Question about links...
I'm using 98se, updated, with dialup. As of a few daze ago
when I r/c a page link , the puter freezes, and curser is busy, with no data trans. Can't r/c another link on the page but... I can refresh the page and things are back to 98se normal. Prob is intermittent and seems random. No probs for mins. or hour. Or starts again next min; with same results. Tried to do a google with no luck. Any explanations or fixes will be greatly appreciated.... |

You may find this is due to your using dial-up. A phone co. technician told me years ago: 1. Home phone voice lines were never designed to carry digital data at convenient display speeds: it is just good luck that they do. 2. The voice line to your house or mine never remains the same for many months. Physical voice line assignments may be swapped at the phone co. switching office, and are likely to be swapped 3 or 4 times a year for phone co. convenience (I was told years ago . . . ) If your line happens to be of good data quality, and is then swapped for a different line of poor data quality, you have no complaint so long as voice service is not interrupted. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

See 'IE6 download question' on this forum. Problem started after I made updates and patches. Things improved partially after reinstalling parts of IE6 but still aren't what they should be. There are fewer problems if the web pages visited are simple html. With complicated sites like Ebay with active-X and Java they worsen. Have not found the real answer yet. Cornelis Koger |

I'm having a similar problem. http://groups.google.com/group/micro...y+why+&lnk=nl& I am getting SO sick of this.It seems it got worse in the past few days.I/m think about reinstalling windows and see if that helps,but that is a PITA too with all the updates. It was suggested that I update video drivers, but I still can't get that to work. It's getting to where I cant even close a page and it will hang. Tony |
