hi,

well this is what happened: i uninstalled NAV at 1930, installed Avast
instead. I havent run any registry cleaner yet, i'll do that later... but now
i've got a problem

for some reason around 00:00 my IE stopped working. so did firefox. i
thought my internet connection was down, therefore i was surprised to find i
could login to windows live messenger.

no matter what i did, IE or FF wouldn't work. so i restarted the machine
around 0045, and everything went back to normal. then same thing happened at
01:20, so i've restarted and come back here. i dont know how long it's going
to last so i'll type this quickly

i dont know whats happened. IE and FF won't work, it's just stuck, it says
connecting but the green bar takes absolutely ages and hardly moves. yet
strangely, Messenger works. i also turned on bit torrent to see if that would
work, and it was actually downloading normally. its extraordinary, i have no
idea whats going on

if anyone at all can help, please do contribute, i'll be very grateful.
thankyou

IE is in fact quicker than Firefox. I have both so I can compare.



Hi Flight,

I like your confidence, my NAV subscription ran out today so I'll get rid
of
it. But why do you want me to use Windows Washer? Past experience of using
it
resulted in it doing as much damage as good?

Well, you must know what you're doing. I installed the newest version in
Vista and it works marvellous. Be it that you know how to use the settings.
But the results are a much quicker Vista. IE starts within half a second
with four startpages. That says enough I presume.

Maybe the situation returns to normal after you applied Nortons uninstall
tool and rebooted the system.

How to use Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

hi,

well the problem was i had already uninstalled NAV using the Control Panel
("Programs & Features" aka add/remove prog in XP). when i did that NAV's own
un-installer came on screen and removed it

anyway, i already tried re-setting IE and that made no difference. so now
i've installed that Norton removal tool and run it, it took about a minute
only, i presume it removed just bits that NAV left over, but it hasn't helped.

So every hour I have to restart the computer because of IE and FF stopping
working.

what should i do now? anyone who can please help

I applied to be a beta tester in late July or early August and got an
email that I'd been accepted and would get another when everything was
ready for prime time.
