Anyone any good with laptops/internet.....
 

As title just wondering if anyone can help me...


basically i bought a laptop (off here) nothing wrong with it but, everytime i go on a uk scooby forum it logs me out after 2 minutes or so...


i know its somat in the settings as it only does it on this laptop and no other place i go to gain internet access and log on to the uk forum???

anyone any ideas as it does my head when i see 30 threads and i start to read then when i go to post i am logged out!!

so i logged back in and and all posts are lost on (view new posts since last visit)

its 100% somat on laptop though as like i say if i go anywere else ie internet cafe or library it all goe smoothly and like it should :)

cheers in advance for any advice/help guys and girls :) :)

Maybe the laptop is trying to tell you something.... :)

is the laptop running windows vista or XP?

xp but its only on a uk forum it goes wrong lol

delete your cookies and offline files from internet options under control panel. Also are you using IE or Firefox? If IE then swtich to Firefox now. Free download and you will experience a lot fewer issues.

Tried it in another browser besides IE ?

will try that cookies option now yeah using ie....

as above see if the same happens with mozilla, will narrow it done to a system option or a browser option

right just logged on there left it a few minutes went to post and i was logged out!!

so should i dowload firefox as a search engine???

also cleaned the temp files and deleted cookies...

Firefox isnt a search engine. Its a program that immitates Internet Explorers capabilities and has less crashes etc.

will download it now then cheers hopfully that will sort it :) :)

Right it still happens with firefox..........


any other ideas/suggestions???

Mate if I where you I would format the Hard Drive and start fresh
If you need any software give me a call.............

Mark i wouldnt know were to start lol

i think it may of been formmated before i got it as there was virtually nothing on it all.

Unlikely they would have reinstalled windows from new
most likely they just uninstalled most software and deleted personal files
so its probably running a bit sick........and you dont know what spyware is on it which is probably whats causing your problems
Format and reinstall FTW IMO

i still wouldnt know were to start mark!!

as in i have never done it :(

Bring it around and Ill show Ya....
did you get a drivers disk with it ?

no, no discs what so ever mark :(

What brand of lappy is it?

toshiba......

try Opera web browser we had the same issue with ebay and the new IE/firefox

this may sound stupid, but make sure your ticking log me in automatically when you login, or save my details etc.

also you might have to over=ride cookie handling to force it to accept cookies from that forum.

From your initial post im hazarding a guess that this is happening only on the one website and not other sites you login to like hotmail etc ?

no nothing else just that website!! and only on this laptop nothing else!!

When you log onto a forum and you ask to save your details, these details are generally stored in the form of a cookie, mmm cookie. Anyway, try clearing your iExplore Cache/Cookies and then re-login to the site and see how you go.

I know it's been mentioned above but that's all it could really be .. ?? Other than that, make sure the laptop is fully up to date from the MS Updates site and is running iExplore 7/8 and/or Google Chrome/Mozilla/Opera or whatever.

yeah its running firefox mozilla now, i did it yesterday as for cookies cache cleared them with temp internet files, and now i am logged on as we speak with log me in automatically so gonna go back in a minute and see if its still on...............


its doing my head in lol
