pc issues

[briggie]

im having lots of problems again with my laptop , its running really slow , this is despite me clearing history/cookies etc, ive done av scans and always ensure my av is up to date .

my lappy is a advent 5411


its about 2 and a half years old , but still quite high spec

4mb ram

320 gb hard drive

t5750 dual core processor

i have have a supposedly fast internet connection , but it seems to take ages to load web pages ...... if at all , i quite often get the message " internet explorer cannot display the web page " .

im constantly refreshing to try and display web pages , sometimes it works , sometimes not

i suspect i have aquired years of accumulted junk , but removing it is proving difficult , perhaps im wrong d its just my lappy is getting old ?

do you use virgin media for your internet? if so try turning off the modem for 30 seconds, it happens to me from time to time, i just turn off router and modem for 30 seconds then turn back on and all is fine

 

[briggie]

i do that quite often mate , ive even upgraded to ie 9 ....... and its even worse

i dont use internet explorer got too many bugs, why not try firefox or google chrome

favourites on firefox is under bookmarks

 

[briggie]

might be worth resetting your DNS settings again Peter, see if that helps.

We tested this site and didn't find any significant problems.


:augie:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

 

[clivvy]

yeah, Firefox is the way to goPete, id stick with it and get used to it. you can import your favourites from IE anyway if you havent already. I still use IE, but thats because I have to debug problems in the job that I do, so I have to keep up with the problems, rather than ignore them!

Firefox 4 is quite an improvement

Chrome is the quickest still though. On Mac OS X anyhow.
