IE 6.0.2800
(crosspost added to win98 networking)
"Moovet" wrote in message ... Hi. I am hoping someone can help. I am running windows 98 second edition on my laptop 650 GHZ P3 with 256kRAM and 10GB HDD. Whenever I browse with IE, at some stage it will just not be able to load the page and it goes on and on and on. THen if I close the window, it stays on my bottom toolbar for a few minutes then prompts me to end the task. THis happens so regularly that it has taken me 8 attempts to get to writing this post!! I don't understand that last comment, unless you were interacting with the web site somehow during the composing phase? I am hoping there is an easy fix so please help me before I go to the dark side!. It sounds like a communications problem but that OS seems to be totally devoid of diagnostic tools for discovering the nature of it. When this happens can you use other Internet apps? Can you use ping or tracert from a command window? I think it would be useful to know details about your link too. I'm crossposting this to a networking newsgroup for you OS in case those more familiar with it wish to add their ideas. Alternatively since you are posting through a web interface to newsgroups and depending on the portal you are using (URL) you could click on the second newsgroup name which will appear in the header of my message in order to access that newsgroup. Or just find my post for your thread in he http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=us Cheers, G HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- |

IE 6.0.2800
THis happens so regularly that it has taken me 8 attempts to get to writing this post!! I don't understand that last comment, unless you were interacting with the web site somehow during the composing phase? I was meaning that IE became unresponsive at loading the next page about 8 times in a row before I got to this page. I wasn't using OE to access the newsgroups. I was using Tbird. When this happens can you use other Internet apps? Yes, can still check emails I think it would be useful to know details about your link too. Sorry not too sure what you mean about my link? I'm crossposting this to a networking newsgroup for you OS in case those more familiar with it wish to add their ideas. I appreciate your help thank you Robert. Geoff |

I was meaning that IE became unresponsive at loading the next page about 8 times in a row before I got to this page. I wasn't using OE to access the newsgroups. I was using Tbird. Oh, I see. "Get to" means "navigate to". For some reason I was visualizing that the composing phase was being interrupted. I'll echo your other responder then: why not post using a real newsreader, instead of using a web interface? eg In any case, it will also be useful to get more details on your symptoms. E.g. what exactly do you mean by "IE became unresponsive" and how long are you waiting to decide that? Is it only one IE window or the whole task (e.g. in the case that you would have multiple IE windows opened under one iexplore.exe task.) When this happens can you use other Internet apps? Yes, can still check emails Then the networking newsgroup may not be the right target for a cross-post. Still I think it would be useful to get help from someone who has more experience with diagnosing problems in that OS so I'll leave it on. I think it would be useful to know details about your link too. Sorry not too sure what you mean about my link? Link means network interface, e.g. hardware, related software, (firewall? proxy?), etc. Essentially a description of the path that requests take to the remote servers and the responses come back along.
