PC & MAC CLINIC - On line problem solving. (CPU)

Is there anybody on here viewing streaming stockwatch with Windows 7
64 bit & Internet Explorer 8

I feel the above is incompatable with the website.

I have just tried running MoneyAM Stockwatch in IE8 32 bit and 64 bit side by side under Win 7 64bit, they are both fine and identical.

Have you tried using a product like CCleaner and clearing out all your temporary internet files, etc, cookies, etc, (your cache) particularly all the MoneyAM ones, so as to have a clean start?

We've plugged the horrible little NTL modem into a Netgear Prosafe VPN Firewall FVS 338. It's just plugged in, and the settings can be tweaked with instructions from the support page here.

Optimist, just vaguely I remember something about having to set up the router in "bridge mode" in these cases, but I wouldn't know what that means exactly in practice. Presumably NAT and DHCP need to be disabled.

Optimist - 18 Feb 2010 18:51 - 8832 of 11003

SC

Thanks for that, I'll look into that unit.

Kayak

It has been tried in both modes but I'm sure that the solution is something along the lines that you suggest. Unfortunately. Virgin/NTL/Telewest are less than useful when it comes to giving any details of their system. It is clearly my friends fault for expecting to use more than one PC in his business.

It looks as though the solution will be to add one of the routers that SC has even though it should not be needed. Plus, I will do my best to discourage anyone from ever using Virgin/NTL/Telewest.

Kayak - 18 Feb 2010 18:58 - 8833 of 11003

Don't know if this might help.

I'm on Virgin cable(for years despite their disinterest)
I've a cable modem wired to a Netgear router (RP114)
This has four outputs and at one time I had 3 comps on it.
It apparently, according to the info I got with it, can be
daisy-chained with other routers, to give up to 256 outputs.

Seymour Clearly - 18 Feb 2010 19:31 - 8835 of 11003

Yep, at one of our branches the Netgear router is daisychained to another router giving us the 10 connections I mentioned earlier. If you're still struggling Opti, I can ask my PC man how he did it - he's very approachable and charges nothing for advice.

Well that has me stumped. I tried running stockwatch at a friends house last night he also has Windows 7 64bit, IE8 browser, and the stockwatch is small same as mine, so now I am at a loss to understand why our, PC's display this way and yours is OK.

Optimist - 19 Feb 2010 09:18 - 8837 of 11003

Clubman

Have you tried using the IE8 32 bit browser?

Clubman3509 - 19 Feb 2010 09:22 - 8838 of 11003

Yes same result, also tried older Java versions, Can not understand why Opera browser runs OK, someone did tell me that Opera has something built in for Java

Optimist - 19 Feb 2010 09:35 - 8839 of 11003

Only thing that I can think of is that it is something to do with your fonts.

You could try playing around with your themes, or possibly create a new user and try running under that.

zzaxx99 - 22 Feb 2010 14:20 - 8840 of 11003

-- Optimist,

You don't need to get DHCP from the modem - all you need to do is get the router to connect to the modem, and switch on DHCP in the router. That will supply addresses for all the devices connected to it. As the modem is on the WAN side of the router, it doesn't need to be in the same address range.

So, for example, my Virgin modem appears to my network to be at 192.169.100.1, the router is at 192.168.0.1 and all the network devices are at 192.168.0.2 upwards

My PC has shut itself down twice in the last month.

I know I should open it up and look for gunge.

But in the meantime is there a bit of freeware I can load to monitor any temperature info that it may be picking up.

If you spot this, Exec, it is one of those Viper jobbies from the doctors.

Bing for 'MBM5'

It used to be a very comprehensive motherboard monitor although I don't know how up to date it now is.

Lavalys Everest Home Edition (free)

Edit: Major Geeks is a good site.

MightyMicro - 24 Feb 2010 13:11 - 8844 of 11003

Clubman3509:

Most browsers use the Java 'plug-in' whereas Opera uses the normal Java J2SE (Standard Edition) runtime. That would probably explain any quirks, although the plug-in and J2SE *should* behave the same.

Clubman3509 - 24 Feb 2010 13:59 - 8845 of 11003

I have been advised that the only reason Opera shows the stockwatch OK is because I have run it under the Windows 7 option XP revert unfortunetly you can not do this with IE8 browser. The Dell expert reckons Moneyam site does not support Windows 7 with browser IE8 and the problem is with their website.

ThePublisher - 24 Feb 2010 15:36 - 8846 of 11003

I'm seeing 80 C.

I'm guessing that it too hot.

That's with Everest.

EDIT. Took the side off. No obvious signs of muck. But there is only one fan -on the board. When I was working our office PC's had fans on the power units (I thought).
