Strange problem with web browsers
« on: October 16, 2003, 06:28:53 AM »
I have a strange new feature with my web browser. Im using Opera and IE and they both refuse to show some images. Currently there should be a AH special event advertisement in the top of this page but instead there's a text "[AD-IMG]". Why is this, is there some kind of ad-blocker in my system, how do I disable it?

What's worse it filters out some pr0n too. :eek:

You have to go to browser properties/ security/advanced   and adjust the active X controls to "prompt "

have you added something new ? or updated something lately ?
 opera must have a settings /or advance settings/security type tab some were .... perhaps try right clicking on it and go to properties ....

Im not using opera .. so im not familier with it ..

Hmmm.. Just a guess.  I use Opera, IE, and Mozilla Firebird.

Opera has some image related problems and IE isn't always happy using Sun's JAVA.

For IE:  Go Tools, Internet Options, Advanced.  Scroll down until you see Sun JAVA version whatever and uncheck it.

For Opera:  Download the newest SUN JAVA version.  Be sure it doesn 't get re-checked in IE.

I just re-installed windows XP and the problem still persists. I don't currently have Opera or Sun's java installed.

Re-installed Windows XP.. :rofl

Correct way is to UNINSTALL and replace.
