IE6, I can see my favorites but when I click on organize
favorites I get a blank screen and clicking add to
favorites doesn't do anything. I also cannot play .mpg
from the internet but I can from my computer. The mpgs
aren't getting saved like they used too.
 
Thanks Sandi, Read the articles and tried doing it.
ImportExport just flashes a box for a millisecond and
thats it. I can't exportimport. copied my favorites
folders to another directory. restarted safe mode with
command prompt as administrator. deleted favorites in
case the files were corrupt. deleted temporary internet
folders to clear the cache. restarted and nothing is
changed. I can't import export, add to or organize
favorites, nor can I play mpg videos, which are important
for my wife to see her dog videos now that the show
season is slowing down.
 
Hi Sandi,
I won't be able to do much with this problem until Sat.
Then I'll probably try the in place upgrade/reinstall of
XP which should put IE back. Then visit Microsoft for
updates. I'll save regedit, favorites, mail, and docs to
CD.
When I click on an mpg from the internet I can see the
http address for the file on the bottom of the explorer
screen and the green bars go across like it is
downloading and then nothing happens. When things were
working realplayer would open and the video would play.
MPGs used to be saved to MY Music folder but not now. The
file doesn't show up when I search for it or *.mpg.
I am using Norton Internet Security and HP agent.
Regards,
Russ
 
I can only look askance as NIS. It wouldn't be the first time that software
has caused weird problems.
