CA3LE Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Never heard of that... Have you rebooted? does anyone else have a clue?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Never heard of that... Have you rebooted? does anyone else have a clue?!?! That, or try restoring windows to an earlier point, maybe you installed something that messed up your browser, possibly run adaware and spybot, and an antivirus.

Marcin541 Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 I had that happen to me at one time, i dont remember how i got it to go away though. I too recommend firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted November 9, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 I ran Spybot, i did a virus scan. I even reset my browser settings. I download fine using firefox, but that browser runs extreamly slow. It used to run fast, and now it takes for ever to load a page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinlay Posted November 9, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Im running direcway, and i heard Firefox runs slow with direcway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Uhhhhh.......Riiiiiighhhhtt.... Why would it run slow and not IE? I dont know SCREW IT MXC IS ON. Seriously man I dont know? I dont know why it would, the ISP shouldnt have much to do with the browser, Firefox is just a smaller, quicker browser, plus you know safer and no popups or installs.

jsun Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Did you just recently upgrade to SP2? If so that is the cause , I am not sure of a work around....SP2 seems evil on a stale install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 eh sorry to say shug, but FF is slower then ie for many people, including myself But heres some helpful links for this guy to try when he has time to waste. http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp?productid=symhome&langid=ie&venid=sym&close_parent=true&bhcp=1 http://housecall.trendmicro.com http://www.spywareguide.com/txt_onlinescan.html If nothing else, try re-installing the IE6, may help. oh also, theirs avant browser, which is exactly the same as IE6 , but also similar to firefox as well. http://www.avantbrowser.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wmmc Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 Some talk here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/sat I can tell you its the NOC's end, not yours, Firefox and IE 6 are having similar problems. I've been a semi happy satellite user since 1999. Add, I've been plagued with downloading 0bytes(cleared up on its own here) and images/photos larger then 200 k not loading just a red x, both IE6 and Firefox. Nothing you can do except wait for the dumbasses at the NOC get off their fat *** and fix it. OK I feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted November 9, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 My firefox is running fine now after i cleared the cache. I dont have trouble loading pics. This just started like a week ago when i was trying to download a driver. I had to use firefox to download it. Right now im trying to get that error message again. I think it said "not an 32bit app" something like that. That what it says after i downloaded it and click on the icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luwigie Posted November 9, 2004 CID Share Posted November 9, 2004 http://www.williammc.com/pages/firefox_tweak.html Try this, it may help speed up firefox, especially if you are using Direcway. The more concurrent connections that you have with that high latency connection, the faster things will load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
