Cab File

I have win7 and every now and then I get a Folder called
IEDiag.cab

On my Desktop.

If I open it it has a lot of Files that ask me whare to extract then to.

So I pick a Folder to put them in and let it Unzip them.

All the Files are .txt Files.

And everything they say is very Goffy.

This is just what one of the Files says

[Branding]

CompanyName=Microsoft Corporation

Wizard_Version=11.00.9600.18231

Version=11,00,9600,18231

Custom_Key=MICROSO

Global=1

IE4 Welcome Msg=1

Platform=2

GUID={7211FFE6-C149-11D0-AFF0-00AA003758BB}

Type=0

NoClear=1

 

its files from herd protect malware software scan did you run a scan from herdprotect anti malware for internet explorer would be iediag.cmd

 

No I did not run any scans.

But off and on when I Exit iE I get a window that tells me iE had a problem and had to close.
Then I click Continue and it exits iE.

I think I do have iE problems is it bad or do you know of what may be doing this?

 

have you tried to reset internet explorer

 

The IEDiag.cab is created so IE can be diagnosed.

I agree with GI resetting IE may clear up some of the issues you may be having even listening to Tunein Radio.

 

i could be wrong but i remember for explore used to be IEDdiag.cmd but ok its been so long thanks Rustys

 

Ok I Reset my iE11 to it's Default.

And when I get an e mail from somebody on FaceBook I click the Profile Link in my E mail and a Black Window open with a Command Promt.

I still can not get FaceBook Links to work in my e mail.

I do not know what happened????

 

Did you read the information I posted on your other reference to the E Mail Link thread?

http://computerhelpforums.com/threads/e-mail-link.47563/#post-192531

When you hover over link with the mouse what does it show?

Here is the information again.

 

Links may need to be re-associated to IE for what ever reason they may be reporting to the command prompt.

Click Start
Default Programs
Select Set Your Default Programs
Select Internet Explorer
Click Choose Defaults for This Program
Put a Check Mark in Select All
Click Save
Click OK
Close

 

I just opened Control Panel and clicked on Defaault Programs.

On the Left says iE it is the first in the list.

I click it and then on the Bottum Right it says Set As Default so I click this.

Then I click OK.

I then exit everything.

I go into my e mail and I see the massage from my sister from FaceBook.

And if I click her Profile photo in my e mail it does not take me to FaceBook like it did befor.

It opens a command prompt.

And yes this happens with anybody that comments on a Post and I get an e mail fromn FaceBook.

I can get all things from FaceBook in my e mail but I have to go to FaceBook directly not just by clicking on a profile photo or link in my e mail.

But when anybody replys to me on this forum I just click the lik in my e mail and it takes me here.

But FaceBook stopt working in my e mail?

 

And when you hover over the link what does it in the status bar? If no status bar what dies it say next to the mouse pointer?

This is only happening with FaceBook links? What about if you click a link form here? What about any others in your email?

 

Ok I use ThunderBird to get and send e mail.

Like I say when I get e mails from this site I can click the Blue Box that says Read at WebSite.

And it works and takes me here.

But FaceBook does not.

When I put my Mouse over my Sisters Photo when I get an e mailk from her from FaceBook it does nothing.
And yes these are real because when I log into FaceBook I see all the e mails she sent me.

Maybe ThunderBird has to be Reset do you know how?

 

Is you sisters the only ones that you are getting form Facebook that are affected or is it any links form Facebook?

If you use another email program or through their website does this still happen. Trying to see if it is localized to ThunderBird or the links sent via Facebook.

The only other place is under Set Associations which if you have to be careful with.

 

OK I just Loged into my e mail on Comcast.net.

I see FacBook e mails and Right under the little profile photo of who it is by it says See On FaceBook in a Blue Box.

If I click it it takes me to FaceBook and I can Log in.

Now if I use ThunderBird to look at the same e mail I still see the Blue Box that says See On FaceBook but if I click it it opens a Command Line and does not take me to FaceBook.

So I now know my ThunderBird Program is norking Right.

Does this help any??

 

Yes this now tell us the is issue with ThunderBird and not the system.

 

Do you know what is going on?

 

The file association with in ThunderBird is linked to some reason to the command prompt.

Yes it can be fixed the instruction are on another system will post them when I can.
