|
Answer» Hi again everyone. Step 1 of 8:But when I go to the control panel> system properties> performance: It says Quote 255MB of RAMI may not have got that second quote exactly right because I couln't get it to copy / paste. I installed Memory 128MB 1 Pc. SDRAM DIMM PC 100 MEEM525128MB 59.95 Is that not RAM memory? I'll quit right here because I really don't know much about computers and you all probably already know what my problem is. I'll post more info if you need it. Please keep instructions as simple as you can for me if possible. Thanks for the help in advance and for in the PAST too. Mike I don't think these much of detalis are required. Its a general thing with IE. Sometimes you have to delete the temp. internet files.TRY reducing your temp file size & history duration. Mine are set to 10MBs and 1 day.Won't reducing the temp size have any effect on performance.Every page I click on is new so there is no point in having IE searching the cache for old stuff.Yup, But it may find the pictures and some flash content there. As these are quite common and we frequently revisit some pages like mails.Sorry about all the info posted. I had know idea what info might be needed. I am constantly deleting temp files in order to get it to continue browsing. By constantly, I mean from about once an hour to as often as once about every 10 minutes. I set the value for 1 day in that box for "history duration" and it still does the same. As I already mentioned file size is set to 97MB. There is another option in that window that allows settings for {"check for newer versions of stored pages every:"} I have tried that setting at: "never", "every visit to that page", "every time Internet explorer starts", and "automatically". All 4 settings seem to have no effect on the browsing issue I have. I also have a "temp files" in the BellSouth accelerator program I'm currently using and it is set at 20MB and I don't see an option to set duration. I usually delete those temp files manually at least every other day. But I had this same issue before installing that accelerator program. One more thing: This problem is intermittant and I suspected a possible connection issue. But I had the telephone lines to box outside checked again yesterday by a BellSouth technician for the 3rd time in the last 2 years. I have used 3 different sets of wiring from that box to my modem plug-in and this is the 2nd modem i've used in this computer. All with similar results concerning this issue. Sorry about the long post again. And thanks again!!!BTW: I posted the previuos reply today. Tonight when I veiwed this thread, my last post was not shown. That is what happens when I select the "never" option in the temp files window. It seems to do fine set at "automatic. Isn't this type of browsing funtion the point of that section of the temp files window that allows the {"search for new versions of stored pages."} function? :-? Is that the type of funtion that what you were refering to vibhor_agarwalin Posted on: Yesterday at 1:25am Quote Yup,?BTW: Would this subject be better PLACED by posting in the IE section, although I posted in this section since I suspected a 'RAM' problem to be the culprit, but I don't know, yet. I have another post to make in that section and will included a link to this thread as well. Thanks again! Sorry about digging up this old stuff, but I haven't used this PC online in several months so, of course, this problem went away. But I now have the affected PC back on-line and this same browser hesitation problem is worse than ever. I have watched my 'system monitor' values to try to find the culprit but with no luck. Thanks for any new ideas!!! You can test your RAM with a free download at www.memtest86.com THat will rule that in or out as a suspect. I think you should set all of you IE settings to default and try again. 1. Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Internet Options 5. Security tab 6. Reset all 4 security zones to Default 1. Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Internet Options 5. Privacy 6. Restore 1 Default button 1. Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Internet Options 5. Advanced 6. Restore 1 Default button You may need to do the following as well 1. Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Internet Options 5. General tab 6. Remove cookies, temporary files and history [highlight]Kudos to Raptor[/highlight]. What are you using for virus and spyware protection? It's best to just stick to one post to cover all issues as the Forum is not that big.

I'll keep trying. Quote I think you should set all of you IE settings to default and try again.Done, and it seems to help a bit, but the hesitation still exist, but not as consistantly Quote [highlight]Kudos to Raptor[/highlight].:-? Again, please forgive me for my ignorance. Quote What are you using for virus and spyware protection?I am using an expired version of Norton Internet Security, {most of my last year was spent in the hospital and paying medical crap rather than working, so upgrading the Norton is not an option at this time.} I was planning to download a free version of AVG later tonight so I will have some protection. As I mentioned, I'll keep trying to figure out the memtest86-3.1a.iso file and I'll post the results when done. Thanks for the help GX1_Man !!! Do you have Nero , or something else to burn the ISO file to a CD? You cannot just copy it over. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+create+iso Be sure to uninstall Norton before loading another antivirus. AVG will work just fine. |
