Text changes size different pages?

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

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


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/

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

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.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

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

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

[Train]

Why not both?

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

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?

[Train]

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?

[General Winters]

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.

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

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

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
