if i open up the betfair homepage in internet explorer, all i get is the main headings in a big font listed down the left hand side of the screen and it won't let me log in.
if I open up in firefox (like now) I can access the forum almost as normal but everything is deathly slow and the reply window often doesn't open on the first attempt.
and these problems are only with the betfair site. everything else works fine and dandy. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?
I thought it might me a virus as the kids have been at the computer, but I have run combofix and the tests came back negative.
thanks.

I have had the same problem with IE, hence I am using Mozilla which is ok

By:
thanks pumphol. i find it okay for normal browsing of the forum, but mpossible for quizzing. it just freezes up while the 'loading' refresh icon spins around in the top left corner. also, the reply window takes an age to open, or doesn't open at all on the first or second tries.

I had that happen a few days ago...betfair couln't help...went OK the next day very annoying though.
I could log on normally on another laptop with all lthe same settings. Just curious do you use proxies for certain sites? |
|
By:
What's a proxy TM?
|
|
By:
I am now back on IE after clearing the cache and entering via google (thank you Joe). It still took an age for the 'forum' page to load though.
|
|
By:
It just means you are accesing a website via a proxy which hides your IP address.
|
|
By:
oh. no, I wouldn't have a clue how to do that mate.

One thing you could try is go to Tools/internet options/Delete Browsing History.
Before you delete the cookies etc.remove the tick from the top box that says "Preserve Favourites website data".Then delete cookies etc..then try Betfair site again. You should put the tick back in that box again later if you want certain websites to remember you when you clear cookies in the future. |

By:
thanks TM. I have done all that and IE is now working. it is still deathly slow though, but useable. thanks for your advice.

further info for you if you are deathly slow you DO have an ad-aware type prog on to stop spyware don't you ?? that grinds it to a halyt eventually if you don't :-( |

AVG is Anti Virus (GRISOFT) ..=AVG SPY WARE IS a different thing |
|
By:
oh, well i don't then. but the combofix run yesterday would have removed any spyware if there was any, but there wasn't.
i hardly visit any sites to pick up any though. |
|
By:
i thoought AVG said it stopped viruse AND spyware though. are you sure it doesn't?
|
|
By:
Bin IE...and try Firefox...much faster for googling I find.

If your hard drive is totally fragmented with files it can slow your
access time but if the other websites are fine then that might not be an issue. Thats under All Programmes/Accessories/System Tools /Disc Defragmenter. |
|
By:
they are different
1)...Anti virus stops Trojans + viruses bast**ds put on the net to ruin peoples pc's.. 2)...spyware is put on to SPY on you ...keystrokes ...where you shop....passwords , etc ..it slows + eventually STOPs your pc from having room to work ..it uses memory each one put on you .. you need Ad-aware from Lavasoft for that the FREE version some recc spybot also Free . AVG = Anti Virus Grisoft...which just does Number 1 ... you sound like you have Number 2 on your pc ...hence the slowness of it .. |

ah right. i must look into that tomorrow then. thanks for all your help everyone i must go now.
bye! |
