A quick peek at that site in my GetRight browser
shows it want to load 6 JavaScripts. Got that disabled?
If I went there with a Mozilla browser,
I'd have to block almost everything to stand it.
From the contents listing I see using GetRight,
that page is also one of the most cluttered, junked-up things
I've encountered lately.
This is not a browser compatibility thing - at least I don't think so.
The reason for going to the site was because the on-line anti-virus
update was failing. THAT was when I found that seamonkey was having
trouble, but the problem is not seamonkey - it's something deeper inside
pigging windows.
This morning I quite happily started the machine - all the startup stuff
has been disabled so it's only using windows drivers/services at
present. I downloaded SM1.1.15 - installed it and navigated around for a
bit avoiding known problem sites. But any attempt to go to M$ or pctools
sites gives a dns error. And if i try to ping those problem addresses -
address not found. But the other machines here ping pctools happily and
get addresses for M$. It's only THAT machine which complains.
Since the important stuff IS working, I thought I'd just ignore these
problems despite the fact that we can't update the anti virus, but I'm
also having a problem getting email working. It will not connect to the
email server.
THIS flagged up one thing which may be relevant. The customer is using
AOL which I have had problems with in the past, and it seems that
'talk-talk' are taking over and moving customers. So I'm wondering if
something relating to THAT is now screwing up normal operation :(
So much for doing someone a 'quick favour'!
