Can Someone Save My Laptop From Being Thrown Out The Window

[khaleesi]

Whenever I come onto this website my laptop always freezers and I have to use the task manager to close the webpage and then reopen it. Does anyone know what's causing it and how to stop it? it doesn't happen on any other websites.

Which version of Windows and, importantly, which browser, please?

[Jackdaw33]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Chico?

[ivor4781]

reinstall the o/s, problem solved (but it takes a while to do it)

[Hopkirk]

Try a different browser

[hc4361]

DO NOT reinstall the OS. Totally over the top for this problem

If the problem is only when using the Answerbank site, then it suggests a Browser compatibility problem with AB.

A reply to Buenchico's request would assist matters.^^^

sorry for the delay in getting back to you it's been a nightmare just trying to post this answer. It's windows ten and although i use chrome for all other internet use, i find that internet explorer is a little less unresponsive. I would be open to using a different browser if you think that will help, can you suggest any that are worth trying please

Chris (as usual) has some good suggestions here:http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Internet/Question1551537.html

Use Edge and install Adblock plus. There said it.

I can save myself some typing here by simply referring you to a post I made just half an hour ago:

Togo, the watch is running!

Lol Zebo, I persevered for 12 months, mainly out of a feeling of being faithful to the site. But the bleedin trackers and ad hounds were all over me despite a high spec set up. Boots up before I can sit down, and logs down before I can turn off the monitor and speakers now. Plus no flashing banners that would give a Zen an epileptic fit.
