Re: IE Security Zone buttons greyed out

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Please include all of previous message in your replies, Gil.

Do these links not work at all or do the resulting IE windows give you a "Page not found" or "Page cannot be displayed; Server or DNS error" error? For the latter, see http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/archive/answers.htm#dns.

If you revert back to IE4, do the problems persist?

Thanks for the reply. I managed to re-enable the radio buttons through the
registry, but unfortuantely that didnt solve the p[roblem. To  give an
example of urls I can and can't open, I went to Google  News and made a
list of the links I could open and the links I could not.

==============
if the url ends in html, htm or shtml, I can't open it. The only exception
was the CBS link and there I could open it, but none of the pictures
displayed.
  Another example, I can got to www.yahoo.com, but none of the pictures
display (red x's) and I can't sign in or open any links. I can also go to
www.ebay.com, and then open the site map, but once there none of the links
to the sub-categories will open.
  I'm stumped. Any ideas?
                 Thanks - Gil Theissen
