Post by: VicReaper on August 27, 2007, 10:16:44 PM

Well i have Windows Vista for a Acer Laptop 80Gb...And well there are certain links i can't access..Meaning oh say 2 weeks ago i was able to click a "Forum" link to get to a certain game forum or help forum now when i click it all i can see is That hand icon when clicking on something and then it just freezes and a message pops up saying "Internet has stop working" Or something like that or it isn't working correctly. And well i can't click on confirmation links and stuff like that..And it's a big nusance because i can't click on anything anymore and access that page...Anyone know what i'm talking about or is this utterly abnormal to any of you?
If anyone can help i really appreciate it. Thanks in Advance :)

More information on your system would help a lot.
Version of windows you're using.
What browser you're using.
The precise error message you're getting and on what pages you get it.
What protection programs you have installed. (anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.)

Hmmm....I'm using Vista, broswer well don't know =P
Hmm...I have norton.
The precise error message is, "Internet has stop working" (After a few secs.) "Internet is now restarting" basiclly, it restarts everytime i click on some sort of link. But not all, mainly like advertise websites, some forums, Stuff like that. I was reccomended to delete temporary internet files, and have but no use.
Now, i don't know what to do. And i need to click on an importan link and can't cause EVERY time it stops working. Any ideas?

There is still alot of info missing so you are reducing this to guesswork...not good if a quick solution is needed.
Does Norton include a firewall and have you checked it to see if it's blocking it ?
Vista is not a browser so you are probably using IE7...have you checked it's settings ? ?
How do you connect to the web ? ?
Is the laptop wired or wireless ? ?
I could go on but you get the idea...
