Help with HDF closing
Help-got the new laptop up n runnin I am on a wireless network and every time I open HDF, Explorer closes – this did not happen before with my other laptop – I must have something set wrong. I tested a few things and one interesting thing I have found is that I can open multiple Explorer windows – say check my email and then open a second to HDF – HDF closes. If I have HDF by itself, it closes, If I open HDF then a second site such as email – HDF closes
Why would HDF close? – what am I screwing up?
I think I am going to try a different wireless card - could be the signal strength but no other web site closes

RE: Help with HDF closing
Well I moved to where I had "excellent" signal strength - still HDF is closing without warning - not on the main puter - just on the laptop and no other sites are closing - got like 6 open right now. Even if just HDF is the only one open, it still closes without warning -
Being the pacient, calm individual I have always been, I can not afford to "Tee off" another laptop (Yea - golf clubs work well)

OK HC - now I have Firefox on the laptop and all seems well - must be an error in the install of explorer - all seems better -

Firefox still isnt fixing the problem, even though you can now get on. Something you can do is allow HDF in your allowed sites in Internet Options. This may fix the problem possibly.

RE: Help with HDF closing
what version of IE is it? my banking web sight has a warning against d/ling the latest version of IE (7.0 I believe) as it "may" cause problems with the security or something. .... better idea here is a cut and paste of warning from my banks web sight.:
Attention: Microsoft is currently offering Internet Explorer ver. 7.0 for download. New features within Internet Explorer ver. 7.0 may not be compatible with our Online Banking and ECORP service. Please wait to install Internet Explorer ver. 7.0 if possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sounds to me like something in Internet Explorer is FUBAR'd.... If you've done a reformat and reload, then the problem shouldnt be still happening. You may want to also check your security settings on something like your DSL software or even your firewall/spyware/antivirus. Some software will block certain files by default or specific threats.
Firefox still isnt fixing the problem, even though you can now get on. Something you can do is allow HDF in your allowed sites in Internet Options. This may fix the problem possibly.
