Strange browser problem...

[|tera|]

Spoke to the admin of a forum I usually visit and he says it's a problem on my pc, not with his forum.

Anyway, I get this error in FF3 when I view the index of the forum:


I get these two errors if I view it in Chrome.



It only started recently, so I hope someone can help please.

Hows your vespa going?

Download the newest C++ runtimes from the MS site & try again. You might also want to reinstall FF.

Better than my laptop although it's not a Vespa It's a Skygo, getting it on Monday

Did it this morning. I got .Net 3.5 and installed it in repair mode. It didn't ask me to restart.

Running Spybot now.

It's not a .Net issue spyware/virus issue. Not a FF issue either as Chrome gives an error as well.

I'm saying it's not my pc, uninstalled .Net completely and it still does the same.

Stuff that then.

@ Tera - try this :

download and install virtualbox (or m$ virtual pc) - then install win98/xp into that virtual PC. Try surfing from that and see if you get the same error.

Did you flush your browser cache?

Tried on the desktop system at home with FF2, so it has to be my laptop. This crap is getting old, very fast....

Not that I know of.

Edit: IE displays the forum correctly, WTH

I meant the separate C++ runtimes. Not sure how/if they are integrated in .net.

Got this link on Google this afternoon, used the manifest file first and it didn't work, so got a bit worked up. Uninstalled the latest VLC and voila, problem solved.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
tera
