tekman Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Two major problems:1. Some websites are blank pages in IE6. The source for msfn.org/board comes as:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><HTML><HEAD><META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>No problem with Firefox. CSS-problem?2. HTTPS/SSL-sites wait forever after entering password. For example gmail and any other webmail I use (a little annoying:-). No problem with Firefox.I have tried: * Installing everything from Windows Update (I had a backlog of old updates).* Running fresh installs of AVG/AdAware/Spybot.* Deleting all cookies/files/history.* Resetting Security-setting for Internet-zone to Medium.* Internet Options/Content/Clear SSL-state.* Resetting Internet Options/Advance to defaults.* Cleaning up my Java JRE-installations (after a while I had three different).* Reading alot of webpages.What's my next move?New to posting on this forum and I need to start installing my "other" computer so I will probably check back in a couple of days.-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxthebomb Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I would download Microsoft Anti Spyware Tool and run update it and then run a full scan of my computer. I like it better than spybot and adaware as it tends to find more stuff than the other two. Maybe there is still some stuff in your computer messing up your IE. This tool also lets you reset your browser to its default settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekman Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Tried the MS-tool. Found nothing with a quick scan. Used the tool to reset IE-settings. No change. The tool hangs when I do a manual update.-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purewaveform Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 This may seem weird, but I get this every now and then, not sure if you have tried this, but if i get something that comes in blank, I usually have to add http://www.* to what every it was and it works. Also I get this from users at the office, when squid caches the wrong information. Are you using a proxy server, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purewaveform Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Sorry, for the second post, but for issue two, the slow browsing, there could be a couple of reasons. You could have a bad master key. (Very unlikely) but it probable some process that is montoring IE. Like Norton or something that is trying to scan every incomming packet. Norton doesnt integrate into firefox / opera etc so it just has to ignore that information, but the integration peice with IE allows it to "listen" to the encrypted packets as they get decoded. That way it can prevent malware etc. This slows the process down considerably. Do you have some kind of product like norton running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekman Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 I usually have to add http://www.* to what every it was and it works.I have not seen any problem with URLS. They all works the same. All paths to msfn.org/board give me a empty page. The properties of the page as seen in IE says that it's "Not Available" and displays no more info than the URL of the page.The msfn.org/board/lofiversion works.Also I get this from users at the office, when squid caches the wrong information. Are you using a proxy server, or something?No proxy installed, only XP Firewall enabled and disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check with Google later.Do you have some kind of product like norton running?Not from the beginning. Was a clean XP, just XP Firewall and no other security-programs. Now I have AVG and possibly MS AntiSpywareTool running (everything should be disabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purewaveform Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 by bad master key, i should have wrote bad root master key, that way you dont always have the messages, do you want to accept this key. try disabling the avg and anti spyware and see if there is a diffrence. Also open task manager, and go to a site that slows down on https, and see if the browers pegs the prcessor or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekman Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 by bad master key, i should have wrote bad root master key, that way you dont always have the messages, do you want to accept this key. Couldn't find any good references on internet for how to correct such a problem.try disabling the avg and anti spyware and see if there is a diffrence.No difference.Also open task manager, and go to a site that slows down on https, and see if the browers pegs the prcessor or something. It's not taking any extra CPU. For example if I make a logon with the wrong password it makes a quick burst of CPU-time and after three seconds shows the "bad password"-page. If I use the correct password it does the same burst but the logon page never changes, the windows flag is waiving and the status bar shows "Opening page https://webmail..." forever....It must be some problem with SSL but I don't know where. I just love MS Windows when a single component that failes makes me want to reinstall the complete OS.-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
