Browser Problems

Options
Posting on behalf of lynzpower who hasnt been able to get onto MSE or any other site all day.

She can get on using firefox and IE however with IE after 2minutes it comes up as page cannot be displayed, with firefox it times out her request.
MSE is not the only site she has had problems with and has had frequent page cannot be displayed messages whilst navigating. She is using a copied version of Windows XP. Could this be why it is doing it?

If someone could help she would really appreciate it she is getting withdrawl symptoms due to the lack of MSE! :rotfl:

    is this dialup, BB, wireless?

    https://www.ccleaner.com worth a try, but probably isp or firewall or malware related.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    checked the service status for tesco and no issues there.
    does she use a modem or router to connect?

  • Does she use Outlook Express or similar for email? If so does she still receive emails?

    hi Ive managed to get on for about 30mins so far ( this is progress!)

    Weve ran the ccleaner- and deleted all carp not needed
    deleted a few programs I dont use like yahoo messenger
    im using a modem not a wireless connection

    We dont use Outlook, we use our hotmails

    I am getting a lot of timing out still and on this site lots of xs where the images or buttons should be

    My MSN is working fine

    Quick reply here taking at least 5 mins to load in in some cases?

    :confused:
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • It sounds like your isp, is broadband not an option?
