causes for this, and here, we mention several solutions.

 Solution #1: This could be the result of video resource limitations. Upgrade to the latest version of your video driver. To do so, look up the Web site of the manufacturer of your video adapter.

Solution #2: Disable the “Run=” and “Load=” lines in the Win.ini file: click Start > Run, type in “sysedit”, and click OK. On the Window menu, click ‘Win.ini’. Then on the Search menu, click Find, type “load=” in the Find box, and click Next. If there is text to the right of the equals sign (=), place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the “Load=” line.

Next, on the Search menu, click Find, type “run=” in the Find box, and click Next. If there is anything to the right of the equals sign (=), place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the “Run=” line. Save the file.

Solution #3: Reduce the hardware acceleration for your video adapter: right-click My Computer, click Properties, and then click the Performance tab. Click Graphics, and then move the Hardware Acceleration slider to ‘None’. Click OK, click Close, and click Yes to restart your computer.

Solution #4: Install the latest version of DirectX from www.microsoft.com/directx.

Solution #5: Check with the video adapter manufacturer for specific Internet Explorer issues. Some video adapter manufacturers have fixes for issues with their display adapters. For example, sever 05al ATi video adapters with the Rage chip set require a “DevBmp=1” entry in the [Display] section of the Windows\System.ini file.

Problem: Internet Explorer is very slow at loading pages.

Cause: This could be a spyware issue.

Solution: Scan your computer for spyware using both Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and Spybot Search&Destroy. If no spyware is detected, or if you detected spyware and still have the same problem, try doing a System Restore: go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > System restore, and choose a Restore Point for a date before the problem first cropped up.

Problem: Internet Explorer starts up with a weird, unknown page, displays a lot of pop-ups, and you see sites in your Favorites folder that you don’t recognise. Cause: This happens when your browser has been “hijacked” by spyware.

Solution: First off, clean your system of spyware by using both Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware and Spybot Search&Destroy. If no spyware is detected (which is unlikely), or if the problem persists, visit http://hijack-this.net/ and do a free scan of your computer.

After the spyware scans, check for the spyware itself, and delete them manually from your computer (including the folders). Note down the names of the folders you deleted. Open the Registry Editor. Find the keys with the names of these folders and then delete the keys. Remember to always take a backup of your Registry!
