-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Is 98 better than XP?

LOL...I am sorry, Rose. I guess I assume too much.

We both have the same company, and living here, the "other side of the
water" can mean only 3 miles, or 1 hour...LOL....depends. Other than that,
we are both on the same wavelength. If I can open a specific website, then
the supplier is not blocking it.

Yes, he does have Zonealarm, that I set up, yes, he does have a pop-up
stopper, that I set up, yes, he does have Norton, that I set up. Yes, we do
the cookie thing, yes, I checked with the site provider. As I said, this is
a harmless home website, and it has to be an XP thing, but I am danged if I
can figure it out. I want to exorcise XP from his machine, and go back to my
calm, collected, easy-going, always-works 98 ;-) Next project, if I ever get
time.......is to incinerate XP.

| I have no problem viewing the page either..and I am on XP...
|
| Does he have a firewall?
|
| Have you checked all of his settings?
|
| I have seen an error message like this ... and I think it was on a site
that
| insisted it had to have you accept cookies...
| Now, this personal site might not..but I wonder if the owner..web space
| provider..has something going on?
| That is just a thought.
|
| Unfortuantely the error message is at fault here in that it is not
| definitive enough....
|
| I do not understand about you both having the same 'company' and 'side of
| the water'.
|
| If by company, you are talking your ISP's.. and by side of the water you
| mean Europe and North America....
| then... yes I think the settings can be way different by the ISP's.
|
| Not sure where you are... (not sure where I am...lol!  - Las Vegas is
where
| I am..... I think.... lol!) nor where your friend is..but.. have you had
| someone... with the same ISP on his side of the water test this site?
|
| Just some thoughts....
|
| Hugs,
|
| Rose
| (I am in the desert..so I am on NO side of the water...ha ha!)

|
| OK XP fan, LOL...
|
| Tell me, kind lady, how do I set my friend's XP computer to open websites
| that every one else can open.
|
| Here is a website that he cannot open, along with the error messages. This
| ain't rocket science, just a simple home website.
|
| http://www.thehudgins.net/hudgeandphyllis/index.htm
|
| Got any ideas? The error messages give me basically nothing on a google
| search. One possible was that it was the connection. Unfortunately, both
of
| us have the same company, and the company does not block the server on my
| side of the water, and certainly shouldn't on his side of the water.
|
| I have no time to figure out what hoop XP wants you to jump thru. It opens
| fine for my 98. I tried changing his security settings for no other reason
| than that XP decides what it wants you to do, but still no help.

| I never have trouble with my 98, and will not trade it at this point for
any
| other system.

| |
| | I have not...(knock on wood.... knock..knock..knock) had a BSOD on
