Answer» I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am getting desperate. About a week ago, this one site which I have always acessed from this computer started acting funny. It would let me on the forum, but as soon as I click a specific thread, it freezes as soon as the page loads. I haven't changed anything on my computer; it just randomly stopped working. Every other site loads fine, and that specific site loads from my downstairs computer (with the same internet connection) and other peoples houses, just not MY computer. Any idea WHATS WRONG? The site is http://idolforums.com .Is it only this one site? What happened before this started? What version of IE and Windows are you using?

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am getting desperate.

About a week ago, this one site which I have always acessed from this computer started acting funny. It would let me on the forum, but as soon as I click a specific thread, it freezes as soon as the page loads. I haven't changed anything on my computer; it just randomly stopped working. Every other site loads fine, and that specific site loads from my downstairs computer (with the same internet connection) and other peoples houses, just not MY computer.

lol no no. I still acess them daily from my downstairs computer. And I can get onto the forums... it's just that when I click on individual threads, the screen freezes as soon as they load.

I don't think so. Is there a way to check for that?

I have a simple pop-up blocker, but I've had it for ages and the forum used to work with it intact. I'll disable it and see what happens. Click on Security settings in Control Panel...Wait a second...so, you don't have any protection? Download AVG Free, update it, and scan with it in Safe Mode. Let us KNOW what the results are.
