Internet explorer problems

[Guest Brumagem Phil]

Bit odd. If you are being prompted to log in again, it is likely that the website is failing to keep track of your session. Often, the way that websites maintain session information is through cookies in the browser, hence me wondering whether they had been turned off.

 

On this page, do tools/page info then go to security and then cookies. Can you see lots of cookies for anglers net?

 

Yep, loads of em.

 

It seems to have resolved itself again and all is well but I just know this is going to be an ongoing intermittent problem.

 

Doesn't happen on the wired PC downstairs, just the lappy on wifi. Only a recent problem too, I've never suffered with this before.

 

The wifi isn't secure though (need to do that really) but don't think that is an issue.

 

I have recently been getting an error telling me a service has stopped and the internet goes dead slow till i've rebooted the browser. It doesn't say which service though and it doesn't tally with when this problem occurs although its possible they are linked I guess. Today, sometime after all the problems started I did get a message telling me DNS client service had stopped but when I checked the services it was reported as running with an auto start.

 

I'm wondering if an update has messed something up. The machine did install IE8 (i think) the other day.

 

All very odd.

"...check it when the kids are not on it later..."

 

There's your problem!

 

My eleven year old daughter can hit the OK box on warning pop-ups faster than I can read them

 

She won't be getting an account on my new laptop. The desktop can continue degenerating into a mass of adware and junk!

I'm having problems with Firefox at the moment too.

 

Pages that used to load with no problem keep coming up with a message to say that I need to have Javascript enabled in my browser....but it is enabled, with all the boxes ticked. I have to switch to IE to view the pages.

 

Any ideas anyone?

If you still have "NoScript" running on Firefox you do sometimes have to allow pages, right click anywhere on the page and set up accordingly.
