Text changes size different pages?

Charter communications came and changed modems a few days ago, and i did not know until to late, they installed a charter toolbar- their web page- "home page", i did not want, then there is a charter updater 1.0, these are in add ons in fire fox.

I had an h of a time getting the home page changed, it was like they had it locked in. I finally just started deleting the tool bars, actually disabling them, then the modem quit connecting again, which was the reason they were here, it kept going down and i had to unplug the power 6-8 x a day.

Now the text size jumps around, i have gone into firefox content changed it there, doesn't stick, i have used view/zoom in, same thing happens.

It is not there now but they had a heading at the very top of the screen, google powered by charter.

The modem went down twice yesterday, not yet today// Their service up and down is so goofy it's unreal.

Guess the last time i let some one else mess with changing things?

They very well know that from me now also.

Any way, in yahoo email, the text moves around large to small, other web pages no rhyme or reason which.
If you know?
thanks
:mad:

it just did it here, normal sixe text as i type this, when i hit save or post, the text size reduced to like 8 or less

i just now found this in error console, what can you tell me?

Upgrade to 3.0.4 and see if that helps.
Disable add-ons.
If that does not work,
Try IE, that looks like a badly written .css to me.

That is what i am using in firefox see attached, i deleted those errors, forgot to check them first, thats where i ran into the problem was the charter addons,
i "disabled" them , did not uninstall them or delete, then the modem quit again, so i re enabled it,

I just loaded ie 7, at the top it says google -powered by charter communications,

i went into yahoo with ie 7 and it's not jumping around so far.

so what do i do, uninstall firefox?

other than disable addons or delete them as you said?
thanks

i haven't changed any text size yet on ie 7, why is "google-powered by charter communications at the top of the screen, because thay changed modems and slipped me a mickey?
thanks
same thing happened here again this type i am doing is norm, when it saves to the web page it reduces.--firefox
withou googling or searching here what is .css? sorry

here is the charter addons in firefox below

The branding on the very top of IE can be changed by a simple edit of the registry, see http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/1...including-ie7/

Thanks

I try not to go there, am not geared for registry editing "spooked" i guess,

i did see "you are the power" General Winters

In programs, there is a "Charter Browser Updater" with Java Icon, why does that need be there, was not before this dude was here the other day, if i uninstall that , will that remove "powered by charter"? if you know?

At the top right now it says "Virtual Dr Forums-Computer Tech Support-Reply to Topic-Powered by Charter Communications. :(

thanks
i uninstalled- reinstalled fire fox did not make any difference.

Not to start a new topic but is there a bug in the text holding size in Fire Fox 3.04? what ever the latest version is i do not have it now

I uninstalled it, reinstalled it still all over the place with text sizes different sites,

in controll panel/programs/ there is windows media player firefox , after firefox uninstalled, i did not check the box remove personal settings or what ever it says, thinking i'd be using it again, but not the way it works now.

When i checked the error console, there were warnings there, i do not understand, i have on saved in text its like 50000 characters or so if you'd like to see.
thanks
:confused:

** Threads Merged. **

If you don't want to edit the registry, just download the vbs file from the link above, double click to run, open and click yes to reset the branding to default, or no and type your own text for the title bar.

thanks

i have not messed with the registry in vista, is this situatiion you explain,, like a walk in the park, a restore point first or back up?
thanks

:o

Why not both?

i guess that's true

after 2 years the link to change the page heading in registry for vista is , subject to user not an issue?

right now at the top of the page it's reply to topicv -mozilla fiefox, not powered by charter,
???
i wonder where that went to????????

it's on ie 7, i have that open on another site, it used to be on firefox.

if i uninstalled charter toolbar updater,maybe it would be gone, they put it in when they changed modems, what would that have to do with the modem?

Charter updater, when uninstalled does not remove that reg.


General Winter's link tells how to get rid of it.
Or you can just change it if you wish.

In Oct, I changed the charter garbage to my name for my daughter. She laughed about it.

i had to download it it ie 7, fire fox would,'t do it.

thanks

do you use automatic file back up in vista, if so any tips?

i was looking for backup and restore point, windows does the restore point on updates, how do i do it when i do this script to gat the charter out?
thanks

i found it in regedit, there is also a google serch by charter listed there, do they both change?

Correct, firefox when you left click a link to a file such as a .vbs file reads it as a text file while IE downloads it.

Opera, Iron (based on Googles Chrome) and Safari do the same as firefox.

You can download the file in Firefox by right clicking the link and selecting "save link as"

Once you have it downloaded, double click it to run.

do you use automatic file back up in vista, if so any tips?

i was looking for backup and restore point, viista does the restore point on updates, how do i do it when i do this script to gat the charter out? there were 2 listings, google search by charter, and powered by charter, do these both come out with this script?
thanks

:confused:

Hi

I have it backed up-registry- do i need restore point before i do the script change?
If i was just to type it in without the script, how would i do that? There is mention of "string"? I see at the top default is not set .
thanks

It wouldn't hurt anything to create a restore point. Here are the instructions:

As far as downloading and running the chgietitle.vbs file, try this in IE (Internet Explorer):

1. Right-click the following link:
   http://www.dougknox.com/utility/scripts/chgietitle.vbs
   and then select "Save Target As..."
   http://www.SpywareDrGuide.com/Virtua...rget_as_01.jpg
   
   
2. In the "Save As" box that pops up, click "Desktop" on the left, check at the bottom to make sure that the "File name:" is "chgietitle.vbs" and the "Save as type:" is "VBScript Script File", and then click the "Save" button
   http://www.SpywareDrGuide.com/Virtua...save_as_01.jpg
   
   
3. Now look on your Desktop and double-click the "chgietitle.vbs" file you just saved there, (and then follow the on-screen instructions).

That's all there is to it.

thanks

i did get it downloaded before to my desk top,it's something like chgietitle.vbs,

last night i went to regedit/file/export/save and named the file i think the instructions were have the registry backuo (export) on my desk top, when that was down, i think in the registry it showed "attachment" and my name on the file on desktop. is that right?>

i found 2 sets of instructions on registry back up both were the same.?

just as a question, and i don't have anything else to do, is this always a normal way to change the registry or this was writtten for this purpose only?

and this deletes both entries of charter, the default at top is not set, but charter has a google entry and a window entry, this script changes both of those?
thanks:confused:
will do it later after i get the cold done with and snow removal taken care of

That was written for those who do not like to go into the regs and do it the normal way.

You probably have given it to me before,. without a lengthy lecture presentation, and there probably isn't how would you- i- do it other wise?
sorry if i over looked it, might as well learn?
thanks
after i do it this way first

It took me a while to go into the regs and mod them. Your day will arrive. ;)

I wish i knew what caused those errors :(

Thanks
being i'm new to that forum i don't want to copy that statement, but they said it's norm for that on f fx,, why you don't get it unless you are behind your mod site:?

i'll get some language and pm you if you wish, i don't understand it, i did do the view and page or source what ever you said and it showed like you said,
thanks

if you can link to this
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewto...st=0&sk=t&sd=a

I do basic webpage work and yes I can understand why you are getting what you see.

And that problem is caused by the differences in the various browses. so, to get a page to work properly in IE7 it might not work properly in IE5 or IE6 and of coarse that error may show up in Firefox and who know what other browser.

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets- is were things can be corrected or made worse. Just depends on the knowledge or trouble the person is willing to go to.

Then the browsers basically have 3 modes.
Standard
Almost standard
Quirk

So, should a Quirk mode be hit, anything can happen.

Had to dig out the books on .CSS for web design and I see I have a long ways to go to understand this mess.

Yes, warnings are normal. In order to make pages look good in both Firefox and IE, since IE does not follow the standards, often pages will use some IE-only tags. These are ignored by Firefox and do not typically cause problems. If you are a web designer, you may choose to do this or you may instead choose to make totally standards compliant pages.

Eplains in the best I think.

Sorry

I won't go there anymore unless it c------s/

thanks
:)

weather permitting i'd rather stick to baseball

The more I learn the more I find I do not know. Unending it seems. ;)

How do you like the look of this?

:D


thanks all job well done
now do i just unistall charter updater in programs or leave it for "modem"?
i have their modem and isp.

ADD and Remove is where it is. Uninstall it.

Now to update the modem, power cycle it.
Unplug the power from the modem for 30 seconds, then plug the power back in. The first thing the modem does, is run out and get the newest/latest firmware and installs it.
Once installed, then the modem boots the rest of the way up.

I just had to do that to take advantage of the latest speed changes Comcast made in my area. Yes the firmware is where your upload/download speeds are restricted.

What I use for testing.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

The present 2 - 2.4 MB sure beats the 700k I got when the SP first came out.

Do you speak the language?

LOL I think I can relearn it.

Uff Da, is about as far as we go.

Since Charter put all this junk on , the modem has gone out once, i think, maybe twice, but it could be there cable went down, so i had to unplug it, to recycle.

If i remove the charter browser updater and we have the same disconnect as i had before?
thanks

You should be just fine with out the updater.
I sure would try to get rid of it.

But first open IE, Internet options, Connections tab, Lan settings button.
Is there anything in there?

thanks

this is what is there picture attached
automatically detect settings
thanks

Should be fine then. Mine is blank there though.

It's deleted and working so far
charter tool bar updater uninstalled, modem unplugged reloaded ok
thanks

got to do MSXML uninstall reinstall tomorrow
:)

Most of the works files are captured , will find more on cd's but i i have ms works to use asdefault now

Yes I noticed the change. :D

Makes for a nice joke. Drives son-in-law nuts.

your son in law is or is not wegian?

Neither are.
I was raised with a bunch of them.

Dang, 30 years since I was in Norge. :(
