Internet Explorer 9 ????

15 years ago

I updated today to "9", thinking newer is better. Don't think I like it much at all. I miss my favorite sites in my tool bar and there is not way to pick a certain previous page, have to just keep hitting the "back" button until I get to the page I want. Anyone know there way around these problems?

Click on the star in the upper right corner near the X-out. It will present your Favorites and browser History.

No, that isn't what am talking about. I used to be able to click on a drop down tab next to the "back" button and you could pick which page I wanted to go back to. I used that a lot

It's possible you may have gotten a bad install, uninstall IE9. After you uninstall Internet Explorer 9, the previously installed version of Internet Explorer will be available on your PC. Then try reinstalling IE 9 or Download IE 10.

Yes, I do feel better about my computer security, but truthfully will feel a lot better when I get it all sorted out. Is it just me, or do you have to be a rocket scientist to understand SpywareBlaster? lol First of all, under Protection Status, Internet Explorer Protection, I ticked off both Active X Protection and Cookie Protection not being sure if I should do that. ie. Do I want to protect my PC from ALL Active X and ALL cookies? I just left the 'Block List' alone since SpywareBlaster has 355 items selected, and since I don't know what I want to block or not block. After doing this, Internet Explorer Protection is 'partially enabled'. I don't know if that's what I should have. I have protection enabled for Restricted Sites - that, I think I understand. Do I want to do a System Snapshot? And with the Secunia, when I downloaded it I set it to automatically update out-of-date programs. Should I have selected that option, or should I manually update out-of-date programs that it finds? To respond to your recommendations (and thank you for making them), near: 1. I do have Windows set to automatically update, so I'm good on that. I checked up update history, and the only updates it recommends at this time are 7 optional ones. I never done the optional updates. 2. I'm seeing more and more recommendations for the MSE. So it only updates and runs once a week and not daily. I guess this is sufficient? I'm not sure if I'm going to switch over my AVG for something else, but MSE is in the running. 3. Check, on the MalwareBytes. Do you usually run a full scan or a Quick Scan? I've been running the full scan mostly. 4.Check, on the SpywareBlaster (but I have the above questions on it). I still haven't downloaded the SuperAntispyware. 5. I downloaded the Secunia. 6. I haven't downloaded the WinPatrol yet. I have been wondering if AVG will have a problem with it, or vice versa. But we'll see.

Without stepping on anyone's toes, could I join the needing help with this issue? If this should be a separate thread, please tell me... Approx 2 months, same problem with IE9. I know there had been an update a few days before I noticed the problem but thought I'd used the browser for same tasks for a few days after that. For the last few (8 or more) weeks, I have to type my username into Ebay sign in when I didn't before, and I can't leave or view feedback there with IE9 any longer. Shop, buy, pay - all fine. My bank, all else has been OK except GW....I can't log into GW either and Tamara hasn't been able to assist. I'm having to change browsers and use Firefox for the forums, and to leave feedback on Ebay...just those two places. Workable but annoying. Windows 7. I didn't intentionally change any settings or do anything where I could have unintentionally changed them that I'm aware of, and I do use CCleaner regularly, no big cookie stashes. I've moved Ebay cookies and GW cookies to the delete side of the CCleaner options, moved them back to the 'saves'...no difference.

I think I know what she is referring to now. The arrowhead next to the front/back. You could click on it and a drop down would appear listing the last five or six sites a user visited.

Casi,

Right click the back button, or on the Menu Bar click View>Go To. I hope I got it right this time.

I used to be able to do what Casi is talking about when I was using IE6.
Now with IE8, no way and I hate that I can't do it now.

Hey! I just tried it in Fire Fox, and it WORKS!

Just Right click on the back arrow (upper left) and a drop down list comes to choose to go back to what you wish to.

Well BLESS your heart Bob,
I didn't even know about that. That must have been what DA was talking about which didn't sink in to me.
I was right clicking the back arrow all the time to get what that arrow does. YAHOO!
Sorry DA, sometimes my feeble mind isn't tuned in.

DA, Aren't you the one who used words I always had to look up?

My dictionary is worn out to where I have to pick up a new one first chance I get.

Happy to have given you a smile.

Urlee,

It's not that I am trying to be something more than I really am or trying to impress, it's just at work I hear, read, and publish so much that sometimes the vocabulary just blurts out without me thinking.

Try this one which came across my desk a while back: antediluvian. I might have used it here once in fun just to see if anyone was paying attention.

"LOL" DA, That word describes me!

Just be yourself. We learn from you no matter what words you use.

I was trying to find the post of me where I said I not only learn about computers on this forum, I also get educated in vocabulary in answer to either you or owbist?
I took a chance on it being you.
That was quite awhile ago so I imagine it slipped off the board but to whom it was, after his smile, his reply back was, "I made his day".
Chime in owbist if it was you?

Remove 9 it will roll back to 8..I tried 9 did not like it, will stay with 8 for now.. on all 4 of my PC's

OK, without going to the dictionary, I say antediluvian means "before the flood" and is used to describe something very old. In 9th grade (in the antediluvian era of 1958) I had a crush on the special reading teacher. He worked with students to build reading speed, vocabulary and comprehension. It wasn't a remedial course and I really enjoyed it--and the teacher. I remember this word and his literal definition was "before the flood."

Thanks for the 9 information. I want to try it and I also want to be able to return to 8, if I don't like the changes.

Nancy,

I for one will give you full class credit, and a bow of respect. The common definition reference is antiquated.

DA, I am just guessing. Does antiquated have anything to do with "Antique"?

Like I said, I am "antique". "lol"

I too commend Nancy on her intellectual memory.
