IE Keeps Going Work Offline!

If you haven't enabled the Work offline mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer, but you're still receiving the Work Offline message/IE is going Work Offline mode automatically in behind ,  you're maybe wondering thinking what's happening in behind. There are a few reasons why the preference might have been suddenly enabled. This post will talk you all the way through them and share with you the tips & tricks to resolve the problem. I found a great post from Www.virgindigitalhelp.Co.uk regarding resolution of this problem.


However, to resolve the problem in Windows XP/VISTA/7 follow the instructions provided under each process.

Process – 1: Disabling Work Offline Option

1.  Open Internet Explorer

2. On the File menu, determine whether the Work Offline option is enabled.

Note If this option is enabled, a check mark appears next to Work Offline.

If this option is enabled, go to step 3.

3. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

4. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Connections tab.

5. Make sure that the Never dial a connection option is selected.

6. Click the Advanced tab.

7. Under Browsing, click to clear the Enable offline items to be synchronized on a schedule check box, and then click OK (Windows XP - Only).

You can know more about this from Microsoft Support. Let us move for the second process.

Process – 2: Revising Registry Value

Look in the registry (START >> RUN >> REGEDIT) he following path.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WebCheck

And check that these two String keys are set to auto: "LoadSens"="auto" "LoadLCE"="auto" Create them if you found the values are absent! 

Caution: Making a mistake in editing the registry can cause your system to become unstable and/or unusable.
Wherever possible, use the administrative tools, such as Control Panel or System Policy Editor, to make configuration changes, rather than editing the registry. This is to ensure values are stored properly in the registry when changing the configuration.
If you use Registry Editor to change values, you will not be warned if any entry is incorrect. Editing the registry directly by using Registry Editor can cause errors in loading hardware and software, and can prevent users from being able to start the computer.

Process – 3: Resetting Internet Explorer

Last off all if the problem is still exist then try the following technique once.
To reset the Internet Explorer follow the instructions.

1.        Open Internet Explorer.

2.       Click the Tools button, and then click Intern Options.

3.       Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.

4.       When Internet Explorer finishes restoring the default settings, click Close and then click Ok.

5.       Close Internet Explorer.

The changes will take effect next time when you open the Internet Explorer.

Note: Back up your favorites and bookmarks, if any, before resetting. Copy them to a notepad, for instance.
