4u111 · 03-01-2007, 11:17 PM

hi guys
I am having difficulties in accessing the following web page
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/...est/index.html (then click on go to test).
For me when i click on go to test, the page goes very slowly, and each step takes me arround half an hour, and thats really annoying, and it's like that for months, and i assure you the problem is not from the web site(from my comp), bcos i tried to access it on a different pc and it worked perfectly.

Please guys any suggested help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using IE7, my connection is broadband, and P4 computer.

Empty your browsers cache, also is this the only site you have issues with?

You may want to go to Java.com and update your Java software.

I have deleted everything in the internet options(cookies, files,objects,history as well,,) but still have the same problem, my java script is enapled too.
I have the latest java installed on my computer.
And i think this problem started since i got the new IE7 2 months ago, and my previous one was IE5.

I tested it on IE7. Worked fine.
Are you sure your machine is malware free?

4u111 · 03-05-2007, 06:41 AM

yeah my computer is free from everything(99% sure), i reinstalled java again but still have the same problem, thats really strange!!!, i really dont know what to do now!!!! anyway, i've got something to try,im going to install my old IE5!! to see if the problem is really from IE!!!

It is probably IE7 specific....maybe just down to browser settings?? Perhaps try lowering the default security settings temporarily and restore the advanced settings...then clear your cache and try again.

The test was a little slow for me too but nowhere near as bad as you described.

anyway, guys thanx alot for your help, actually i lowered my security to the first level, and somehow it's better than before but not much. but at least i can set on the exam now, lol. and anyway, this is the only site i have trouble with.
thanx.

Glad that worked but it's not too advisible to keep low security settings for too long....so in the long run it may be better to access the Custom level settings and experiment with different scripting options in there as you may find the problem completely disappears without losing too much security.

yea i know, ill just lower when i visit that website, and after ill turn it back t normal, which is usually to medium or one step higher.
thanx nickster uk
