encoding

[Jessica]

I recently installed SBC Yahoo DSL which included the
latest version of Internet Explorer. However, now, all
pages are loading as encoded in Western European ISO
instead of Western European Windows. I tried Auto-Select
which does not help. How can I change the settings so that
pages will load with the correct encoding?

I am having the same problem with my SBCYahoo-installed
version of IE6 SP1. Auto-select seems to reset the
encoding to Western European ISO. If I select West Euro
Windows, the page does load. However, if I refresh or
load another site with the same error, the encoding again
defaults to ISO.

IE Help>About> what version (e.g., 6.0.2600.1234CO)?

Copy/paste the following into an IE Addressbar, click on GO, then copy/paste
the results into your reply:

javascript:navigator.appMinorVersion

I have been experience the identical problem as the previous poster. I
tried the javascript:navigator.appMinorVersion approach as below and all I
got was a search for a web page. No Web Page found. Is there more to the
address than what is given?

I tried again in another browser (not the one SBCYahoo Supplied) and the
following came back on my screen:
;SP1;q313829;

Hope this helps.

You do /not/ have to install /any/ applications to use /any/ DSL service.

What "browser" did SBC/Yahoo supply? Is it an Internet Explorer version
(which is why I asked about IE Help>About>Version)? While you're at it,
look at IE Help>About>Update Versions, too, in the SBC/Yahoo browser, and
post what you find. (That's what "javascript:navigator.appMinorVersion"
would report.)

The IE browser you /did/ run it in is woefully outdated and much-less secure
than what's available now. Using that browser, go to Windows Update and
install recommended updates and patches. To assure a clean install, your
anti-virus application should be disabled and all other running processes
closed before going to Windows Update and when downloading/installing from
any MS page.

IIWY, I'd uninstall everything SBC/Yahoo-related (via Add/Remove Programs)
including the "SBC/Yahoo browser". To assure a clean uninstall, your
anti-virus application should be disabled and all other running processes
closed at the time. Reboot afterwards, then...

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
