Hi Darren

I'm using IE7. Tried Firefox, but would much prefer IE.

  Hi Barbara

  Which browser are you using?

  I've found that using Internet Explorer, pages that are heavy with Java 
Script and the like will load faster as the Explorer Java engine processes the 
information so slowly, which will cause page times to appear to load sluggishly.

  fireFox does a much better job of loading these types of pages.

  Jaws 9 Also works pretty well with Firefox.

  Cheers

      Hi All

      I won't go into the details, but I purchased a desktop Acer some months 
ago and somehow between the company I purchased it from and their repairs 
company (arrived faulty) half of my 1GB of RAM disappeared. Neither side would 
take responsibility, but the company I purchased it off did send me the 
replacement RAM to get fitted. I am in the process of arranging to have a 
further 1GB of RAM fitted so I will have 1536MB.

      My question is: I am having a lot of problems recently using the 
Internet. Pages take ages to load and sometimes when I type in an address and 
press Enter, I get nothing and have to close down it's taking so long. When I 
use the cursors nothing is spoken and pressing the Tab only reads the address I 
have typed in. This problem gets worse in the evenings when the computer has 
been running most of the day. Is this due to the low RAM (512MB) or could it be 
caused by another problem? I have Eset Smart Security running, so don't think 
there are any nasties getting in. It's just making any kind of online work 
pointless.

      If I knew it was the RAM it would be fine as it's getting sorted in the 
next few days.

      Thanks for any advice.
