Trouble viewing this website with Vista and IE7
 
I've tried changing all the settings and can't seem to use this forum. My daughter's computer which has XP and IE6 seems to work.

Any suggestions or known fixes? an email would be nice since I can't see the forum!!

dnlh@clearwire.net

Thanks

Use an Apple computer and Firefox?;)

Funny, 10 years ago I was the one who couldn't use the internet on my Mac... now it's the other way around.:confused:

Sorry, that wasn't constructive. Just think it's weird that the newest of MS products won't work on a site this simple.

Define what trouble you are having.

Or, install Firefox, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/.

My daughter has vista on her laptop - I'll check it out this evening...

BTW, I also recommend using firefox - just one little vote against the microsoft monopoly.

------thread hijack on----------
I thought about getting an apple but I wanted cheap. Its a used fairly new computer and came with Vista and I'm too cheap to "upgrade" to XP. Heck, I could almost buy a set of knobbies for the price of XP!

Does Firefox work with Vista?
Does Firefox have problems accessing some websites and features?
This website is the only one I have a problem with IE7 (so far)
---------thread hijack off------

It takes a very long time to load the web page. Or many times it takes a long time, then I get the message:

Internet Explorer cannot open the web page


when I click on "diagnose problem" I get a message that says the web site is programmed wrong, claims that Windows Firewall is not the culprit, and suggests that I instruct my firewall to allow access through TCP port 80. However I have tried it with Windows Firewall and McAfee internet security OFF and get the same results. I have also set all the security setting in IE7 to the lowest setting -- doesn't seem to help.

I am also looking into the firewall on my router but since my other computer seems to work OK it doesn't seem likely to be the router..

The problem does seem worse in the evening.

I'm using Vista and IE7 without difficulty.
Have you used Microsoft's update feature to make sure both are at current revision levels?

I'm using vista .. not sure what ie # ... guess its 7 ...
The site gets a little slow and hangs up every now and then. I've gotten that can not access website window more than a few times.

At home using XP Pro, IE6, and....um.....borrowing...an unsecured wireless connection and no problems at all with the GG site. Loads fast and no problems navigating around. Pictures come up fast as well

At work, again XP Pro and IE6 and behind all sorts of secure firewalls and various forms of protection I have fits. Site loads slow or not at all, pages the same way, have to click stop, then back and then retry to load a page again sometimes 2,3,4 times and then it loads finally. I've actually found some weird patterns that make it work better. If I open IE in the morning at work the Gas Gas site can't be the first site I try or it won't load or takes forever. Other sites have to be opened first then I can open it. Really strange. Then you get the message page can't be displayed so you hit the refresh button and it comes right up. Sometimes I just let it clock and walk away to actually do some work. No problems with other sites like this one. It's just the GG site.

This occasionally happens to me. when it does happen, i hit refresh. 90% of the time, this works. If it doesnt i go check out all the other forums im on, then i come back here and it works.

I have XP professional, and IE7.
