Morning all-
Okay, opened up Safari to find this:

Any help?

My Safari3.1.1 looks fine. I am using cnn.com as homepage. But, your problem is worse than not getting into the page, as I don't see any toolbar. If rebooting does nothing, I would uninstall the beast, and, reinstall it.

I already tried that, to no avail.

Did you delete, or took a look at the stuff in Application Data, when you uninstalled Safari?
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
And, almost as much is in: C:\Program Files\Safari. A huge program!

Yes, and there was nothing there that I felt could help me.

I have exactly the same display problem as iJohnE - has anybody solved this problem yet?

only a thought, Do you have QuickTime Player installed and functioning correctly?

Yes, I do have Quicktime installed and functioning. I've also tried uninstalling QuickTime and re-installing Safari without Quicktime - but the same problem occurs i.e. a distorted screen display.

I've recently installed Safari on another of my PCs (similar specs to my previous one and it installs fine). Could this be a graphics card problem? It is an Intel 845GV graphics chip on board on the PC that is causing the problem.

I don't see why one would have Safari installed on a Windows machine. I had it for a while, a couple of months, I used it, ran it as a default for a while. It did nothing for me that I don't already have in FF or SM (or IE, which I do not use).

I only have SM because every so often FF acts up and I can't use it.

I only have two music players, because WMP11 is aces at ripping, syncing and now Amazon's mp3 downloads, while Winamp handles all streaming audio including Live365.

What is the point of redundancy?

Because it is there!

Sorry, I tired it, it did nothing for me, I dumped it.

Same with iTunes. I had that for about four weeks, used it, bought some m4a's, and ultimately, it did not improve my life, so it was gone.

You guys who experiment are uncounted treasures.

I'm having the same issue as iJohnE. Safari was working on my desktop when I first installed it but it just up and did what he described in the original post. I was thinking video card issue myself but nothing else is affected, I even made sure I am using the latest driver for my card which is a Radeon 9600 series. I've uninstalled both Quicktime and Safari and even deleted the Apple folder under Application Data but I am still getting this horrible video output when I open up the browser, even tried the new Beta 4 with same outcome. If anyone can shed light on this, I think we both would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Zip

I never did get it to work. Try Safari 4. I ended up re-installing windows on that machine, but I do not recommend this.

How do you put quotes in by the way? I'm use to <quote></quote> tags but those are not working and I don't see a write up of any kind explaining how to do it...

anyway...

I meant I tried Safari 4 Beta, not Beta 4... sorry ... Reinstalling Windows is not an option, this is a Safari issue I don't care to address if thats the problem, I have no problems with anything else, especially graphics instensive applications.

Thanks.
