IE10 and UAG Extensions
by Guest MarcusB- 0 replies
- 61 views
Not sure where this goes, so I'll just post it in the General section. I can't get the UAG extensions to install in IE10. I've tried all sorts of security settings, but can't get the ActiveX installer to "pop-up". Is there a workaround? Thx in advance - Marcus. Continue reading...

To all that have helped before THANK YOU. Your love for the subject far outweighs your need for financial remuneration. Since you are the official Unofficial Microsoft help desk you answer inquires when you can with experienced knowledge and straight forward plans for us to follow. Usually this results in the requestor being disabused of their ignorance. Allowing them to wrangle the offending confuserator back in to line, once again subservient to the master’s wishes. Your only rewards for such selfless actions are, as far as I know, our veneration and the recognition, approval and commendation of your peers and Microsoft. With this in mind, I present again an unusual…

Emachines windows 7 wont boot
by Guest phoenixjr33- 0 replies

I have never had this problem before and usually i can fix any problem I have, however when i was in the middle of playing a game, the computer randomly and automatically shut down. If the fact that it shut down out of the blue without the command wasnt enough, the screen flashed the "Blue screen" for about 5 seconds before shutting down completely. I tried to reboot it but to no avail. The big "E" with the F2 setup prompt is all that appears before a blank black screen with a flashing cursor line at the top left corner... then it stays like that. I cant boot in safe mode or do a system restore. I have no clue what to do. can anyone be of assistance? Continue reading..…

Have 2 computers running Windows 7, both are connected via router to DSL. Printer is connected to computer 1 via USB. Can't get computers to see each other - can't send a print job from computer 2 to computer 1's printer. Both try to create a homegroup as if the other wasn't there.

As stated in the subject, I get an "Error Code 0x800700D - the data is invalid" when I try to activate Windows 7. I have read all of the previous Windows 7 Activation error threads, and don't find anything I haven't tried. I have returned to Microsoft and obtained a new key, and used it for the "Change Product Key," with the same result. I copy/pasted the key directly from the MS website, so I know there was no confusion or mistyping of similar characters/numbers. I can't recall 100%, but am pretty sure I entered the original key given to me by MS on the download page upon install. My clock is set correctly and reporting correctly: July 30, 2009 Windows is not shu…

IE9 user authentication settings - behavior
by Guest guyguyr- 0 replies
- 52 views
Hi, I tried to configure (for all zones) the security logon settings for user authentication (flag 1A00 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182569). I want that for any site/proxy that requires authentication (user/password) IE will prompt it ALWAYS. I have configured a manual proxy in the settings that uses authentication. However, no authentication is prompt, never. I have cleaned the history/cache etc.. One thing to notice (maybe related), my machine is on a specific domain (e.g. MyDomain) and the manual proxy is on the same domain. I suspect that the authentication to my machine (via RDP) was a sufficient for not prompting the authentication further.I however expe…
