One for Pin

When I click on the two links in this post. I get Page unavailable in the first link. The second link gives me this message on a blank page. A potentially dangerous Request.Cookies value was detected from the client (nsp2_PSC_countrysports="entry280249&httpre...").

Click here to go back and try agian.

Yet when I get to the site through my favorites, IE7 keeps crashing. It is only that site I have a problem with. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Any idea's please.

The first link is truncated, it has been shortened by something and copied then pasted in its shortened form, forums (this one included) will shorten the displayed text of a link so it isn't massive. When clicked on they reference the full URL and will work, if copied verbatim they won't, eg:

 

http://tv.player.countrychannel.tv/skins/0...r=countrysports

 

The three full stops in that URL tell me its been shortened..

 

The second link works just fine, however I think your IE7 security settings are too high and its decided that it doesn't like the cookies being sent by the site. This site is very dynamic and it does set about 10 cookies some of which are non-standard. None of them look suspicious and are fine to accept.

 

Go into IE7 tools->options->privacy and then click advanced. Tick "override automatic cookie handling" and then on the right hand side (3rd party cookies) make sure the "prompt" radio button is selected, also check "always accept session cookies".

 

Close, restart IE and revisit the site, you should be prompted to accept about 10 cookies from the site, accept them and it should work.

 

Let me know how you get on.

Done what you suggested Pin, closed IE, tried the link. It went straight to the site, no problems with the cookie handling. However, there was no prompt to accept cookies.

As soon as I got in there IE7 crashed again. (IE has encountered a problem and needs to close) message displayed. I used to visit that site when I had IE6 no problems at all. For some reason IE7 does not like it. Must have sent 20 odd error reports today alone. However, there was no prompt to accept cookies.

Its very "specific" that site, check you have windows media version 9 installed, if not upgrade that.

 

It uses a horrible thing called "active-x", a proprietary dynamic scripting thing which to be honest, sucks donkey balls :blink: It may be necessary to update the activex control that site uses, see :-

It is also possible the site just doesn't support IE7 properly, it won't support Firefox properly, or loads of other browsers since it requires activex (which is a windows thing) there is a kludge but it doesn't work well.

 

Since I don't use IE7 I can't tell, perhaps someone else with IE7 can try it and see if their mileage varies?

 

On the cookies front it may very well be it's moaned about them and then accepted them anyway. Try clearing out the cookies for that site, closing IE and going back to it, it will prompt you then.

Again I don't know precisely, the site only lists 9 as a requirement, you'd think it would be backwards compatible but bitter personal experience with Mickey$oft over the years has taught me it probably won't be.

 

After a trawl through the source for the site I found this http://www.countrychannel.tv/contactform.htm

 

Fill that in and see what they say, tell them IE7 version, WM11 etc..
