I started using Mozilla this week as a browser and have a question about a strange error message I keep running into.I tried posting here and on Mozilla everytime I tried to submit a post it would tell me " the document contains no data" and not load my post. Yesterday at work I kept getting the same message when I was on eBay.Our city comp idiot managed to block eBay but my firefighter could access it through his AOL account. I felt bad about using his , so I tried getting to ebay through Mozilla.Now here is the weird part,while his AOL account was open on the computer I could get eBay using Mozilla--not on his AOL-- and figuring I did not need it anymore I shut it down.As soon as I did that I started getting that same error message. He signed back in to AOL and eBay was back working on Mozilla----????? | ||

AOL takes possesion of IE. If you close IE, it won't connect. Get out of AOL. | ||

Jim - Don't give up yet, you're doing a good thing for yourself in the long run. I did a google search for mozilla document contains no data and this came up, it may help you: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Document_contains_no_data I spent some years of working on systems with IE, OE, and AOL products on them. I made a lot of money fixing systems that were hammered by a number of issues and viruses. As a result, on my systems, I quit using IE and OE for Netscape and then Mozilla. The best way to "take the cure" is to zap your system, reload the operating system, uninstall IE and OE, install Mozilla, and never put another AOL product on your system. Eventually it will all make sense. IE will still be on your system, it has to be to get Windows updates. I occasionally (3-4 times a year?) use IE to look at something on a web page because the web page developer was an idiot and assumed that everyone in the world is lock stepped into using IE/OE. Occasionally, well meaning friends and relatives will send you emails with text and/or images embedded (by the narrow minded M$/IE/OE/AOL evil kingdom) and that can't be seen with any other browser. If you hack at them a little you can see them, or you can just dump them and ignore it. Believe me, it is not worth changing back to the evil kingdom to see an occasional cartoon. Jack | ||

AOL must be effectively implementing some sort of VPN (Virtual Private Network). That means when AOL is connected, your computer acts like it is a part of the AOL network, not part of your firehouse network. Once you kill AOL, you are back to appearing as a part of your firehouse network. Your network admin can kill AOL if they decide to do so also, they probably just have not. Yet. Got any friendly neighbors there with a wireless access point and a cable modem? Or could you put in your own machine with a cable modem there at the firehouse, completely disconnected from the city network. Maybe a cable modem, with a wireless access point, and some personal firefighter laptops? Don't do any city business on the public one, dont ever bridge the city network and cable modem network, it is just for personal use. | ||

i'm running mozilla firefox for my internet usage. i don't seem to have any problems. there may be an update or something you need. or it could be a caryover problem with some icky program that IE let in your system. i was going to comment that you can't uninstall IE but then they corrected themselves. you can make it a non active part of the system though. |
