ok,

im having problems with my hotmail and facebook pages, im able to login to facebook fine but my homepage just loads the userbar (account, home, profile etc) and everything else is blank. hotmail on the other hand does not even load the login page it just comes up blank, both indicate 'done' on the bottom of the screen. iv deleted my cookies but have no clue what do do next, any help will be greatly appreciated

do other pages load?
is there a firewall, adblocker etc?

umhum, sgw and all forms of forum are loading fine

hmmm u may need to explain to me how to check for these, im not fantastic with laptops/comps

are you using internet explorer, firefox or chrome?
try using a different one

its quite difficult to know whether a firewall or adblocker is being used unless you get told/set it up yourself

im using internet explorer, downloaded firefox and it said there wer problems or something, i wasnt able to download chrome, kept clicking 'accept and download' but nothing happened

SUCCESS!

many thanks astarael!

this can be closed

what was the cause and the solution?

seems it was my browser, although i had tried to download firefox and chrome myself and was unable for some reason. astarael told me to download CCleaner which also installed chrome as my default browser and hey presto!

lolcat is my friend

make sure, you have lots of free space in the c drive or your windows drive,
if not, use the disk cleanup utility and free up some space.
*you can clean the system restore files too
then
for best performance, try

advanced system care pro and smart defrag (iobit)
*enable auto defrag in smart defrag
*advanced system care increases overall performance.
*run a scan atleast once before going to next step.

Best browser is mozilla firefox.
So install firefox.
(if you want to remove unused programs, go to control panel, programs and files, and remove them)
*google chrome can be uninstalled too, if you love firefox.

To speedup your internet,
right click my computer, manage,. A window pops up
select 'devices and others'
find ports-communication ports
Open its settings, and increase the port speed(default is 9600)
set to highest value.
Reconnect internet.

Any questions?

Opera is where it's at.

(but really, as long as someone isn't using IE, then I don't care. and even if they are, it's not my computer, not my problem. lol)

Firefox = fail
IE 9 = fail
Opera=fail

CHROME = Epic Win

lol, from what I've heard, IE 8 was better than Chrome, at least for a long while...

maybe still is...
