Boostin' Kev Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Been having problems with browsers not loading pages even though internet connection was good on other devices and showing as a strong connection on laptop. Tried a few solutions online which has had some sort of success but I'm still having problems. Can anyone with some knowledge and patience help me out with this before I launch my laptop across the living room please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Bandicoot Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Been having problems with browsers not loading pages even though internet connection was good on other devices and showing as a strong connection on laptop. Tried a few solutions online which has had some sort of success but I'm still having problems. Can anyone with some knowledge and patience help me out with this before I launch my laptop across the living room please? I had similar problems, it eventually got to the stage nothing would load at all. So what i ended up having to do was restoring it to factory settings. it worked and not had problems since. Stored all my files etc on a hard drive, so i wouldn't lose them, and began the process. You have to download all your software again which is a pain, but as you have done, i looked for other solutions but got no success. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I had that problem where nothing loaded then used the link below thats made a big difference. Really dont fancy doing a factory reset tbh.

muirkirk nil Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I had problems with Firefox. Did a refresh and it was sorted. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings Chrome. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en-GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davi3j Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Try this. Click start button, control panel, internet options. Click the connections tab, click Lan settings, then make sure there is no tick next to "use a proxy server" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 What browser(s) are you using, and what error message are you getting when trying to load web page (i.e. 404 Not Found, or 408 Request Timeout etc.) Is it the same on multiple browsers? Do you have another programme installed that you could use to connect to the internet that isn't browser-based? Try running an update on your Anti-Virus, or accessing the Apple Store through iTunes. Anything that can prove your computer is connecting to the Internet okay. If we can rule out connectivity issues then it is probably an issue with your browser as you suspect.

Boostin' Kev Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks for the replies. after hours figuring out a solution it looks as thought the problem was the antivirus. I've uninstalled Avast and installed Avira yesterday and it seems to have fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
