Takes forever to open certain page...
      #313950 - Sun Nov 05 2006 10:35 AM

Hi folks,

These may be a similar problem to what Terry mentioned in another post.
My problem is with www.bbc.co.uk it either takes forever or doesnīt open at all. I go to google type in BBC world news and then go for the first option it mentions ...default after the address...Iīm wondering if thatīs the problem.
Any ideas????

Thanks

Annie

The site loads up quite fast for me. Have you tried deleting your Temporary Internet Files either by going to Tools>Internet Options on Internet Explorer or by running Disk Cleanup? Also, you could scan your PC for spyware and get rid of anything that's found.

Glad to hear you've got it sorted. Just remember to keep your anti-spyware programs up to date and scan regularly - at least once a week!

You're welcome. Keeping unnecessary files and spyware off your PC can save you a lot of trouble!
