Re: Web pages won't load on random occassions

Hi,

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with Internet Explorer 7.
Ever since I upgraded my PC and installed Vista (about 1 year ago) I have
had a problem with loading web pages. Every time I access the web I find
that web pages won't load on a random basis. The issue appears to relate
to all web sites (e.g. Google, Hotmail, etc.).

I have provided a scenario below as an example of the issue I face:

* I have loaded Google and searched for something. I then click on the
first search result. If I then try to go back to Google sometimes it will
not load (i.e. I get a "Web page cannot be loaded" error). If I try 3 or 4
times more to access Google it will still not load. However, if I then
leave the computer for 5 minutes, say, and return I can access Google
again.

This issue affects me almost every time I access the web. I have discussed
this with my house mates (running XP or Mac) who do not have the same
problem.

Try updating your network adapter drivers. Never get drivers from Windows
Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer
(HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.
