Duplicate IE sites loading

15 years ago

Every time I attempt to load Windows Internet Explorer it does it in duplicate. Thus it takes twice as long to accomplish everything. It is also confusing to know exactly where I am as I use the site.

try right clicking on the IE icon on your desktop and select open rather than double clicking to see if that makes a difference.

You might go into Control panel/Mouse and check the setting to see if anything has changed. Even consider visiting the mouse maker's site for the latest drivers.

What mouse do you have?

Yahoo Web site will no longer load

We dilly dallied and I didn't get to hook it up. But my friend did say that she got some kind of e-mail about problems with Yahoo and Verizon as an ISP. She said she didn't pay much attention to it and deleted it because they don't have Yahoo e-mail. But they have Verizon and that is also my wireless ISP at home. Hmmm. I don't know if I will be able to test it out soon. I'm in the middle of moving and haven't been able to get to a place with another connection. I know I should have done it last night but the timing was very short. Seems to be better today. It loads, albeit slowly and slower than other sites. Just very weird because I am online a lot searching for various things and loading all kinds of Web sites and don't have a problem other than Yahoo. But so far it's OK because no one wanted the quilting fabrics I posted on Freecycle anyway, at least so far!

IE8 Slow Loading

Ya that'd be easy enough but I'm tired of messing with it. Still, the IE8 works beautifully with the firewalls ZA and OA disabled. There must be some interaction there planned or otherwise. I installed the SlimJIm Browser or whatever it is which looks like its just an IE8 clone sort of. Easier to configure. Tho it's fast it is 1-2 seconds slower than FF7, Iron and google on my comp.

things like that can often be from malware on the pc, have you run scans with good antimalware programs like superantispyware and malwarebytes?

How to duplicate this look?

Ah--I so appreciate your taking the time to draw that out for me. I don't know how to make pictures like that and then import them. And yes, I *thought* so, but the picture looked to me that the angle was the other way, making an angle *greater than 90* up from the tread, not the other way around. I had even kept thinking 'wouldn't you want it the other way, so you have more space for your foot rather than less?" and now you make that clear. The pic still looks tilted the other way to me (which way does it look to you?), but let's assume that it's going the way you indicate, because your way makes more sense. I'd love to hear back from Salisbury with more details. The thing I'd think about doing a miter as you draw is that you'd have vulnerable edges right at a very visible place; if either of the edges ever gets bumped or dented, it would really show, wouldn't it? Not to mention you'd need to make those matching miters *masterful* (say that 5 times fast : )) for them not to call attention to themselves in a bad way. I think I'll take the gap underneath instead : )

If you are initiating IE from the Desktop you have to click twice on the icon.

If you are initiating IE from the Taskbar you only have to click on the icon once. If you click on it twice you will get two IEs.

Do I actually have two copies of IE on my computer? How could I check that? I looked at "add and remove programs" and it told me it would cause problems with several other things such as "Service Pack#....etc". There are 2 IE icons on my taskbara also.

icons on task bar or desktop are just shortcuts you can have multiple ones and not make a difference if you only want one just delete one of them it will only delete the shortcut not the actual program.

did you try opening it as I suggested? that would let us know if it is a click issue in opening the program double vs single etc.

I do this all the time, double click on the icon multiple times to open 2,3 or 4 IE. It's still only one program.

The purpose of opening multiple pages of IE using the icon? If you need a new tab, window, or session the offering is on the File drop down menu.

I don't understand your reply, DA. I don't want two copies on my screen. (As you can tell, I am not a computer-literate person). If I click only once on the icon, I still get two home pages. Everything is double.

Could you open the Task manager after you click on the IE Icon.

Look in there and tell us how many listings you see for ieexplorer.

My question was to Hendricus.

Just a lttle thought here as I dont see it probable:

Open up IE as you normally would, and as I understand you will observe two IEs. On one window click on Help>About. What version does it report? Change to the other window and do the same task. What does it report?

if you do not try the things we ask of you and report back nothing can get resolved.

IF 2 open then as soon as you see the second version starting to open hit the red x and close it.
If you would try using the right click open suggestion I have asked multiple times and report back that might help. several of the helpers here have asked you to do things and you have not replied with an answer to any of the suggestions yet, it becomes a frustration, we want to help so please help us help you, if you do not understand something just ask us how to do it.
