Strange software conflict..I think
Internt locking up
Monday, October 10, 2005 by tonystall | Discussion: Websites
Has anyone had a problem with web surfing after installing the object desktop programs? Internet Explorer still loads, but then I'm usually limited to one page before it locks up. For instance, my hotmail account will load and show my e-mails, but clicking on them does nothing. I can select all of them by placing a check in each box, but clicking "delete" or any other function has no effect. The same type thing happens on every site I've tried. Has anybody heard of this or can anyone tell me how to fix it? tonystall

I did notice starting today, if I use IE and try to open a link in a new window IE runs away and hides. Even 'file' - 'new window' makes it go byebye.

I've installed stardock central, objectdock plus, windowblinds 5, desktopX, theme manager, icon packager, cursor XP plus, object bar, drivescan, and IconX... I've never used drivescan or iconx, but have used all the others. I have ObjectDock, cursor XP, DesktopX, and about 12 widgets loading at start up, but have plenty of memory.

No problems here. Must be IE. Currently have seven tabs open in Opera. I'm running the new WB5 beta. Also using the Desktop Sidebar until Stardock gets a ObjectBar plugin for Outlook. The only OD software not up to date is Iconpackager. I'm still using 3.00b.093

Gary's usually right, and from your list the only items I'm missing are Drivescan and Theme Manager.

You might want to try that cache thing. There's a fella here has written a tutorial on the subject, but his name escapes me right now.

Bichur - if IE is just shutting down, then it's a script error...... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

I just ran that the other day to see if it would fix my defrag issue - right click on drive - tools - defrag not installed, but it's in my all programs and works. Any time I look at restore, i have no earlier date either so I ran the scripten.
