Major Geeks Not Responding...??

why does this site always "freeze "up? I keep getting the bar @ the bottom that says "not responding recover webpage" then most times when i click on "recover webpage" it shuts down an goes to my homepage??

 

running ie 9 ..........what I gotta do to fix it ?

 

I use Internet Explorer 9.
Open Internet options, under Browsing history, click Delete.
Then click Advanced, click Reset..., and then click Restore advanced settings.
Restart IE whenever prompted during these procedures.

 

I just did that an almost didn't get this post in ,Hope I don't have to do this every time I visit this site!

Are you on Vista or Windows 7? Vista supports up to IE 9 and W7 up to IE 11. If you are on 7, you can upgrade through Windows updates or download from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/Internet-Explorer-11-for-Windows-7-details.aspx

If you are running Vista, you may want to check automatic updates to see if there are any for IE 9 in the list...

I know on XP, IE 8 is beginning to be blackballed by MS sites as no longer supported. Outlook.com doesn't even allow access to e-mail in IE 8. I don't think it's a compatibility issue, though...more like MS' "its time to pay now" routine . IE 9 will be supported through April 11, 2017, the same date support ends for Vista.

 

windows 7 pro no sp1 ie 9 with not many updates (only important ones) don't want to upgrade to anouther ie like 10 or 11 .

 

OK, you will require SP1 to upgrade to IE 11, but it will come automatically through automatic updates as an optional update (if I remember correctly). SP1 is worth the add on if you have drive space. IE 11, not so sure (I don't even open it (Firefox)...all ports blocked in the firewall), but it will be supported through sometime in 2020 (forget the date). Might solve your problem. Here is the link to get started with SP1 if you would like to go that way:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-windows-7-service-pack-1

 

If you use Windows 7 without SP1, you'll be stuck with IE9. Some sites have stopped suporting IE9.

FYI I suggest you use CCleaner to clear IE's temp files, cookies (you can decide wich to keep), history, cache, etc.

 

I use ccleaner a lot ,it pisses me off that it only freezes here !! #$@%^^& (deleated)
guess I'll just have to deal with it !

 

You can just add another browser, Chrome, Firefox, Maxthon, Opera,,, and use it on the sites that IE seems to be having trouble with.

 

This is good advice.
On MajorGeeks.com, I can no longer see Disqus comments because Disqus has stopped supporting IE9. It's really not an issue to use Mozilla Firefox for just 1 or 2 sites.

BTW For me, MajorGeeks Forums work fine in IE9.

 

Kestrel13!,
MajorGeeks.com (http://www.majorgeeks.com/) uses Disqus to allow users to comment on newly listed software and news. One account allows you to comment on various (mostly news) sites.

 

I have this happen with several browsers. Always figured in my case it's because of wireless bandwidth or connectivity issues. I just reload the page. But I am confused - one responder with IE9 tells the OP to use one besides IE9?
