    Just This One Website Freezes Up My PC!
    « on: June 11, 2011, 12:56:21 AM »
    One of my favorite websites always freezes up my computer! Other websites do not do this. I've done everything I can think of to fix this problem. I did a complete system recovery. I've ran CCleaner. I've upgraded to IE8 (I have Windows XP and my pc is about 5-6 years old and I can't afford a new one!). I've use PC Tools antivirus to check for the bad stuff and I have 360 Amigo System Speed Up to clean my registry and other junk off my pc. If there's any other things I should try, please let me know. The website that gives me the problem is EarthClinic.com It is not a "flashy" website or anything, so I just don't know what the problem is! PLEASE HELP!  :P

    Registry cleaners/mechanics are not popular or recommended in these forum and they can do more harm than you expect it to fix your problem. So please stay away from these fake softwares or programs.

    What do you mean system recovery? Please explain further. If the only problem is a website on IE8 and not on other websites but want to keep using IE, try these first 2 suggestions:
    1. Right-click your IE8 icon on your desktop and choose "start without addons". Check now your link and post the result.
    2. If first suggestion did not make any difference then close IE8 and relaunch it. Go to Tools, Internet options, Advanced Tab and below is a Reset option for IE.
    There is also a possibility that you are infected, so you might want to update and scan your PC with your resident antivirus plus download and use a free software for malware and spyware called Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.

      By complete system recovery, I mean that I started my pc all the way back to how it came when I got it. I lost some songs and photos (but not all) by doing that, but I was sick and tired of trying!
      I tried to do as you suggested by running Superantispyware, but it made no difference. I also right-clicked on my IE icon, but all that came up was the "Open
                                                                        Run As...
                                                                        Send To
                                                                         """"""""
                                        all the way down to Properties.
      I didn't see the list you mentioned "about add-ons".
      I was worried about trying the Reset option for IE since I'm not sure what all I will lose on my pc. I've already had quite a time dealing with recovering my stuff lost with the system recovery. Of course I had tried System Restore first, but it didn't work. :(
      I'm obviously a pc ignoramus. I wish I could afford to take my pc to an expert, but I truly can't. My mom is sick and I've found a lot of good info on Earth Clinic that I like to use, otherwise I would just say "FORGET IT!"
      Thanks for your trying to help!
      Any further advice I'll appreciate. If you say to still do the Reset option on IE, I will do it!

      Try a different browser like firefox or chrome and see what happens.  You should always have a couple of browsers for when you have problems with a web site.

          It is the problem with IE most of the times, we dont have a secure browsing and encounter some errors most of the times while browsing,. that's why i prefer Firefox.
