    Add-ons in IE8 question
    « on: March 26, 2012, 06:04:09 AM »
    Hello

    I am getting a message along the top of my browser (IE8) screen that says:

    Quote
    Internet Explorer is currently running with add-ons disabled. Click here to manage, disable, or remove your add-ons.

    When I click on the bar and choose 'Manage Add-ons' I see this screen (please see attached screen shot).

    I wouldn't really want to disable those add-ons (one is Silverlight, for instance), but how would I reove the annoying message?

    Many thanks

    Make sure that all addons are enabled first in your posted image. Have you tried resetting internet explorer settings? Any changes before this occured?

      Hello Jason

      Thanks for your reply.

      I don't think I made any changes, but I noticed a lot of those 'text-enhance' messages on the screen.

      How would I reset IE, please?

      Thanks.

      IE menu : Tools - Internet Options - Advanced tab - Reset.  What version of IE and operating system are you currently using?

        Hello Jason

        It is IE9 and the O/S is Win 7.

        Thanks

        Ok, please follow the reset button and check again if nothing changes after. Are these text enhance messages you refer to as ads for any website?

          Hello Jason

          Thanks for that.

          Yes, they appear on any Website, but when I check that same Website through Safari, I don't see them (making me think the problem is related to IE).

          I have reset the browser now so fingers crossed!

          Thanks again.
