Felix, am keeps closing when I post a note to the BB. Get a popup "Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close" It then goes back to my home page. Has happened on both my machines this morning so not me I think. Skinny is also having a problem (see traders thread).

Many PC Bios allow you to choose which Hard Disk to boot from, worth a check

2nd HDD's are very reasonably priced at the moment

Rob, had same problem a number of times this morning, also when trying to view all messages or previous. Only seems to relate to Traders Thread. I thought it might be something to do with additions Croc has made?? but I'm no techy.

Robb/Seymour - now you mention it - my problems were all related to the traders thread!

Guys,

Those of you that experienced an error message when you accessed the site this morning - one quick question, do you have any kind of pop up blocker anabled - it probably isn't this, but just investigating all possibilities.

Ian

Ian - no!

Thanks Skinny - was a long shot :) are you back up too speed at the moment or are you still experiencing problems?

IAn

I will consider that Croc, could also be a secondary data back up as well as a means of running true dos programes, have an original copy of Windows 3.11 and dos 5 or 6 somewhere

No its fine now - but I do get the problem every couple of days or so - I'll cut and paste next time.

Ian - mine wasn't a problem with general site access, or even the BB. It just seemed to be in relation to the traders thread. If it happens again I will post details.

Regards
Rob

Thanks Robb,

we are investigating, please let me know if you encounter anything similar.

Ian

Have a new clock applet in the traders thread header, it seems o.k. here but might cause a problem on a differebt system

Just had the same problem with the traders thread a few minutes ago. Had to close down ie. It said it was creating a log - appcompat.txt - which I can't now find.

Croc,

Can you remove the clock from the header for a few days as we think this may be responsible - have posted on the othe rthread but just to let you know.

Robb,

Hopefully that will clear the problem, but please let me know if it happens again once the clock has been removed?

Regards

Ian

Done Ian
Can someone who is having the problem also test for the same problem on www.ftsedow.com
Thanks
D.

Still getting the problem. Also now getting a blank page with "Done" at the bottom. It only seems to be in relation to the traders thread.

Robb,

All seems to be ok with everyone else - croc has reverted to an older version of the Header.

What isp are you using?
Ian

Back in after shopping.

Have still got the problem. Opened up stockwatch successfuly, clicked on traders room to open in another window, clicked on the traders thread and bang, down we went - both IE windows closed, and my home page opened up. All going OK until the traders page opened.

No firewall or anything on this machine, W98SE, loads of memory. Afnother site works OK (not trying to be pointed at all, know they wouldn't respond at all!).

Ian - on a locally provided 1mb wireless broadband connection that ultimately goes thru ntl. I've checked with them and there are no problems and its been smooth and fast since I've had it. The problem is intermittant (about 8-10 times), only started happening today and only in relation to the traders thread and on no other website. I've cleared temp internet files and cookies just in case.

Robb,

can you give a try now - croc has removed teh header to see if this is causing it.

Ian
