Can any boff pse tell me how to alter the settings:
Reason being is that 2 sites seem to be loading very slowly (UKMOC is one) and I keep getting 'cannot find....' > This is surely cos the settings are perhaps less than 30seconds for a search - or something like that. No probs at work - but tis super fast jobbie.
Anyway - as am stupid female, on dial up at home, can someone pse tell me where to look to alter the settings for this? In easy words too if you wouldnt mind....
Cheers for that Anthony - but no privacy tab (had thought of that), and if needing advanced, will not accept entry without 'supervisor password' - which I've never used (or have!!!). Bring back work system... easy peasy to sort... Little laptop on 2000 = nuisance
long story about laptop - but I use it more now since we moved, as the old dinosaur (not Alan!) of a 'puter upstairs doesnt have flash on it, so cant use it for monster chatroom. Laptop came out of back of van over 2 years ago.... rather cheap for a vaio... at £150......
Can also nip into garden for ciggy, when working in dining room... mucky moo that I am.....
Everything working as it should - both sites I am unable to acces, were in frequent use at the w/end - and often during the week. Just seems these 2 sites are being 'donged out' after 15 seconds - yes, am sad enough to have timed them till the 'cannot find site' page came up.
Have treid logging off & backon - runnning at 45.2Kbps - about average - often runs at 44 - and sometimes less & still successful.
Could be a temporary glitch with the servers of the sites you are using (and/or a problem with their bandwidth). Increasing the time-out might work, but I think you said you use Windoze 2000 and I know little about that system. If your settings are Supervisor password protected, it follows that you are logging onto your laptop as an ordinary, restricted user. Are you able to log on as a supervisor? If you have to log on when you switch on the laptop, try using "Administrator" as the logon ID and leave the password blank, to log on. You may be able to access your IE settings that way.
