I can't run cgi scripts in Internet Explorer.  An example of a page that uses a cgi script would be a product listing on Ebay.  --That's right I can't view any item listings on Ebay. Does someone know what I need to do?  The error I get when going to any Ebay listing is a "Page can not be displayed".

Please help.

Well.  Are you  on a different computer right now.  The whole forum runs off of cgi scripts.  The only thing i can suggest is to look at your computers security settings.  In IE it sunder tools, internet options, security. What setting is it at?

No, I am on my computer right now.  When I go to Ebay, and click on a product such as-Volant air intake- my screen says, Page can not be displayed.  

I customized all my security settings to low or medium-low.  I don't know what the problem would be.  I assume it is cgi sripts, but don't know.  When you click on a product on ebay it opens a cgi script, and that is what will not load.  

I can see ebay.com, and any subdirectories, but when I click on a product listing I get that -Page can not be displayed

I don't know what is wrong with it.

Which version of IE are you running? Try upgrading to the newest version. If you are running Win 98 try to repair IE. Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. In the Microsoft System Info window click on Tools -> Internet Explorer Repair Tool. Run that and see what happens. I beleive repairing IE will set all tthe settings back to default, which is fine for most webpages, including EBay.

 

Another thing you can try is Refreshing the page that can't be loaded, that sometimes works.

 

Let us know how it works.

In IE go to Tools>Windows Updates  And download the IE updates and the other windows updates.  Sometimes when I go on pages like ebay and click on something I'll get page can not be displayed, I just hit back and click the link again and it usually works.

I am running IE6.  Refreshing the page does not work, nor does going back and clicking on the link again.

I ran the Internet Explorer Repair Tool, that did not work either.

Should I run the Restore Previous Windows Configuration in the Interntet Explorer Repair Tool?

So far I can't get it to work.

I noticed, while I was looking around in the System Information, that a file -wsock32n.dll-is not present.

I had IE5.5 and Internet Tools, Service Pack 2 previously.  Then I went to Microsoft's site, under the downloads, and download IE6, and ran the setup file.  Could there be any problems with that? I don't know if it installed it fresh, or installed over the existing IE5.5.  Maybe that is where the problem comes from.

I do not have the wsock32n.dll file on my system either.

 

Let me know the webpage you are trying to view. You may want to revert back to IE 5.5 SP2 and try that as well.

 

Is it just Ebay or are there other sites you cannot load?

It is mainly ebay pages that I cannot load, but there was one other instance when I could not load a CGI script, but I don't remember what page it was on.

I was not able to view these pages in IE5.5 SP2 either, so it won't help to go back.

Here is a typical ebay link that wont work for me:

Typical ebay page

See if you can think of anything else, thanks for the help.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
