kosmic Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi peeps, the laptop i am using (which ive had for 3-4 months) has slowed down loading some web pages and on others almost where it wont load the whole page....its getting so f******g annoying. My desktop is fine, works perfectly on the same hub and loads everything and anything superquick but this laptop will take forever to load pages like ebay,findaproperty etc and ive gotta keep hitting refresh until it loads properly - its driving me insane!! only 50% of webpages load without issue. Ive tried various antispyware/anti virus applications and still have the same problem. Im not technically minded when it comes to computers so if anyone could point me in the right direction or tell me how to make my laptop run normal again and load pages faster!! thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmic Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 How quick is it when you access: http://89.234.29.51 took around 15-20 secs to fully load that page, within that site when i open links/pop up pictures they take forever to load,in some cases as long as 20-30mins!!

DamanC Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 So its the same as when you use the findapropery.com then. Have you tried dissabling your AV/firewall for a short period of time and trying? What happens when you laptop is on the network at the same time as the other machines and you are browing via the other machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive tried it without any firewalls or av running and its still the same, makes no difference with the other machines off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommygun Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi Kosmic You may have a load of clutter on your system both in FF and IE. Which can slow down and even stall loading times. Also when your using the laptop is anybody else in the house using the net ? Try giving your system a clean first using this free software. http://www.ccleaner.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Its the laptop on the network at the same time as the others whilst using one of the others that im interested in XP? if so, go to START > Right click MY NETWORK PLACES then left click PROPERTIES. Double left click on the network connection you use to access your network. Monitor the sent and recieved packets. Close all the programs that you think use the internet, what is the activity now?

Pot Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ah, if you're on Vista, have you got all of the updates? As my Desktop had loads of hassle with wireless which buggered everything up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
