Possibly it's just my browser. But I have a practically brand-new Dell computer with Vista Home Premium OS plus all the required updates, an excellent anti-malware program with all required updates. I have 3 GB of RAM and more than 300 GB of HD space. So I somehow don't think it's my machine.
It's probably not you computer, but your ISP could be experiencing technical difficulties. I haven't had any problems accessing this site.

Hi Keith
This forum of yours was certainly a very good idea, and by complete coincedence I have another question.
When I go to the start menu of my computer in order to select the internet option (firefox) it takes between 5 and 8 minutes for the Internet screen to appear. Why is this the case and is there any way of speeding this sequence up. Incidentally it was equally as long when I used IE.
Thanks.

Also check your computer for spyware. I was amazed how much faster my computer ran after I used SpyBot and SpywareBlaster.

I don't want to tell anybody what browser to use. I just tell people what works for me and what seems to be less "buggy" for me. That being said I have been using IE 7 on occasion and find that it still has a few bugs in it that are really getting annoying. One being that it seems to want to lock up and I have to end the program using the task manager. When I do that, if I have other IE 7 windows open it closes all them as well. So I just keep chugging along with Firefox and don't get those odd problems that IE seems to always come up with.[snapback]37500[/snapback]
Viper,
Check your add-ons. I too, had problems at first with IE 7 locking up. I disabled some of the offending add-ons and its worked just fine for me ever since. Apparently, some external add-ons that worked with IE 6 are not compatible with IE 7.

Hi Sxiper and Kevin
Thanks for alerting me to 'firefox' it seems to be quite a good browser and it has solved my logging out problem.
Incidentally how can I set dukewayne.com as my homepage using 'firefox', I used to m
be able to do it via internet options within the control panel of Windows but this does not work anymore.
Thanks again.

Robbie,
If you want to use Internet Explorer, you should update to the new Internet Explorer 7 that was just released a couple weeks ago. It's very similar to Firefox.
I too had some problems with the old Internet Explorer 6 not working correctly. The update appears to have fixed everything.
