Smithy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Site has frozen on me a couple of times in the past week or so and then freezes any other tabs I have open at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog8811 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 This freezing malarky has been going on since MS did a big update on XP, I finally solved the problem by rolling back my computer (seemed to work on its own for a while...) and then installing firefox. Everything now runs fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have to say that I too have suffered for some time now with this site freezing which has been a real pain when you're halfway posting restoration pics and you loose the lot and have to start over. My PC is fine had it MOT'd tother day hope it gets sorted sooon. Cheers RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toolman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Arte those having problems using IE? if so switch to Firefox, Chrome etc.. Yes, won't work in ie properly. Was using ie 8 (I like the separate search bar), same on my work and home PC, kept crashing. Upgraded to ie 9 yesterday, still the same. Could it be the adverts? I don't actually like chrome..... in fact I don't really like change :-) MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritineye Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 When you download and install Firefox there is the option to import your favorites from other browsers, they want it to be as seamless as possible for those who move. Give it a try, you can alway go back to IE at any time, it will still be there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGREDONE Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thought it was only me but when viewing HMVF site my screen keeps freezing and "not responding", not all the time I hasten to add. Been going on a few days so getting fed up now. I am using IE. Why is this happening? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdx10 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I've found that the problems seem to happen when a page on here is loading ads from certain URL's , I am using IE8 and XP , using Firefox on the site the same problem doesn't occur . You can run two browsers side by side so I run IE8 and Firefox but as an aside I seem to have sorted the problem I have on here tonight by disabling error reporting , this was the dumprep in task manager which was hogging the resources on my pc and causing IE to hang. Edited June 29, 2012 by rdx10 too much info :oP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 For those that still want to keep IE you can have more than one browser on your computer.. download Firefox & use that for the forum.. you can have Firefox & IE open at the same time too.. Download here http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdx10 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 since disabling error reporting I've not had the same problems with the site when using IE8 , took me probably less than a minute to do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I run two different browsers on my laptop Chrome and IE, I tend to use Chrome more but IE has some advantages in that it will save logging in details for a site that Chrome won't. You could use Firefox or Chrome just for HMVF, save the blood boiling moments for the things that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
