hi tejas,

thanks for helping me solve that problem Smile

however i have another problem:

when i try to go on a post on india forums it takes atleast 5 minutes for the page to load. when i go to the threads, theres no problem, but the posts take a long time to load. i dont seem to have a problem with any other site, but it happens only on this site

i dont know why this happens, especially since it takes longer for the page to load than when i used to use dial up...

In these kind of issues it is very difficult to point out the root cause. I can however give you a few pointers. The most basic of which would be to purge your entire browsing History. Beware this will remove any saved info too, as well as any customisations you may have done to suit your needs on websites as your cookies will be deleted.

There is an excellent app which will automatically do this for you. its called CCleaner and you can get it when you click on the name. excellent utility.

Once you have installed CCleaner you can open the application by:

Double-clicking the desktop icon
Clicking on Start -> Programs -> CCleaner
Right-clicking on the Recycle Bin and selecting "Open CCleaner..."
Under the Windows Tab Select all check boxes (even the greyed ones)
Under the Applications Tab Select Firefox (if you have it)
At the bottom right click on "Run Cleaner"

Voila you're done.

Now again try again (you will have to re-login to set the cookie which should also solve your cookie corruption problem as you'll be setting an entirely new cookie on your system.)

If the steps above don't help please do post back here.

The steps I mentioned above should help you solve the problems here too. IF does have a cookie problem which should be fixed in due time.

Hi Tejas

I want to thank you for your help. I did all the process that you gave me.

My other question is that When I open my Internet Explorer. I get so many websites which just keep coming on my Screen.

Because of this problem, I use MSN Explorer. Is there a Solution for this problem.

Please reply
Thanks for your corporation.

If you have followed my earlier instructions then these problems should have dissappeared. in any case they are given below here again. But before you follow them I would like a few questions answered. What kind of software do you run on your system like the Anti-Virus, Firewall, Etc. it looks like you're missing sumthing or your PC wouldn't have got effected that easily.

You don't need to use Pirated stuff neither do you need to spend a bomb to get authentic software. In todays world you can get almost all of the above software's free versions. Check out ComputerWorld Security's Page for more details. I recommend AVG Free and ZoneAlarm Free.

Hope it helps.

First and foremost download Spybot Search & Destroy from here.

If you're using Spybot for the first time.... here's a very good tutorial.

Next up perform an Update in Spybot to make sure you've the latest updates.

Open Spybot-S&D
Click on 'Update' in the navigation bar
Search for available updates
Select all available relevant updates
Select a download location
Download the selected updates
If you receive a Bad Checksum!! error select another download server

Next Run an Online Virus Scanner

eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner Requires Internet Explorer. (If prompted on that page, allow Active X and the install of software - this is needed to scan your system)
It may take a while to download the updates needed, and then you will be presented with a screen to scan your system.

Trend Micro Online Scan Does not produce log, useful for a second scan.

Reboot your computer into SafeMode by doing the following:

Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, begin tapping F8.
Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Open Spybot-S&D while still in safe mode.

Close all browsers, check for problems and fix everything found in red
Repeat until no more items are found in red

a) Close Spybot-S&D
b) Reboot back into Windows and repeat the entire process once more.

Then post back if you have more problems.

Viewbie's Note: POST EDITED FOR OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT.

Please read my first post.... it specifically states that you may not ask for any Hacks / Cracks / Serials / etc... in short anything illegal here.

This is also against the IF Code of Conduct.

hey let me help you. Its a quite a easy solution! Smile

Coz its a hardware problem you have to fix this from where you bought it. They or the company will help you Smile

. The 2 points are :-

1) Smile

If any problems happens with in the warranty given by samsung then they will not take a single pence from you after fixing it. Smile

If any problems happens outside the warranty THEN if the solution of your hardware problem takes $15 from you by the company after fixing it then you have to pay the price of it coz you know why. Smile

Hopes it helps Smile

Cheers
ANDRO Smile
