Hi,

This is probably a simple setting that I am missing, and hopefully someone
can tell me which one needs changed.

We frequently go to the Safeway store's weekly ad.
(http://shop.safeway.com/superstore/s...pStoreID=2221).

We never used to have a problem loading the individual ads in IE7 until a
month or more ago. When clicking on one of the ads now, it only brings up a
blank page with Safeway's header on it, no nothing below it.

Recently I installed Firefox just to see if it would load them. It does.
My wife and daughter both have commented previously that there are occasional
web pages that they visit that will not load, and my daughter had installed
Firefox quite a while ago just so she could get into the pages IE7 could not.

All 3 computers are running XP SP3 with current updates.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista?

Vista:
With the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as
passwords and you will have to reinstall browser add-ons, work through this

Don, thank you for your response. After starting IE without add-ons, the
Safeway ad loaded fine. I then restarted IE normally and disabled the
add-ons that were on both computers one at a time. It turned out to be
IE7Pro. I looked through the IE7Pro settings, and when I turned off the Ad
Blocking feature, the Safeway ad loaded fine.

Case solved!

I have IE's ad-blocker enabled, which will have to do.

Thank you for your help.

Dale.

Internet Explorer does not have an ad blocker. (It does have a pop-up
blocker.)

IE7pro is not a Microsoft product.

Leonard, true and true.

The main reasons I use IE7Pro is for the menu at top fix, IE spell checker,
and IE find features that integrate with IE7. The ad-blocker was just a
bonus, which I can live without. I know that there are individual fixes and
products that cover all 3 of these (the Menu at Top fix, Inline Search, and
IESpell), but this combines them in one place.

So, as long as IE7's pop-up blocker keeps most of the annoying pop-ups at
bay, I am a happy camper. If ads that were being blocked by IE7Pro's ad
blocker become too much of an irritation, there are other products that can
deal with them, hopefully without killing pages like Safeway's. If I find
more problems caused by IE7Pro, I can always switch back to the individual
ones.

Thanks,

Dale.

You're welcome. Glad you got it resolved.

You did reveal the OS, didn't you. I was under-caffeinated. ;-)

For nearly a decade I've used Proxomitron to filter web pages
for undesirable behavior. Sadly, the author died some time ago
but the program was in near perfect operating order by that time
and the filters have been expanded greatly by some in its user
community. One of Proxomitron's features is its reference to
lists of acceptable and unacceptable web sites when applying
certain filters. One can exclude web sites completely - similar
to a HOSTS list - or one can exclude specific web sites from
being filtered or even include/exclude specific web sites from
specific filters.

Proxomitron does not have a spell checker - though copy/paste
from a text editor which does suffices for me.

I mention this program, not because I'm suggesting anyone use or
switch to it, merely that some of its inclusion/exclusion
features may be present in whatever filtering software you are
using. Even IE has an exclusion list, no?
