Class One Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Try clearing your cache of cookies and temp internet files then see how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymark Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Sounds like the same problem I was getting. Damanc advised me to try Firefox instead of windows which has done the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what you are getting then it was the same as me. Firefox is another server which from what I have been told and from what I have found is much better. Here is a link to the site to down load, or if it is already on your computer I guess you just need to change your settings to run off it?

Guest Jc` Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just to correct something said there, Firefox isnt actually a server. Firefox is just (in my opinion) a better version of Internet Explorer. Comes with a built-in popup blocker and loads more stuff, doesnt crash like Internet Explorer either! Firefox is just a different web browser, open it and you'll see it has a similar layout to Internet Explorer but wont give you stupid problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
