Problem with Browser redirecting or is it?

balloo_2

My Computer has developed a problem what happens is for example on ebay purchases i can buy an item but it goes to pay but when it asks me to confirm nothing displays so i do not know if i have confirmed or not no picture displays. I have tried to refresh but nothing happens and i cant continue. another example is ebay again when there is an item for sale with multiple pictures with different angles i cant get the other pictures to display. I am assuming it is something wrong with my Browser but i have not got a foggiest idea any help please if you have please share with me

Please try and help me I think this is the only place i can get help. On ebay i cant click on the box where it says to write your question so i cant write anything to the communities there i have even tried installing IE8 to see if that will fix the problem but no it doesnt. and as i am a total dumbo on computers i am knackered.

Help us help you balloo, which version of windows (I guess xp) since you say you have tried installing IE8, what were you using before hand (browser wise).

I am useing XP and IE7 was my old one. i have just had a thought (wow) i read somewhere someone else had a simular problem with their laptop running Windows 7 and they were useing Avast like me, so i was thinking would Avasts upgrades have anything to do with it the problem started on my PC after i installed the upgrade for Avast. when i log on in MSE i get the thank you for logging in but it wont redirect here either i have to click seperate redirect so i can log in to type. i am trying to give you as much info as i can so maybe you will be able to give me some help.

It sounds to me like Internet Explorer is blocking scripts from running.

Try using a different browser eg Firefox, Chrome, Opera.

http://www.google.co.uk/chrome

http://www.opera.com/

I use Avast on laptops with XP and 7 and don't have any problems.

Try reseting your IE , either using Microsoft Fixit http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9646978 or

Could be anything which you will only sort out by a process of elimination.

However it's interesting that you are using Avast because I also started having various issues after updating to version 7 and if you search G**gle you will find that that there have been a number of problems reported with this latest version.

Since uninstalling Avast (regrettably, as I have been a big fan for several years) I've had no further problems and if I do decide on a re-install I will give it a few weeks until they have ironed out some of the apparent bugs.

Anyway try replacing it with another a/v to see if that helps and if not, well you can easily put it back on again.

Thank you all for the advice you gave much appreciated.

Hi debitcardmayhem I tried what you suggested the first one http://go.microsoft would not display but the support i did and reset IE but nothing still the same problems. I dont want you or anyone else to take this the wrong way and think i am having a go at you, i am just reporting back to you so maybe we can try something else. I am a master at saying the wrong things to people when I think i am saying the write things.

Hi coopdivi right tried to install firefox no download download butten depresses but download does not start. The same with Google Chrome. but Opera did download and my computer seems to be back to its old self. thank you but not sure about Opera never heard of it before so maybe this info will help you techie cleverdicks to work out what the problem was.

Ok people Now i know that IE was duff I downloaded Google chrome from Opera no problems at all the only thing that did not work properly was this when i was looking through different Google suggestions. it was........... uk.msn.com/#carsslice it froze my computer and eventually a pop up appeared stating "The following Plug-in has crashed: shockwave flash does this mean anything to me is it something i should be addressing.
