Posted April 19, 2008 For the last while, when I have tried to see any videos on Gametrailers or Sky Sports News, I have not been able to view them (the Video Player will not even show..) and, on N-Europe even, I have been unable to see a lot of peoples avatars/signatures. I'm getting very frustrated as I can;t understand what is doing this.. Can anybody please help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2008 If you tell us what your operating system is, browser and anti-virus package are too, it may be of help to us. EDIT: And ISP, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windows XP Internet Explorer 6 (My Dad had problems viewing some of his sites with IE7) Norton Antivirus (though I do not have the latest, it is expired) Orange (previously Freeserve/Wanadoo) I have done scans with Norton and AdAware many times in the last few weeks, but they wouldn't pick up anything..

Posted April 19, 2008 oh god why do people use norton. Or IE6. Although this points to virus I'm going to go with a house theory and blame your ISP or router. Do the pages load quickly in general? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do.. maybe I'll try FireFox and see if things load there.. A weird thing which also happens sometimes is that all of a sudden, my broweser won't load anything and then about 30 IE windows will open, which surely is some sort of virus? I'm contemplating returning to factory settings just to clear my computer out and start with a clean slate.. EDIT: No luck with Firefox either.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2008 Welcome to hell. Thank IE6 for it, and tell your dad that if hios sites don't work in IE7, they're probably not good anyway since they are made for Microsoft standards, wich doesn't even ensure that it works in the next version of Microsoft apps. Get your ass on a reinstall, or a good anti-virus. Try AVG free Edition - it performs scans and secures your system for free, and it's even better than Norton (or Microsofts own OneCare).
