Web Browser Discussion - FlashPeak Online Forum

Why is it that one certain site--in this case, CNN.com/mney--totally freezes SlimBrowser? I can easily get it on Oper and Google Chrome and IE, and it willingly tells me about the Stock Market, and one click makes it say goodbye.

In SlimBrower, I get the info, but it takes control of the computer and it takes a dozen Control/Alt/Deletes before it disappears? I can excuse it if SlimBrowser has a Socialist distaste fo capitalism, but metninks it's something less worthy, more buggy.

Any way to help this?

thanks,
Harry

PS. I notice that the compuser freezing with a few other sites as well. I put on a Huffington Post article and the machne froze up.

Is this fixable?

Thanks again

I went to cnn money and could not duplicate the issue.

Can you be more specific about what you click, if anything, on the webpage after you get to the money page at cnn?

also

please click Help:Configuration Information... and then copy paste the info to a reply.

Thank you so much. My hard disk had suicidal crash last week, and though most everythiing is back (I had studiously backed up all the data/text), I am still having a few minor problems.

Like this one. I put on www.money.cnn.com, the screen comes up right away with my information. But when I try to turn it off, the whole computer freezes. I can usually do contal/alt/delete several times, and it will be okay. Or sometimes I have waited 10 minutes and it will straighten out.

On other browsers (Opera, Google Chrome), all is satisfactory. But I do like SlimBrowser for its terrific screen.

Here is the configuaration information. I couldn't get it under that CNN program since the screen froze, but here it is under this message.

I am assuming prior to you big crash that Slimbrowser displayed the webpages without issues.

go to Tools:Options:Advanced
change max number of tabs per process to 1
checkmark the box next to "Switch process when resource limit is reached" if not already checked
OK out of there
close Slimbrowser
restart

and now the Whitesmoke Toolbar, again I make an assumption in this case that you did not deliberately do this

follow the instructions to remove it

That seemed to work wonderfully. Many thanks. I'm quite certain that little problems will pop up, but with wonderful people like you around, I don't feel that I'm wandering in a dark alley.
