Before you junk that thing I would suggest that you do ALL the Windows updates. Keep doing the updates till there aren't any left to do. Then see what happens.

I'm currently updated on ALL windows updates. All norton updates, all files scanned, all files cleaned up, all secure, all good, all running proper, green check in icon of norton signifying all good. I can't figure why one account opens and another account says java not running and the damn button is enabled on the custom settings. I've deleted all printers. I've reset all programs to default settings. I'm going home and opening the old clunker and going through the security settings one by one and setting it to the old clunkers settings. There are however a few settings i'm not sure of on the new one that are disabled. "allow windows to open web sites without addresses", allow scripting of microsoft web browser control", allow scriptlets", navagate windows and frames across diffrent domains", Include local directory path when loading files to server". These were all disabled. Ideas?

Well, that tears it....

Shoot My PC

The operating systems of the two PCs will be different so trying to set the new one up like the old one may not even be possible. What version of Internet Explorer is on the new PC? 

I wonder if it's UAC that's giving fits... User Account Control..

I'm a bit baffled that one Yahoo acccount opens but another does not.  I'm guessing you don't have this problem on any other systems you use?  I'm wondering if it isn't some setting/theme/add on for that account that's not causing a problem?  If the system works for everything but that one Yahoo account, I begin to suspect the account.

Where are you located?  I know GS is pretty proud of their work, and they say it works on all the sites they visit, they charge you for it anyway.

Windows 7 on pc, explorer 9. One yahoo account works, one doesn't, and my hotmail doesn't work. Now, my printer won't work and my flash drive won't work either.

hey straw, are you looking through the Norton 360 settings as well the Windows/IE settings?  This may be less than helpful advice, but can you turn 360 off and test the account to see if you can localize the problem?

oh, and does one yahoo account try to open in their "classic" format and the other in their new format?

i'm assuming you've tried removing all temp files, cookies, etc from internet options in IE?

I've never heard of a PC acting like that.....  Sounds like a virus or malware..  Doesn't make any sense at all.

OK, right now I am so G******ed mad I'm about to throw this F***ing this against the wall. I'm now trying to load the printer and it says my security settings prevent me from loading it. WTF. I think I'm going to uninstall this F***ing symantic norton 360 ant-virus S**T and go with just windows security like I did the old clunker and not worry.

Anybody ever hear of ESET anti-virus? Heard its ok.

Sounds like a good plan.  Put a free AV software on there like AVG or Avast! and go. 

+1 AVG...

Went into the security and set all the settings on default, I was home and set them all to match the clunker. It finally allowed me to load the driver for the printer, so now that problem is solved. I also think its a UAC problem too. Searching.

I went into norton. OMG. I couldn't tell you WTF anything is much less adjust or reset. There are countless catagories with bars indicating levels of protection using words and phrases I've never even imagined. Some are green, some are red, don't ask me WTF they all mean. Way too much info, way too complicated. Useless to me really.

OK, now I can print a test page from the printer but I can't send anything to it like trying to print some coupons from my yahoo account. EVERY F***ING THING I DO WITH POS REQUIRES SOME SORT OF FIX, THIS IS OLD.

At least you've found something worse than your brother-in-law. How's he doing anyway?

And providing entertainment for the rest of us.

My brother in law can go swallow a bullet for all I care, do us a great deal of good. Thanks guys, looks like I've overstayed my welcome, I'll figure it out myself.
