Re: Fwd: Internet Explorer not working correctly after installing
Tomcat
So.... IE is working correctly, just pointing to an invalid page. Can't
you simply change the homepage? Also verify the icon you are using to
open IE isn't opening it with a specific location like
http://localhost:8080/fwlink/

Posted by David Smith <dn...@cornell.edu>.
I think I'm getting a picture now. Have you run IE since the "critical"
update to upgrade from IE 6 to IE 7? IE is trying to run an internal
pref page for you to choose your default search provider and it's
getting caught somehow. I seriously doubt this is a Tomcat/Eclipse
problem as much as it's a IE problem.

Re: Fwd: Internet Explorer not working correctly after installing
Tomcat
Posted by mc...@insight.rr.com.
Thanks, David. However, my IE home page was already set to my ISP's home
page. I checked the URL that the icon I use to open IE and it is exactly
the same as I use for Mozilla; only it works for Mozilla, but not for
IE7 (and it worked the same for IE6 as well). The URL is
http://www.rr.com/flash/index.cfm. I tried changing it to
http://www.google.com for IE but that didn't help a bit. I get exactly
the same error message as I did before. FWIW, the URL when I get the
error message is now http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74005.
I even changed the home page to be blank in the IE properties but it
didn't matter. I still get the same error message. And I am closing IE
every time I make a change to the IE home page.
This is really frustrating because I have to use IE to connect to my
office e-mail and some other company applications. My husband and I are
both frustrated with my having to use his computer to do his work. I
also need Eclipse/Tomcat on my computer because I'm not using it work,
but I would like to keep up my web programming skills. And, of course,
you are stuck with IE for some stuff.
Any other suggestions, David or anyone else?
Thanks,
Sue
