EDIT: Nevermind, I found the problem. Can a mod delete this thread please???

You have entered fullscreen mode that is why the window outline and the X in top right corner is not showing. Press "F11" to get out of fullscreen and it should be like it was before. Regarding the other thing I am not really sure but if you post a screenshot then maybe I could help you out.

EDIT: Glad everything is working as you want it to now. :)

Actually, it's not. I spoke too soon.

I found the "screen" I was looking for when I pressed F12, it is entitled "Emulation" I believe. Once I switched to that, the old screen I was always used to pops up when I hit F12.

However, this "fix" no longer works on the secure websites I was having trouble with before where the screen would be "blank" of any personal data. The screen outline would show up, but no data such as my account balance, etc. Just a big empty screen with the bank's name at the top.. Before, once I would F12 and changed the document mode from "Edge" to "10" the screen would reload and my information would be visible.

Now, when I hit F12, switch from "Edge" to "10" the F12 screen immediately switches to debugger mode, and the main screen is not available.

So now I once again can't access those sites, where for months switching from "Edge" to "10" worked, it apparently no longer does. Yet I've changed nothing on my end that I'm aware of.

Okay, I'll try and use screenshots to explain.

"Capture" is a screenshot of this thread, with me hitting F12, and changing the document mode from "Edge" to "10" and as you can see, the screen reloads and still looks fine.

"Capture1" is a screenshot of what it looks like when I sign onto my checking account at my local bank. There's no actual data on the screen, it's "disappeared". This is how it has been for several months now, well, since I upgraded to IE 11 IIRC. And before, I would hit F12, the box at the bottom that you see showing up in this image would show up, I would switch the choice from "Edge" to "10" and voila, the page would reload, and my data would be viewable. This affects not just this checking account, but several of my important sites that I use to pay bills on. I would hit F12, switch to "10" and all was good.

"Capture2' shows what has started happening tonight. After switching the mode from "Edge" to "10", instead of the screen reloading and showing my data, the box at the bottom suddenly switches to "Debugger Mode" and a big "PAUSE" button blocks out my screen.

And nothing I do seems to help. So I am back where I was months ago when this first surfaced, I can't access a lot of my important sites.

Hmm...so the option you had with using F12 shows but it is not having the same affect it did before. You can try going to Tools>Compatibility View settings to add the website address that is not displaying all the content, then check to see if it works after that. Here is a link that shows how to do it step by step:

Thank you.

But no, that did nothing. Exact same results.

Maybe some settings got changed in your internet explorer and that is why things aren't working like they are supposed to, try to reset your internet explorer to default settings. Here is are the instructions:

- On IE go to the Tools > Internet options and then click the Advanced tab.
- click Reset

After that try using compatibility view settings or using F12 to change the mode to IE 10.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

That did the trick. It was on the second option, I changed it to the first one, closed IE, re-opened it, signed back in, and this time when I changed from "Edge" to "10" on document mode, it did what's it been doing, reloaded the page and all the data was showing up. Of course the data in this case was rather depressing (my bank balance in this checking account) but at least it's showing up again.

Can I interest you in a game from Steam??? What sorts of games do you like??? I could PM with a list or you could tell me a genre and we could go from there. I have over 100 Steam codes with no home. Changing the selection to get it to ignore errors did the trick.

THANK YOU very much for trying as well. May I also gift you a Steam code?? Would you like a list or tell me a genre???

Nicely done madth3, you found the root of the problem. Good to know Document mode IE 10 is working normally for OFG as it is supposed to. :) Thanks a lot for the offer OFG but there is no need, helping out with these issues actually adds to my awareness of it which is very useful knowledge for me. :)

I don't see any info on here that would be bad to show, other than maybe the last 4 of my account number, which I blacked out. And I don't care about the balance since I've already made it public knowledge I'm poor folk, but I wanted to show the screenshot to show what I was trying to explain (and don't do very well).

If you look at Capture1 in the above post, this is what happens when I sign in. The screen is "blank" except for the bank info at top and some other generic info at the bottom.

So I would hit F12, and "Edge" is the default document mode. I would switch to "10" and then voila, the screen reloads and looks like it does in this new screen shot (Capture3).

I don't know why it's been doing this, but it's been doing it for some months now. And it's more than one of my bank accounts and credit card accounts. In fact, the ONLY time I've had this "issue" is with secure sights, I've never noticed it (that I remember) on an "unsecure" site (meaning I didn't have to sign in with login and password info).

Anyway, thanks again for the help. Really really appreciated.

Good!

Some of the projects I do are in web development and dealing with IE is a source of headaches sometimes. At least today it has been useful.
You've already given me Hexcells Plus. (Fun game!) so we're cool.

Edit: And it's not like you had to give me anything in any case. I just meant that I sort of owed you one before and so you know that people remembers your gifts. :-)
