right my internets proper screwed up

the fault it times out

boot up pc, click on ie icon, the page just loads for about 1min, then say s unable to display page? as soon as you click a favorite it pops up ok

then after a bout 5mins, of brousing it hangs, then says unable to display page, click back the page loads instantly, the carry on brousing for 5mins ish then the same crap again!!!

was running ie7, just uninstaled it back to 6, still the same, have pluged my modem dirrectly into the pc now, syill the same.

i dont think its the ntl connection, as ie 6 and 7 run fine on the same conection via my wifi router?

any ideas, help please

 

When did it happen? When was the last time it was working fine? What have you installed since it was last working fine?

My advice? Do a System Restore back to the day before it began going tits up. so if you know it was working fine yesterday, then do a Sys Restore to Friday....

 

about a month ago, i think, just aint had the time to sort it?

so dont really know exactly when?

oh and wheres system resore?

 

If you have passionford as your home page, that would explain it

 

START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > System Restore

 

Install firefox and avoid using IE as its a pile of dog shite!

 

Also might be worth trying firefox browser, its better than I.E6/7

 

cant get my head round firefox! but did try that and it has the same issues?

 

system restore it is then

 

hmmm - have to got internet options set to dial a default connection ?

If you have as soon as it gets tiny internet issue it will try and dial out on another connection and may even bring up a dialup dialog. When this fails it may put your internet into offline mode and then fuck you....

 

Funny cos I have never had any issues with IE

I prefer IE7 over Firefox.... I agree FF is better than IE6, but IE7, IMO, is better than FF - looks nicer, I prefer it's operation and navigation....

 

I live and preach Microsoft technologies, however I can tell you that IE under the hood is a complete and utter pile of shite not forgetting the huge security issues it will always have due to it being so integrated into the OS.

Hence why I would always recommend firefox (or even opera). If I was ever in charge of the IT for a company I would actually ban the use of IE..piece of shite!

 

connections is greyed out, but set at never dial a connection.

dont get any dial up dialog?



just system restored it to 5th august, still the same, will go back to march to be sure, as i deffently didnt have it in june/july

 

i had this prob i changed to firefox and and no more probs

 

That sounds all good. Sure its not an NTL issue...?

 

asfarback as it will go 2nd july still the same

not an ntl problem, as my laptop via the same connection works fine

 

Dannn - that maybe true, but I still haven't had a problem with IE, bar one issue a few years ago running IE6 where I had a BHO install itself and hijack my browser. That did fuck my system and needed a reinstall..... But since then, with the proper care and security installation I haven't, touch wood, had a problem, and have been running IE7 for a good while now (year or so?) since it came out of BETA into a full release....

Suits me fine and I've grown accustomed to it now

 

back up, have now run a virus scan and spy ware, all clean???

still the same

 

Just goes to show - should always tackle a problem when it arises and not months later

Not a lot else you can do really Fil - you could try using your windows CD to repair it, but you could end up reinstalling and lose everything......

 

sounds like you just can't connect
have you tried checking the connections?
broke the locking clip on mine and it would do the same as you describe as it wasn't hooking up

 

Thrush at first thought it was a ntl issue, and then no real time to sit and sort it out

plugs all ok on the pc dojj
