Some website features might not work correctly if you're using the Beta version of Windows Internet Explorer 9 or old versions of add-ons. For example, links to videos and games might not work or a webpage might not open at all.

If a website isn't working correctly, try one or both of the following:

·         If you're using Internet Explorer 9 Beta, download the most recent version of the browser from theInternet Explorer 9 download page. For more information about the version of Internet Explorer that you're using, see Find out which version of Internet Explorer you're using.

·         Download the most recent versions of your installed add-ons. For example, if you're trying to watch a video or play an online game, you might need to update Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash, or Java.

To troubleshoot this issue and make sure you are using the most recent versions of your installed add-ons; see Troubleshoot problems playing online games using Internet Explorer

You can try using the ClearType Text Tuner in Windows 7 to fine tune clear type fonts. To start the ClearType Text Tuner click Start, type cttuner.exe and then click Cttuner.exe under programs. Follow the instructions to tune the text on your computer.

After installing Internet Explorer 9 on a Windows Vista computer, the Windows Mail attachment icon is no longer visible, or it may be grayed out in the preview pane. This is a known issue in Windows Mail, and can be resolved by installing the latest email program, Windows Live Mail.

You can download Windows Live Mail for free here. Windows Live Mail is allows you to see multiple email accounts like Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo all in one place. You can also see your email, calendars, and contacts when you don’t have an Internet Connection.  

For more information about Windows Live Mail, and how to install it, see Looking for Windows Mail?

The reason for the secure content message in Internet Explorer 9 is to help protect you from security threats. The warning is letting you know that you are on an HTTPS page that is attempting to load HTTP content.  

HTTP is the basis for communication on the Internet.   Some websites contain unsecure (HTTP) and secure (HTTPS) content, the S in HTTPS stands for secure.  Secure websites may still contain elements (often images) that use HTTP. To learn more about the risks of allowing mixed content see the following Internet Explorer blog post:

Internet Explorer 9 Security Part 4: Protecting Consumers from Malicious Mixed Content

IMPORTANT: Internet Explorer 9 blocks unsecure content to keep your information safe by default and is set to Prompt. Microsoft recommends that you do not attempt to change this setting. Modify this setting at your own risk.

1. Start Internet Explorer

2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options

3. Click the Security tab, and then click Custom level

4. In the Settings  box, scroll down to the Miscellaneous section, and under Display mixed contentchoose from the following options:

                       Disable, will not display non secure items

                       Enable, will always display non secure items without asking

                       Prompt, will prompt you when a webpage is using unsecure content

Note: Internet Explorer 9 blocks unsecure content to keep your information safe and is set to Prompt by default. When this setting is set to Enable, Internet Explorer does not prompt you with the “Only secure content is displayed” message even if the webpage is using unsecure HTTP elements.

In IE9, the favorite’s toolbar is off by default. To enable the toolbar right click the favorites icon (the star icon in the top-right corner of your Internet Explorer window), and then click Favorites bar. To bring up the menu bar, press the Alt button.

To learn more about the other new features in IE 9, please see:

Hey NZ21,

Currently there isn’t a way to move the Favorites button to the left side of the screen.

WHY DOESNT IE9 WORK ON XP ?

Sorry, It won't happen. Do you have a few million to finance the R&D?

It is not XP per se... but the next generation of CPU's and internet connections that are needed (hardware and driver improvements) that the next generation of IE can take advantage of.

I have seen some pretty good deals on Win7 bundles with new PC's/laptops... It may be time to upgrade your machine to the next generation. XP is nealy 10 years old.

Regards.

I FOUND THE ANSWER, TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, CONTENT, AUTO COMPLETE, SETTINGS, UNCHECK FORMS.   JUST DID IT AND IT HAS WORKED EVERYTIME SINCE I CHANGED IT.

Hello everyone,

Let’s take a look at what could be causing Internet Explorer to be giving you these messages. First step will be to reset Internet Explorer, you can do this by:

·         Close any Internet Explorer windows

·         Click Start

·         Click Control Panel

·         Open Internet Options (you may have to switch from category view to icons to find this)

·         Click the Advanced tab

·         Click Reset…

·         Click Reset

·         Click Close

·         Click OK

·         Open Internet Explorer

If you are still having problems, then next thing to look at would be another program causing a conflict with Internet Explorer. You can test this by doing a clean boot: (if you have Windows Explorer crashes, test these with a  clean boot as well)

·         Click Start

·         Type msconfig into the search field (if using Windows XP you will need to click Run… then type in msconfig)

·         Press Enter on your keyboard

·         Click Continue on the User Account Control (If prompted)

·         Click Selective startup

·         Uncheck Load startup items

·         Click the Services tab

·         Check the Hide all Microsoft services box

·         Click Disable all

·         Click OK

·         Click Restart Now

Once your computer has finished restarting, test to see if you still get the same error in Internet Explorer. If not then you just have to identify which service/startup item was causing the problem.

·         Click Start

·         Type msconfig into the search field (if using Windows XP you will need to click Run… then type in msconfig)

·         Press Enter on your keyboard

·         Click Continue on the User Account Control (If prompted)

·         Click the Services tab

·         Check the Hide all Microsoft services box

·         Check (Enable) the top half of the service boxes

·         Click OK

·         Click Restart Now

Once your computer has restarted, again test to see if the problem is still gone. If so, then the services you enabled are good to stay. Repeat the enabling process for half of the remaining disabled services and continue this process until the problem returns or all services are enabled. If the problem returns then you will need to test the last batch of services you enabled one by one to find which was causing the problem to occur.

If you enable all services and the problem still hasn’t returned:

·         Click Start

·         Type msconfig into the search field (if using Windows XP you will need to click Run… then type in msconfig)

·         Press Enter on your keyboard

·         Click Continue on the User Account Control (If prompted)

·         Click the Startup tab

·         Check (Enable) the top half of the service boxes

·         Click OK

·         Click Restart Now

Follow the same process as before, with testing after each restart. If the problem hasn’t returned, go back and enable half of the remaining list of startup items and continue the process until the problem has returned. Then you will need to test the last batch of startup items you enabled one by one to find which causes the problem to occur.

Once you have identified which service/startup item causes the problem in Internet Explorer you will need to either disable/uninstall/update the program to avoid further problems.

Hope that helps, look forward to hearing back from you.

YUP!!!! It's the Windows Search Index, that's the culprit:

Here's THE solution gentle folks:

Go to Control Panel -> Control Panel Home (NOT the Classic View) -> System and Maintenance -> Indexing Options

As you can see Internet Explorer History is automatically indexed and can NOT be removed from Windows Search Indexing (i.e. storing ALL entries).

But, we can flush out the entries by clicking on Advanced and then Rebuild.

Once you click on Rebuild and re-open IE8, ALL the previous pesky History entries in the address bar are GONER forever!!

Send your donations for wasted time, yours and mine :)

There are many reasons that Internet Explorer could be encountering this issue. Some examples are connectivity to your ISP, a firewall blocking your connection, or your networking device not functioning properly. Here are some things that you can try:

Method 1: Run the Network Diagnostics tool in Internet Explorer

1.      Start Internet Explorer, and then try to access the Web page that is displaying the error message.

2.      On the page that displays an Internet Explorer error message, click the Diagnose Connection Problems link. The Network Diagnostics tool will run. When the tool has finished running, it will report one of the following results:

1.  
   • It was unable to find a problem.
   • It has detected a problem. Additionally, the tool will provide guidance about the next steps to take to troubleshoot the problem.

3.      Click IP Address, and note the IP Address. You may need it for future troubleshooting.

4.      Follow the steps in the Network Diagnostics tool to fix any connection problems.

5.      Start Internet Explorer.

If you receive the same error message, go to the next method.

Method 2: Reset the modem or the router

1.      Disconnect the cable that connects the computer to the modem.

2.      Turn off the modem and the router.

Note: If the modem or the router does not have a power switch, disconnect the power to the modem or to the router.

3.      Restart the computer.

4.      After your computer has restarted, turn on the modem or the router, connect the cable from the computer to the modem or the router, and restart the computer.

5.      Make sure that all network cables are securely connected.

6.      Start Internet Explorer.

If you receive the same error message, go to the next method.

Method 3: Use the Delete Browsing History feature

If resetting the modem or the router did not resolve the problem, deleting your browsing history might help. Follow these steps to remove your temporary Internet files, history, and form data:

1.      Start Internet Explorer.

2.      Click the Safety button, and then click Delete Browsing History.

3.      Select the check box next to each category of information you want to delete.

4.      Select the Preserve Favorites website data check box if you do not want to delete the cookies and files associated with websites in your Favorites list.

5.      Click Delete. (This could take awhile if you have a lot of files and history.)

6.      Close Internet Explorer, start Internet Explorer again, and then try to access the Web page.

If you receive the same error message, go to the next method.

Method 4: Use the Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) mode

1.      To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

If this resolves the issue, follow these steps to isolate the browser add-on that is causing the issue:

1. Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
2. Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage add-ons.
3. Click an add-on in the Name list, and then click Disable.
4. Repeat step 3 until you identify the add-on that is causing the issue.

If the methods above did not resolve your issue, you can try advanced troubleshooting methods. For advanced troubleshooting, see You receive an error message in Internet Explorer: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956196)
