Fucked PC Right a need to find out whats wrong with this PC as its the newest one in the house yet causes the most shit ?!? At first i thought it was the Firewall, i have turned that off at times and the problem still comes up Basically i am on the net, i look thru say the board pages and type in a new web address at the top and all of a sudden the page will stay on the one i am on and the message : "The operation has timed out whilst trying to connect too (web address here)" I then cant access anything at all and have to re-start the PC to get to anywhere i was and also the sign back into Msn Messenger - its a right fanny on as well when someones using Ebay and this happens Currently i am using : AVG Free Anti Virus Sygate Firewall Pop Up Stopper Pro Firefox Has anyone heard of this before, can anyone shed any light on this as well ?!?! I have about 20GB of music on here, i check for viruses every day as well wi there being so much music on here but to be fair with a 200GB HD having what i have shouldnt be a problem. Its really starting to piss me off cos happens up to 10 times a night leading to all the piss farting about Cheers folks
Try removing pop-up stopper, it's not necessary with Firefox (FF blocks pop-ups). What site(s) is it that you're trying to access when it pops up with the "The operation has timed out..." thingy?
It can be any site basically, i will delete the pop up stopper anyways but i cant see it being the problem I could go to go back to the main menu for instance on the promise board after reading a thread and it will pause then that cunting messsage appears or say i was on NUFC.com and went to BBC.co.uk then it will freeze on the one i am on, say that message then wont let me on owt else
Hmm.... summinck to try, may not work though, but worth a shot: Open a new tab in firefox, type "about:config" (no quotes) in the address bar and hit enter, then scroll down to a value called 'browser.xul.error_pages.enabled', right-click on it and select 'toggle', so that the value changes to 'true', then close the tab, re-start the browser, and see what happens.
Same old same old What the fuck could it be, its hardlys riddled to death and there's plenty on it to find summit Back to the drawing board....
Did you still get the pop-up though? One other thing, are you using Firefox 1.0.3? If not, you'll probs see a little circle with an arrow at the top-right of the browser, click it to download the newest version, that may help...
Ave just installed the latest one now, cheers for the help so far. See how it goes, if its none of these then fuck knows - it shouldnt dis-connect me from the net as such really all the time for fuck all cos the PC's running fine and even when i had the old one i never had any problems like this and even thats due in the natural history book
Your internet connection is probably fucked? If theres no viruses or anything like that and its just a connection then it suggests your modem keeps loosing the connection.
Gonna see how it goes, cheers mate Pisses me off cos wi old PC granted it was shite there wasnt any probs wi the net and that
