Ok... so I got accounts in both DeviantArt and Photobucket to submit art and upload images. Now I can't do any of that because I keep getting error reports. and whether I send it or not the page suddenly just closes down... and this happens with any laptop or computer... what in the world is wrong with my account?

Can you get us the error reports?!

get you?... here:
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Please tell Microsoft about this problem
We have created an error report that you can send to help us improve Internet Explorer. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous.

and then there's debug, send Error Report or Don't send. and no matter what I click the page always closes...

From the error report, it something with the Internet Explorer. Did you try using another browser, just to be sure you don't face the same thing?!

firefox... though I prefer internet explorer I guess I'll have to enable it again :(...

I am asking you check another browser so we can be sure, because you have mentioned that, you are facing the same with every computer you use, so maybe there is something with the Internet Explorer version you are using.

oh I see!!... sure thing... I'll do that as soon as it's enabled and tell you :cute:

Did you upgrade your internet explorer? if not then download the new version

wow...that site is blocked with me in uni... :mmhmm:...
but thanx nabs... will try it out.

ok... I managed to install ie7.... and the error problem still persists....
still can't enter photobucket or deviantart... the prob seems to lie somewhere else.

& did you try the other browser?! Firefox?!

... it didn't used to work with me... i now figured it was because I enabled proxy due to my uni's requirements... now I disabled it and you're right....it's working!!!.... I can enter photobucket without problems :os....

what's the secret? :XD:

So I believe your windows has something, maybe a bug that doesn't allow the Internet Explorer(maybe including all the versions) to perform well while accessing these specific sites.


Thats why we use Firefox here :D

funny with the other laptops IE doesn't have this.

ahh... I'm sooo not a fan of firefox for some reason :(... but if it enables what I want... oh well...what gives.

thank you NF... your help's well appreciated.

Stop playing with the browser settings and every thing will be all right.

it's due to me playing with it that it worked :XD:
that's the flaw when the university's system's different than home...
