Win2k registry help

[Guru]

Greebe I did not intend to start an argument here! Howewer if I think I have the right to recomend IE 5.5 if I want to since I never had a single problem with it(been using it since the beta version came out)! Do a search for IE 5.0 and you'll find just as many topics with peaople who has had problems with it! Plus that the way that he describeshis problem:

Ended up deleting all registry entries and reinstalling SP1. That fixed it but one registry entry wasn't rewritten. So now when I click an email link a whole bunch of blank IE windows appear. Could someone post the the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mail entry particularly the OE one.

it sounds as he already has IE 5.5 istalled otherwise the problem should already be fixed! And I agree that you should not tolerate BS in here however in this case the only one that has posted BS is dZeus not me! Now go back to my first reply and read it again!

D/load IE 5.5 sp1! That should fix it! And if you already had it nstalled before this hapend click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Double click Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP1 and Tools (Select your version number/name as appropriate). Select Repair Internet Explorer & hit Ok. This will fix any detected errors as appropriate. Reboot for the changes to take effect.

I would not call that BS I would call it an very easy way to fix the problem! Now if Rags do not agree with me fine! Thats his opinion but calling me an "twit" etc. that's what I call BS!!!!

Guru... You're free to give your opinion, but not free to call other's opinions as not good, because yours differs, and not even giving a reason not to value the other's opinion... here's your post:

Don't listen to Rags! Nutscape has more bugs then IE! Besides I newer had a single problem with it!

btw, you started this with that post, not with Rags calling you a twit as a reaction to that particular post I quoted
HE never said to ignore you, he just gave his opinion, and the reason for his opinion. Now, you just tell to **** off not giving any reasons for it... I bet we can all apreciate that!.. cough

And thanks for telling me to FO.. when I wrote that post I seriously thought you were joking... seems like it is even worse

If you don't have IE 5.5 on your machine, DON'T put it on

Again I was refering to that part! And in my opinion IE 5.5 is better than 5.0!

EDIT:If you thought I was joking I think you should follow Rags addvise

You are confusing the issue, because you cannot understand what people post. You have a bad habit of not reading posts and understanding them. I know your native language is not english, but maybe you should take that into account before shooting your mouth off.

So? Still not a reason to tell to ignore Rags... he just gave HIS opinion... now that's your point?

Guru,

RAGS SAID:
If you don't have IE 5.5 on your machine, DON'T put it on. There are quite a few problems with it, do a look around the BBS's to see what I mean. Wait until they get a better version out.

I am very correct about this. I am not alone in sharing this opinion. I was warning him before following blindly.

GURU SAID:
Don't listen to Rags! Nutscape has more bugs then IE! Besides I newer had a single problem with it!

Well. Jeez. Don't listen to me. You didn't even bother to read what I wrote. That's why you are a twit. You have a bad habit of doing this. You don't read the post and try to understand what it's saying.

RAGS SAID:
Listen you little twit, I didn't tell him to use Netscape. Read my post again.

I stand by that post. I really think you are a twit. And you still don't understand why, do you?

Rags

[Guru]

I just meant it's not worth installing some other e-mail program when updating or using the repair option(still not sure it works in 5.0(1) could someone tell me if it does) in IE is much easyer!

Oh and Rags I know some people have had problems with IE 5.5! Still I never had one myself! And newer have I had a computer come back to our shop to be fixed couse of IE 5.5!

IE 5.5 with SP1 IS a NEW BROWSER! Ding! Dong!

There are many people who wish they had never installed it on their machines. I was just sharing what I thought would help. You obviously don't care.

Not only that, it's a larger download to boot. Much easier? Well that is very subjective. With IE, you are also messing with your OS's workings. If you download a third party proggy, then you won't mess with that, and uninstalling it won't cause huge issues. I always try to avoid risking vital system files when trying to fix a registry problem.

NO SHIT!

As was I and I do care! However I have never had a problem with it!

Not only that, it's a larger download to boot.

True!

Much easier? Well that is very subjective. With IE, you are also messing with your OS's workings. If you download a third party proggy, then you won't mess with that, and uninstalling it won't cause huge issues.

Neither will this thats why they have the repair uninstall option!

Rags

So do I but in this case (my opinion) my way of doing this is better! You do not have to agree with that just as I do not have to agree with your way of doing it in this case! Let's just leave it at that shall we...?

It's NOT better.

IE 5.5 does NOT uninstall properly. This is one known issue. IE 5.5 CAN cause a system to become unbootable when installed. IE 5.5 can cause many problems.


We have a guy who ALREADY has a browser. He is not asking what browser to upgrade to. He is asking how to fix his registry. I am very sure he already knows that he can install a new browser to fix his problems. But he didn't ask which browser he should be using.

Obviously evreything is working fine for him right now. He needs to know how to get the registry and folder files fixed to allow his browser to work with email links again. I showed him how.

You showed him how to upgrade to a new browser. Your way is NOT better, unless he wants a new browser. No where did he say he wanted a new browser.

Rags

[Rags]

Oh, and there isn't a repair installation option with IE5.01, as it's the default browser that gets installed with windows.

Rags

[Guru]

As I said thats your opinion! For all "we" know he could already be using IE5.5 SP1!
And as I already pointed out I DO NOT KNOW if the repair funktion is available in 5.0(1) witsh would have been the easyest option for him!

Oh OK!

[Rick]

Wow, one question and look what I started. Thanks for the various suggestions.

In Win2k OE cannot be updated on it's own. The update from 5 to 5.5 came out with Win2k SP1. So the IE 5.5 SP1 won't help in this case.

I tried the make default buttons, but once you exit the program and relaunch it, it seems to forget. What I really need the those registry entries from someone running OE and Win2000.

thanks

[Greebe]

That's enough of your leg humping doggy tricks Guru!

Rick, listen to Rags and I would suggest ignoring the PITA.

Rick lets start this over from scratch in a fresh thread, OK

Guru, Do Not post in that future thread! Got it?! This one is now locked.
