Solved This is weird, is there a fix?

Using Windows 7-64bit.

I am really puzzled by this. I like Apple's iCloud but get a weird graphic error. Note the distorted today's date above "Calendar" when using any version of Firefox (v22 installed) but not on IE 10.

Using Firefox v22

Using IE 10.

I would default to IE 10 but it crashes frequently for no good reason, so FF it is.

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling both Java and Firefox but no difference.

To add to this I don't have this issue using FF on my HP laptop. Both are Windows 7-64bit.

Any ideas because I don't have a clue?

Sorry can't help with Firefox but for a crashing ie10,
Also Use No Add-ons mode/ Click Start and type in the search box,
Internet explorer/ click on the suggestion or it’s located at,
Start/ All programs/ Accessories folder/ System tools folder.

Thanks! If I could use IE 10 I would as it is said to be the most secure browser.

I went through your suggestions but still have issues with IE10. Other that the iCloud glitch, FF v22 opens these same sites without issues whereas IE 10 crashes when simply typing in a zip code for a Weather Channel search. Debugging says there's a Java error but Java is completely updated &, like I said, no issue doing the same thing with FF v22.

Maybe I didn't follow the instructions properly. I'll keep digging but need some ideas.

It's a rendering problem.
Different browsers handle web pages and apps differently. It used to be a lot worse "back in the day" but web developers/designers are gravitating towards more uniform standards when they design their sites/pages.
That particular section "Calendar" may have some code that FF can't digest.

See if this tip will help rais's tip. Everybody's different and I set mine to -2.0 you just have to experiment to see what suits you.
You may have to also adjust the browser's view settings if you use anything like NoSquint.

Just saw your recent response, my advice is to completely remove Java. You will be pleasantly surprised at how little you do not need it, besides it is a constant security risk.

If you do find you do need it for certain sites or gaming you can always re-install it. It could even be a reason for your rendering problem, and if you need it for the iCloud it may help to have a clean slate. Don't forget, it is okay to run javascript, it is entirely different from java.

How to remove Java

JavaRa is an effective way to deploy, update and remove the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Its most significant feature is the JRE Removal tool; which forcibly deletes files, directories and registry keys associated with the JRE. This can assist in repairing or removing Java when other methods fail.

For the IE10 problem, try:
Checking in Tools >Internet Options >Advanced Tab >Accelerated Graphics, if "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" is checked, uncheck it.

Then scroll down to Security:
If "Do not Save encrypted pages to disk" is checked, uncheck it.

Re-start IE10, see if that helps

I would agree with the assertion most people do not need Java, Gamers might disagree ?
Since Firefox came on your machine second..
I would start out fresh with ie10 and totally reset it/ delete personal settings and accept the recommended install.
Uninstall Java it usually does not auto date well anyway/ same goes for Flash player..
Post any interesting browser add-ons you use as well as Security suites.

rais's tips fixed Firefox. Now to get to work on IE10.

Edit: I changed setting from -1.0 to 1.0 but found it too small. Tried 1.2 & looked good + iCloud worked OK. Later I went to iCloud & it was back the way it was??? Tried 1.1 setting & so far OK.

None of the IE 10 suggestions helped.

I have completely uninstalled Java but still have issue with IE10. I don't see any way to uninstall IE10.

Activate Enhanced protection mode then test the issue,

This is all very frustrating. Here's where I'm at:

I have completely uninstalled Firefox. Now on to IE10. If I open the Weather Channel site & type in a zip code IE crashes but will open to that cities weather info after closing all the errors. When opening iCloud the site wants to install an Apple add-on. Once "install" is selected IE 10 crashes but offers this:

Try clearing the browser temp files: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/162582-internet-explorer-9-delete-browsing-history.htmlThis is for IE9, but there is no difference for IE10.

If you have just started using IE10 and don't have a lot of stuff saved, I would leave the top one unchecked and check off all the rest, the choice is up to you.

GARoss · Jul 15, 2013

Thanks but no change. Below are the Apple, Inc add-on request & Internet Explorer has stopped working. Is there a security setting blocking the install?

ThrashZone · Jul 15, 2013

I had no crash occur entering a zip code/ couldn't test with icloud but,
Use Ctrl+Shift+Delete,
Uncheck the top box and Delete.
Close and re-open ie.

GARoss · Jul 15, 2013

I uninstalled IE10, restarted & now have IE8. Everything works OK with one exception; iClouds Calendar shows Tuesday the 9th! When selecting it opens Calendar correctly to July 15th. So, I installed IE9-64bit & had the same issues as with IE10-64bit. All add-on from Apple, Inc install correctly.

For whatever reason my PC doesn't seem to like IE9 or 10 64bit.

ThrashZone · Jul 15, 2013

When ever you roll back to a previous version there will be Windows updates which need to be installed,
Unfortunately you didn't inform us of what kb# was listed in ie10 which there were many security updates issued last Tuesday/ Wednesday.
Open ie,
Use Alt+HA and post what kb# is listed.

GARoss · Jul 15, 2013

I've never used IE much so I don't know when these issues may have begun. For the past few hours I tried Chrome & decided to uninstall it. I also did an Windows Update & had problems installing a few updates. I did a search & found a solution to the error code 8024402C & have now successfully updated everything. One of the updates was IE10-64bit download so it's re-installed now but I still have similar issues.

Running IE10-64bit needs Enhanced Protected Mode, right? Would selecting "Disable" make IE10 32bit for everything or just this website?

Took me awhile to understand kb# but I did. Here's 2 months worth. There's more but on the Microsoft NET Framework 4 side. The recent re-install of IE10 still has issues. I'm not computer savvy enough to understand your abbreviations but will try.

Enhanced protection mode is a trouble shooting step which in normal circumstances would be like running the 64 bit version of ie9 instead of the 32 bit version which is what all apps would use anyway.
So in a normal environment e.p.m would not be activated I suggested it as way to see if ie10 would operate normally without crashing/ would open and you can do normal everyday surfing,
As far as I know only apple services would be exempt/ or allowed,
After uninstalling another browser you should reset internet explorer,

GARoss · Jul 15, 2013

But, it's my understanding that to run IE10-64bit, Enable Enhanced Protection Mode must be selected in Internet Options/Advanced/Security/. By selecting Disable it would seem to turn off 64bit IE but would that be just for that site only? Maybe I don't understand Enable Enhanced Protection Mode.

DavidE · Jul 15, 2013

If you tap the F12 key in IE it will display an area when you can try different changes.
You might want to play with the settings for "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode" to see if you can find something that works for you.
I don't use IE as my primary, but I've had no issues with it, and if nothing else F12 is a fun tool to play with
