Best I can figure it has to be Vista.
It's not as bad with XP (my desktop) hardly noticeable but ever since Sunday evening, and really bad on Monday IE is erroring all over the place when I try to access SR.
For example to try and look at a merchant, we'll say Target I'll get an error, hit refresh sometimes 3 times before the page will come up. Click on the link, page takes forever to load and then I can get to the site. Once on Target I have no problem.
GF same thing takes a while to get through the pages but then once I'm in a survey I sail along just fine, but when it comes time to get the congrats page I either get hung up and takes forever or get another error. DH was burned twice with this on a SM survey yesterday.
Here's what I have checked.
I've been on the phone with my internet provider, tested everything it all seems to be working fine, upload and download speeds are right where they should be
DH's laptop (XP) desktop (XP) work fine, occasional one here and there but nothing I haven't seen before.
My laptop (Vista) is the one having problems. I've updated windows (even tried Beta 8, didnt' like it so de-installed it) and have removed updates from Norton and microsoft starting on 11/29 since that's when the problem started.
Checked all of my settings on Norton and IE bc I haven't changed anything and as far as I can see there weren't any updates that changed anything either. DS's, offers are crediting WHEN I'm not getting the error page.
I'm clueless at this point, it's getting to the point where every other click whether it's forum or main page takes 5-10 seconds to load (if it loads) or every other time it's an I.E error that I have to refresh then wait for the page to load. With FIOS it shouldn't take more then seconds to load even at high traffic times.
Anyone? :confused:
