WebTech dead?
What's up with the Hyundai Service Site? I can get to the welcome page at
http://www.hmaservice.com./ but that's about it for useful information. The
"WebTech" link appears to be dead! If they've pulled support on this one,
where can I find a useful tech reference?
I've got a 2002 Elantra GT, and it's close to timing belt time.... wanted to
see if there might be any "gotchas" associated with doing it myself. I know
that if they didn't put the motor mount through the center of the belt, life
would be simple...
Any ideas? info?

Hmmm... I finally got a note - -only works with IE. I went back to IE, got
to the site. Then it says to pick a selection from above.... all that is
above is a white box... COOL!
One step closer, but still no info...

Re: WebTech dead?
The "default" page is the page I was on. Still no change. Do I need to
enable a different scripting option or something? I haven't had any
problems like this with any other sites that I can remember....
I appreciate the try, but it looks like that's where I was to begin with....
At first, I was using Mozilla FireFox, but i finally got a message that I
needed at least IE Version 4.2. I am now running Version 6.029.... SP2
installed. Still no options to choose from..

Re: WebTech dead?
I had same problem, but figured out the fix. You are probably running a
firewall program. When you wish to access the webtech tools, you must
disable the firewall, before you go to the webtech page. After you are
finished restore the firewall. Remember disable wall before you go to
website.....Stanley

Re: WebTech dead?
You got it - thanks! I had turned off pop-up blocker, and that didn't do
it. I have the XP firewall turned off, but have a router with a software
firewall that I really didn't want to mess with, and a hardware fire
wall.... So turning off firewalls put me in a spot.
Turning off the IE pop-up blocker didn't work, and I had already done
that... However, when you mentioned it again, it hit me that I've also got
Norton's pop-up blocker going....
Web site works! Thanks guys for all the help!

It's possible that the problem is the firewall included with SP2. I use
ZoneAlarm and it works fine with Webtech. SP2 also recognized ZoneAlarm
and disabled the standard firewall. Imagine that, Windows playing nice
with a third party security app! Whodathunkit?

It's no surprise that Norton turned out be the issue. I wouldn't run
their stuff on my system if they paid me.

Re: WebTech dead?
Actually, it turned out to be the pop-up blocker, now the firewall. I run
with the XP firewall off to support the home network, but I have a firewall
on the router and a hardware firewall on the modem.
The catch was that, although I had pop-up blocker off on IE, I also had one
in Norton Internet Security.... turned that off and it all started working.

with the XP firewall off to support the home network, but I have a firewall
on the router and a hardware firewall on the modem.
The catch was that, although I had pop-up blocker off on IE, I also had one
in Norton Internet Security.... turned that off and it all started working.

Re: WebTech dead?
Actually, I've had pretty good luck with Norton Internet Security. The
blocker only created a problem because I set it up that way. It only took a
sec to fix it, once I thought about it.
So what do you use?

Norton stuff is crap. In my experience, it creates far more problems
(hogging resources, system slowdowns and freezes, conflicts with other
apps, etc.) than it solves. Since installing ZoneAlarm, I find that I
don't need to keep antivirus software on my system. Between my ISP's
virus scanning of emails, the fact that I removed Outlook and Outlook
Express from my system and use IE VERY rarely, and basic safe computing
practices, viruses are simply not an issue. If I have any concerns, I
run an online virus scanner, but I haven't found a virus yet. My
girlfriend and her housemate run McAfee antivirus and have constant
problems related to them. IMO, Norton and McAfee simply aren't worth the
hassle and definitely aren't worth their exorbitant costs.
