[Solved] Some Links Do Not Work

About half the time I am on the web and click on a link (most have java script in the address (or least somewhere in the title)
the message comes up "error on page" and does not load the new page. What is wrong.

 

ewingtexas: Do you have "MS Virtual Machine" loaded on your pc?

Please Advise!

 

I do not know. What program is that?

Welcome to TSG!
JH is correct in saying you need Java virtual machine loaded for any Java script run in Internet Explorer 4.x or better. Here is the download for vvirtual build 3802. If you have already downloaded it previous do it again because the 3802 build sometimes becomes corrupt and that will fix it.
Click Here for download

I down loaded the program.
It seems to improve some.
Received email from tech support guy and said to connect using a web address (just click here) but it did not work.

any other suggestions. Thanks

 

By the way davy
the link did not work on your reply about going to microsoft site

thanks

Curious........That is the download area you need to access in order to update. Which version of IE are you running?
Dave

 

microsoft internet explorer ver6.0

 

ewingtexas
IE6 should of came with 3802 build or better. Have you tried an IE6 repair.
Go to start\settings\control panel\add remove prgrams and scroll to IE6 and select, click remove and when the window pops up select repair. After repair retry and see if the virtual problem is fixed.

you aren't using a ad stopper for popups are you ?

Good thought........That could also interfer with the java script.
Dave

 

I had it once & it caused me not to be able to open a second window...which is how I had it setup... so therefore no links worked.

 

yes i am using an add stoper
should i remove it
Thanks

 

is it on your taskbar near the clock... if so disable it then try a link.


you really should go to run type in msinfo32& then click the plus at software envirement & go down to startup & click it... after it loads on the roight go to Edit... select all.... back to edit & copy... come back here & paste it in here

Lets eliminate it as the cause. Find a page that is giving you problems disable the add stopper and retry the page.
