Vista - Re: still problems with printing in ie7

12-08-2007

Crossposted to microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan newsgroup.

Did you install any of the Yahoo-branded crap? Did you install McAfee
Security Center?

If you make IE the default at Set Program Access and Defaults, does the
setting "stick" when you reboot?

No, I don't think I have installed any Yahoo anything, oh wait I do have a
Yahoo toolbar installed because of my email...No MacAfee, we have Norton. I
will have to check and see if it sticks when I reboot. I will post back in a
few after I check.

Uninstall Yahoo Companion (toolbar) and anything else named "Yahoo" via
Add/Remove Programs, then reboot & test. If still no joy:

1. After making certain you have a copy of your Product Key, uninstall all
Norton software via Add/Remove Programs.

2. Enable the Windows Firewall.

3. Run this removal tool:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039

4. Reboot, and *immediately* install the 30-day free trial version of NOD32*
or KAV7**

5. Manually update your new anti-virus application then run a full system
scan.

Do your problems persist now?

[Don't forget to subscribe to your new AV app or uninstall it then reinstall
the Norton application before the free-trial period expires! Should you
decide to reinstall the Norton application, I recommend not installing any
Norton Add-ons for a while.]

I uninstalled the yahoo toolbar and rebooted and it still wouldn't work. I am
very nervous about taking out norton and then having to reinstall it. I am a
very inexperienced computer user and I am afraid I will mess it up. Is there
anything else I could try? I'm about to give up and use Firefox instead. I
don't understand why this happened. Everything worked fine up until I removed
all the AOL stuff on the computer...

=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;

2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

=> Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

Other than above, I'm out of ideas. Maybe someone in the Vista
Print_Fax_Scan newsgroup will have some ideas for you, tif. From what I've
seen, no Norton application works well in Vista yet.

Thank you so much for your help PA Bear! I truly appreciate it! Last night my
brother in law was helping me and after several unsuccessful tries this is
what finally made it work: Tools-Internet Options-General-Accessibility- and
then we check marked the boxes that said--ignore font styles specified on
webpages, ignore font sizes specified on webpages. And voila, now it
works!!(well at least it worked last night, who knows about today!)

Oh, yeah, I have found that nothing works well with Vista, lol

YW & thanks for your feedback on this. That's an interesting workaround but
IMHO having those options unchecked was not the cause of the problem.

PA Bear n/a posts	Re: still problems with printing in ie7 Uninstall Yahoo Companion (toolbar) and anything else named "Yahoo" via Add/Remove Programs, then reboot & test. If still no joy: 1.

tif n/a posts	Re: still problems with printing in ie7 Thank you so much for your help PA Bear! I truly appreciate it! Last night my brother in law was helping me and after several unsuccessful tries this is what finally made it work: Tools-Internet Options-General-Accessibility- and then we check marked the boxes that said--ignore font styles specified on webpages, ignore font sizes specified on webpages. And voila, now it works!!(well at least it worked last night, who knows about today!) Oh, yeah, I have found that nothing works well with Vista, lol "PA Bear" wrote: Quote: > => Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start > IE7 in No Add-ons mode: > > 1.
