I'd try surfing the site in Firefox.

LOL. I was reading a tech article today and the editor said, basically, if you're having problems, either use another computer or switch to FireFox! :-)

That said, I checked the Microsoft support site. Check out this KB article. There are a few suggestions as to what to check, such as your AV settings. This article applies to IE 6, but most of the settings are the same between IE 6 and 7.

I also did some more searching around the Microsoft site and there are several topics that you might want to check out. I'm too lazy to look back to see exactly what the error was, but either click this link or go to www.microsoft.com and search for "script errors internet explorer vista".

One thing you may want to check, and it's an easy thing to check... log in to your Vista system with an admin account and see if you can view the Sephora site. If you can, then it's got to do with permissions. You may want to set yourself up as an admin so this doesn't happen elsewhere.

okay..here's another one.
i have a friend who has a hotmail account and i never receive emails from her. the only time i have was when a group email went out and she hit 'reply all'. she receives my emails, but i don't get hers. i have checked to see if she is going to a spam folder..nope. gone to my main comcast account to see if they are somehow not being downloaded to WindowsMail/Outlook Express, nope..not there either.
i have looked on comcast's help forums, nothing there, but i did post my question there too. googled and found lots of stuff about not receiving email TO a hotmail account but not from.

Ask your friend to email you, and then reply to that email. See if she receives it.

Check your spam settings and be sure that emails are set to go into a junk folder, and not be deleted automatically. Also check to be sure that you don't have the junk folder set to delete automatically upon exit.

Many content filters (either via an org or thru an ISP) have filters on Hotmail accounts. Can you receive an email from someone else with a Hotmail account? If you want, send me a PM with your email and I'll try to send you an email using mine.

Check to be sure she didn't accidentally get added to a blocked senders list.

Finally, try to create a rule just for her. Create a new folder, create a rule that all emails from her address go into that folder, and have her send you an email. See if the rule picks it up.

Annie, I meant it the other way around. Email her, have her reply to the email, and see if you get that one. Sorry about that!

Hi guys I have a question for you. My so wants a "theme maker" for christmas, and quite honestly I have no idea where to find one. I assume it is to make wallpapers, icons, cursors, and animation all match with the click of a button. Does anyone know anything about these,where to get one, and which ones are the best? Thanks I really need your help on this one.

Ktbb, google "desktop theme maker." I don't know which ones are best, but there are a lot of free ones out there. I'd try 'em till he finds one that he likes or does what he wants.

I have Windows XP Home Edition, and am having a problem with my CPU. Sometimes it'll run at 100% and I've got one browser open. I checked the task manager and it said "system idle process" was using 90-95%. I did a google search and found there was a problem with the automatic update that causes this, and ran the MS approved fix. I also downloaded "process explorer" to get a better picture of what was being used.
The problem? Now my CPU will run at 100%, and it says "system" is using it all. What does that mean? Again, I may have WMP, solitaire, and a couple of tabs open, but the process expl. doesn't show that Explorer is using any CPU.
Any suggestions? Anyone?
TIA.
