Has Sp Messed With My Java Scripts? Options

[paul13]

i cant go to facebook or access my email properly. has stuffplug messed with my java scripts?? and how can i fix the fact its restricted my internet, and yes ive playedwith my security settings.

[TheBlasphemer]

StuffPlug or it's installer do not mingle with your internet settings. I'm pretty sure that StuffPlug hasn't caused this

[paul13]

ok, then does anyone know how to get rid of this active X control shtuff off my computer so it works as it should be?? cuz ive tried everything

Have you tried Firefox?

If you're using IE 7, you can go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)
This will start internet explorer in basic mode. From there, you can go to Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage Add-ons. From here you can enable/disable any ActiveX controls you wish.

If you've messed with your security settings and it doesn't work anymore and you can't remember what you did, you can reset the settings to the defaults from the Advanced tab of Internet options

hey thanks i turned disabeld the add ons but it didnt make any difference, it just cleaned up the internet explorer top half, thank god cuz i made the mistake of getting yahoo messenger and it completly took over my explorer page. now thats uninstalled...

anyways,
-my hotmail is still getting redirected.
-i cant log on to facebook due to a java script problem thing.
-and i my frostwire and limewire will not connect!!!!!!
ive played with my internet settings for a total of 4 hours... literaly. ive downloaded stuffplug, limewire, oh and msn plus...which is when this all started (i just uninstalled it 2 seconds ago...didnt change a thing) im running windows vista
WHAT CAN I DO!?!?
im getting slightly frustrated.

i hope someone can help

I was actually serious about suggesting trying Firefox. If it doesn't work there it will further help us determine where the problem is.

i really like this firefox. what can i do with it??? what are some cool things firefox allows me to do, cuz its obviously not the same as regular.
im for ever trying to get keen with my laptop. its brand new so i can do alot real fast.
haha right on Aardvark thanks man

[paul13]

Try borwing through the various things here

My personal favourites are the extensions: "adblock" (bloack ads ), "New tab homepage" (puts your homepage on a new tab when you open it, as newer versions of FF don't do this) and "Undo closed tab button" (useful when you accidentally close the wrong tab)

I also use the Noia 2 extreme theme which looks so nice! Alot of the search engines are also really usefuland save time, so just have a look about!

[Aardvark]

No problem What can it do? It can protect you in ways IE could never DREAM of, it also loads a lot faster too, or at least, faster than IE7 haha. It can load WEB PAGES , skins, blah blah yeah it's all there on Kangie's link. If you're not using the Firefox 3 Beta I recommend Session Fix, it's the BEST.

EDIT: And if that isn't enough, the Firefox logo is just 10x cooler than an E with circles around it.

The only downside is, lack of Active X controls (in regard to functionality, not the security risk they hold) - however unless update.microsoft.com is your home page that's not really much to worry about.

I would install it as long as i knew what was being transmitted.

This would improve Plus, but i dont know how much use my one would be, i dont use many of the features

Maybie the installer should have a thing like FireFox has when trying to install an extension off the web, the button enables itself after 5 seconds giving the user reading time for what they are about to install.
