computer update your browser and see if that fixes it.

 

[computer]

(BTW, IE 5.5 & 6 has LESS features than IE 5.01. I hated both 5.5 and 6 and went back to 5.01).

So, that's not an option.

Then forget about pricewatch

 

[computer]

Hee heee!! *LOL*

I CAN get to other pricewatch pages!! Just can't see the home page. In my history folder I was able to find the sub URL's for p'watch and I got the URL for the searchbar and have to use it! That works fine, as does all other URL's for the framed pages. (They were in the history folder too).

I have those URL's bookmarked, so at least I've got that working for me. Heck, I need to reformat anyway......

 

[Format C:]

Interesting. I don't ever use NS but I have it on my computer. Version 4.51. Just out of curiousity I fired it up and went to pricewatch and this is all I get...

Perhaps its not a problem on your end after all.

 

[computer]

Hey thanks!! Yep, that is EXACTLY what I get w/4.79. This is strange. What version of IE are you running?

 

[n0cmonkey]

It does not work in ie 5.something for Mac OS X, but it works fine in Mozilla 9.9 on Mac OS X. It doesnt work with OmniWeb for Mac OS X either. Its probably a lazy coder problem.

 

[Format C:]

Umm, this is whats listed under help/about.

Version: 5.00.2614.3500
Update versions: ;q240308;

If you can decipher that.

 

[computer]

Format C:, are you able to see the homepage in IE? That's IE 5.01 you're running. Although it looks like you're missing some of the updates. I'd go to the windows update site and get SP2 and the critical updates for IE 5.
Thanks.

 

[WarmAndSCSI]

fscked up browsers... interesting....

 

[killface]

Heh. It's not working for me either man. I'm using IE 6.0. Guess I'll have to read through this thread to figure out what's going on.

This is what I get:

The problem must be with their webpage redirector. They use a simple script to detect the web browser than redirect the traffic to the appropriate webpage host. Either the redirection is not occuring or the server that is the destination for NS 4.x and IE 6.x is not working. Simple as that.

 

[computer]

Guys, it's working ok for me now, give it a look. If this happens to anyone again, save these URL's and bookmark them.

For a belated answer to your question yes it works fine, and since it is I'm not so sure I want to do any updating. My handle is what it is due to the fact that almost every time I've updated ANY Microsoft software I've ended up doing just that. Now, a question for you. How do you decipher from all that gobbledygook that I am using version 5.01 of IE?

Version: 5.00.2614.3500
Update versions: ;q240308;

 

[computer]

*Laughs* I know what you mean. Right now at the update site, it lists for me an update for my Aopen AX37 Plus RAID controller, and VIA audio..........and I ain't touching it!!!! I found out the hard way on that M$ BS!!! I too had to reformat TWICE before due to the MS JERKS putting corrupted/false crap at the update site! Once was an update for the HPT366 controllers on an SY-6BA+IV mobo (gave yellow marks in the DM and NOTHING could get rid of them!....reformat) and the next was an update on an Allegro 4ch PCI sound card, same hideous results!! The card NEVER worked after that! So, I recommend that NO ONE EVER install ANY updates from the *driver updates* area @ the windows update site! They SUCK like a vacuum!

Now the critical updates, security updates, patches, etc., you really SHOULD install. But be fore warned about the *Security updates* from *March 04, 2002* and *March 07, 2002*. On two PC's here, I installed those and now OE takes more than 30 sec. to open, plus when you click 'refresh' for new messages, that hangs for about 30 sec. as well. When I reformatted again on THIS PC I'm on now, I did NOT install those updates! OE on it is fine. Luckily, I don't happen to need those particular updates (because they are for a proxy server net connection if memory servers me correctly), but I do know that I didn't need them...they were not applicable for my PC's.

To answer your question....dunno. As you probably did, I got my IE version from 'help', 'about' in the IE toolbar. Those Q prefix #'s are patch versions. You should really at least install SP2 (I have *SP2* listed in that area for my 'about') it makes the browser much more secure. The only problem I saw with it is my reg hacks for that RIDICULOUS IE window size problem didn't work. I had to find a program called *autosizer* (free) to automatically maximize all IE windows. It works great.

If you want to find out exactly what those Q #'s represent, they are always listed in the MS database here for example. Paste it into the searchbar.

Thanks for the info, but, if I'm going to roll the dice it ain't gunna be on MS's table. ;-)

 

[computer]

If you have a hardware & software firewall running and an AV program, that will help. Sort of the *lesser of two evils*.......either risk corruption to your HD by MS, or risk malicious codes being run on or hackers into your PC. Flip a coin, take your pick (and you have). Or as you say, roll the dice! Well, I can't say I blame you. Especially what the MS jerks did to some of my PC's before. Along those lines, I found (as I mentioned above somewhere in the thread) that the IE 5.5 & 6 updates to IE5.01 actually had less features that IE 5.01, and they are functions that I NEEDED too. I was infuriated when I realized that and went back to IE 5.01 SP2. I'll just keep [gasp] updating it when security patches are released.

I was really pi**ed when I found out XP uses IE6. I wanted to try it out, but I'm not now. I wonder if one can remove IE6 from XP and use IE 5.01. ??

Did not work for me.

Well, it worked 18 years ago. It must just be you.

Looks like they went down for good about six months ago.
