A website was referred to me by a friend to view a short video. (I am on a 56K modem to the server)
I had Internet Explorer 7 installed at the time and the window came up with a red 'X' in the corner. As I have been having issues with the I/E 'losing itself; then finding itself with appropriate windows displayed during the pause, I decided to try another brouser.
I downloaded Firefox-3. It received the site's window with a video icon in the corner. I did not press the issue further as I never go to u-tube, etc. and all the sites that cluttered the toolbar. It was promptly removed as I personally did not care to spend the time studying it's in and outs.
Next I went to Internet Explorer 8, which is currently on here for trial to see if the 'losing itself' would be solved by the newer version. When going to the same site mentioned above, the window now has an icon thus:
What the heck does this icon mean?
________________________________________________________________
WELL, THAT WAS SHORTLIVED! This time instead of I/E losing and finding itself, it just loses itself and shuts down. Clicking the 'WHA'HAPPEN?' button reveals this: (Data Execution Prevention) What Next?
I/E 8 is outt'a here also, back to I/E 7 <DAMN!> :sa:
