PC Locking up

Might be my PC -- but since SEC has been up and running my screen locks on occasion (maybe a couple of times a day ?.) Not a major prob - but have to use Task manager as only way of closing SEC--then it shuts all opene sites that I have on aswell --

 

think you got to much open, close your legs that might help

 

is it only internet explorer/whatever browser your using that this happens in? if so try updating you adobe flash player and java plugins see if that makes any difference, alternatively reset browser settings.

 

@ Patrick
Deano -I have no idea what you mean lol I do have IE - and running windows 7 <? whatever the new one is- its only since I been using SEC and only when I am in here -- but I have Face book running in background and an *old forum* I use to use . Its not a mega deal --but it knocks me out of the other forum then I have to log back in -- and the constant loggin in miffing me as the *other forum* may think I am interested in what s been posted .......

 

the bits that make websites look all funky and shiny are usually programmed in whats called java or flash .your internet browser ( in this case internet explorer) has to have applications installed to display these types of content. newer websites use newer version so you find sometimes if your version of the software is out of date it can cause problems with certain websites.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html this is the flash player download page, click on "get latest version" . http://www.java.com/en/download/ this is the java download paga and again click that big button in the middle and let it do its thing. might not sort the issue but could be an easy fix. if it keeps on doing it afterwards we'll go back to the drawing board and we'll see what we can sort out

 

mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Deano xx All done xx

 

no probs glad i could be of service...

 

Its just done it again :-(

 

oooook . sorry for the delay in responding... beena busy day. next thing to try is reset internet explorer settings. up the top of the browser should be some options ie file,edit,view.favourites etc. click on TOOLS then INTERNET OPTIONS which is the last option. this will bring up a box. At thetop of the box is a bunch of tabs, head to the far right one which is ADVANCED and click on it. there should now be a button at the bottom of the page saying RESET . click this and another box appears. leave the DELETE PERSONAL SETTINGS box unticked then click on reset, what this will do is reset internet explorer back to default so if any rogue applications have attached thereselves to IE or one of your toolbar/browser addons is causing the issue then hopefully your prob will be sorted If not then we'll go back to the drawing board lol

 

its ony happens when I am in here ? so shall I still do what you said above ?/ *Advanced* thats a scarey one lol

 

yep its not a major operation just resets some settings etc.. sometimes internet explorer gets clogged up with extras and rubbish but you dont realise til wesbsites dont display properly etc sometimes

 

just done a dummy run -- before i hit the reset will it delete all my passowrd info and pre fill a form stuff ? not that it matters just verifying

 

eeek I have done it I have to re start IE now -- so do i just close all mi tabs ??

 

all done - will sort the email thinger me jiggy maybe tomozz or Monday xx

 

locked up again ............

 

(when it happens)The screen just sort of freezes on here then I cant minimise use any other open pages - pressing cntl alt del - brings the task bar thingy up -- and evrything is RUNNING ? I highlight SEC forum- END task -and then it shuts EVERYTHING down.
I never log out of anywhere that i use -- but then have to re log into everywhere else (KSB being one) BUT, not in here - I just click my desktop shortcut and straight back in ?
I can live with the prob just baffling me why it only happens on here ? x

 

hmmm just replying to Joshs Jumper thread = clicked the smiley and it locked . now got togo find Josh's theard to see if my post was published -
