I finally installed an alternative browser - Opera. And WOW how fast the pages loads! I don't know if Opera is fast or IE6 is slow but the difference is huge. To do anything with IE takes 3 times longer time. Could it perhaps be the 3'd party security software? There are thousands of thousands of entries in IE restricted govern. Is this slowing down IE? Perhaps. And the Norton anti-phising is perhaps slowing down IE. But Opera got it's own anti-phising feature and it doesn't make Opera decrease. IE is a vulnerable browser but with all the tweaking and 3'd party security software (Spybot etc) I wonder if it perhaps is more secure than Opera. Because few 3'd party security programs work with Opera. Thoughts? I finally installed an alternative browser - Opera. And WOW how fast the pages loads!

IE-SPYAD - Puts an enormous number of webistes in the restricted govern.2. No Flash - It can disable flash and a large number of ActiveX3. Spybot S&D - Imunization + a lot more to the restricted zone4. SpywareBlaster - More immunization and entries to the restricted zone5. CookieWall - Against (tracking) cookies6. Symantec anti phising for IE (feature in NIS)7. Symantec ad block (feature in NIS)8. And I have manually tweaked both XP and IE made it much more obtain than standard settings.

Or maybe it doesn't need to furnish dangerous websites restrictions. More thoughts? I numbered your list to make it easier to pick apart.1. Opera isn't vulnerable to pretty much anything IE is vulnerable to.2. Quick preferences. F12.3. Not needed.4. Not needed.5. Tools > remove Private Data6. Anti-phishing tool built-in. Firefox also has it built-in.7. Right click > Block content8. No security tweaks are needed for Opera. XP on the other hand many are needed. If you add the MVP Hosts file to your system the ads are 99% blocked as well as known 'bad' sites: This takes care of "Restricted Zones." That's just another way of making a 'Hosts' file if you use the built-in 'phishing' filter you ordain get a warning about masquerading sites. For cookies. I set my preference(Tools>Preferences>Advanced) to "accept all cookies," and "Delete all cookies on exit." Then for cookies I want to keep (like here) I change state Tools>Quick Preferences>Edit site preferences>cookies and take the check mark out of the box "Delete new cookies on exit." That way I keep only those cookies I have decided in advance to keep. Check under "content" on the 'Advanced' tab for control of java and animation. Per site control from "Block content" in the context menu."Edit site preferences" is a context menu choice as well. Thanks both. I had not discovered that "place preferences". But there's nothing about ActiveX? What is Opera doing with ActiveX?Two other things small issues with the bookmarks.1. I imported all the Favorites from IE. Many of the subfolders in the favorites had names that began with a number. ("1. Domestic news")When imported to Opera that folder is named just "1" not "1. Domestic news". I can manually edit the names but I have so many.. a few hundred actually.2. And the bookmarks are in alphabetic order. I can't drag and drop them in my own order. Opera does not use Active X. Right under "Bookmarks" is "Manage Bookmarks" that will give you drag and drop copy and paste make new folders etc. Can't really help with the default names that IE gave the bookmark folders. I made Opera standard browser. Still shortcuts to web pages on my desktop launches IE. How can I make them launch Opera?When I use Opera and want to displace a shortcut to the desktop. I find no way to do it. Saving as a bookmark is easy but sometimes I want the shortcut on the desktop and not in the bookmarks.(I have looked in the Opera help divide but open nothing about this.) I do not use URL shortcuts from my desktop at all so I had to do a little investigating. You can actually drag the URL from the address bar and drop it onto the desktop to alter a shortcut. If Opera is set as the default browser the shortcut will open Opera. Shortcuts made from IE will open IE. I know I read a fix for this but when I do that the shortcut still has the IE logo. It would not be hard to manually change it to the big red 'O' but I ordain keep looking for a 'default' universal change.

Our volunteers do their beat to answer questions but ultimately you are responsible for deciding whether to alter changes to your system. Also do not give anyone your passwords or personal be information. convey you for that. I appreciate any back up I can get. I am coming to the same conclusion that I do not be a Driver but I will be contacting the Seagate Technical converse. It looks as if the problem lies with Active-X and or Macafee Firewal. The Firewall instructsions from Microsoft say "Allow full access for the following: 1) WCESMgr 2) wcesmcomm 3) rapimgr 4) CEAPPMGR....... but my computer does not seem to have the third item "rapimgr" and I winder if that is my problem? Geoff I am ot sure where this reply ordain be posted to Brandon or Terry1966 - haven't fully understood the system as yet. I have had a tech chat with seagate and it is NOT a driver problem - it seems to be a "plough Fomrmat" problem. The suggestion is that I reformat the External drive ( I was provided with a cerebrate to enable this) because I was told windows Me [control comes shipped NTFS. Windows ME can not read teh NTFS file systemote]. Before I go to reformat the External plough Drive I need to experience:a) Will this be possible change surface though in the Window for "My Computer" there is no drive mentioned - it just identifies "Mobile Device" IfI can reformat it then - in the event that I comfort cannot use the device - I may not be able to return the device to the supplier (Unless of cover they are armed with computers that could then reformat approve to "NTFS" Does anyone undergo any other info? 1 YES you will comfort be able to return the device.2 yes you will need to format to fat32 for windows me whether you can do this with windows or the disc that (i think comes with the drive) I have no idea sry but i hope this helps even just a bit. good luck.. 1 YES you ordain still be able to return the device.2 yes you will be to format to fat32 for windows me whether you can do this with windows or the disc that (i evaluate comes with the drive) I undergo no idea sry but i hope this helps even just a bit. good luck.. Thank you terry. I will certainly try and will let you know how I get on. I am still slowly learning exactly how to use the say system and used the email say notification - excellent. Soon perhaps I will hit the books to use emoticons Brandon. I just tried to post a new but related topic. I contacted seage and it seems I do not be a driver and that the solution is to reformat the storage device. When I try this I am thrown back into active sync and I am back to form 1 No Connection detectedWhat on hide can I do now? Any ideas would be appreciatedGeoff You can use partitioning software to format the drive. Here's what I use if I need to divide a control and Windows won't do the job: Download the ISO destroy it as an image register using whatever burning software you have (assuming you have a burner) and kick from it. You'll be able to change the drive from there. Or if you have a friend that uses Windows 2000. XP or above you can undergo them change it as FAT32 on their computer. Interesting concept really.

Terry1966compose Seagate Mass Storage device with Windows MeI thank you all for your assistance – I promised to let you know the final outcome. In the end the problem was solved by returning the Seagate Driver which never claimed to support Windows Me to the retailer. I then open a retailer selling storage devices compatible with Windows Me. 3 months ago when I was looking for just such a device there were none in have and the assistants forgot to mention that such devices were available. Apparently they were “Out of have” at that time – you know the saying “Out of sight out of mind”. I installed the new device “Packard attach –Store & Save 2500” and it works fine on my laptop and another PC. Surprisingly it does not bring home the bacon on the very PC that it was intended for! I have however using my LAN managed to deliver all the information I wished to. It makes me think my PC is in someway corrupted but now at least I can attempt things without the worry that I might lose valuable data. Once again many thanks to everyone at PITSTOP

But the shortcut is an IE shortcut! Opera creates an IE shortcut!? Try this: Tools > Preferences > Advanced Tab > Check if Opera is default browser on StartupTick that close down Opera open it and it should show you with a dialog asking if you want Opera to be the default browser. analyse "Do not ask this again" and click yes.
