Fix for “Internet explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer”

Many users face issue running Oracle forms on Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) which causes the page to redirect to following url

res://ieframe.dll/acr_depnx_error.htm#<domain>,http://<server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=<config>

It displays following error.

Internet explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer

A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage.

 

Solution:

Please note that by implementing this solution although this specific problem would be resolved, however you must understand that this IE feature is enabled by default for securing your computer and removing this may expose to vulnerabilities so kindly understand the risk before making this change. However you can always revert to original settings.

Goto Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Scroll down to Security -> Uncheck “Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks*”

Close all browser windows and restart the browser. The issue should have been fixed 🙂

Edit: Alternatively you can use either of following 2 alternate solutions.

Alternate 2:

Open registry using start->Run->regedit->ok

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain

On the right hand side you will see a DWORD key called DEPOff. IF this is set to value 0, just change it to 1 and close registry editor.

Restart Internet Explorer and check if the problem has been fixed or not.

Alternate 3:

Right click on My Computer->Properties (or start->Run->sysdm.cpl->ok)

Click on “Advanced” Tab. Click on “Settings” button next to Performance.

Click on last tab “Data Execution Prevention

Select Second option and then select “Internet Explorer” from the bottom pan.

(If “Internet Explorer” is not already present there then just click on “Add” and then select “c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe”)

Click OK and restart internet explorer. The problem should have been fixed.

vi commands quick reference

Unix vi commands quick reference

General Notes:
1. Before practicing using this vi tutorial, type the following command followed by a   carriage return: :set showmode
2. vi is not VI. It is case sensitive!!! So make sure Caps Lock is OFF.

Requirements:

In order to work correctly the vi need correct terminal type (TERM) setting. The TERM setting depends on the type of terminal you have. Commonly used TERM types are vt100, vt220 and ANSI.  In most cases vt100 will work fine. In case vi is not able to understand the TERM you have given, it starts in open mode giving you a line by line display. Generally TERM is taken from .profile or /etc/profile, but can be set at the command line as:

$TERM=vt100

$export TERM

echo $TERM will display the current TERM set.
