swifter_uk Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I am using WindowsXP Pro, I have found recently that when updates become available for various software I am using, notably Zonealarm, Internet Explorer times out after a while and then gives me an error message:Internet Explorer cannot access the site....Others will download with no problems, very weird, could it be something to do with .exe files? As this is what the zonealarm upgrade is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifter_uk Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I just tried with ZA off, no change there....sure this is a Windows problem with something that has become corrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifter_uk Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I looked at Ellas sugestion, but it is not a https site it is connecting to so I don't think this is relevant...thanks for trying though.Guess i will have to ask zonealarm to send me a zip of the upgrade :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifter_uk Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Still having problems with this, it is not a zonelabs problem, definately something in XP that is timing out, it is stopping me from getting some major upgrades & other software downloads..Is their some way I can run an XP Repair process without fear of it deleting or corrupting any of my files/software?Really like to get this sorted without having to reload XP... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifter_uk Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Thanks Powerless, I have seen that process when re-installing on other users machines, but my experience precludes what process it takes, hence my concern over losing vital information, I will run a back-up & attempt a repair asap..I just hope it can resolve the problem I am having, it is getting to be very annoying... :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
