Q: WHY DO YOUR PAGES NOT LOAD COMPLETELY? NO SUBMIT BUTTON?

A: Sometimes, the complete contents of a page, especially a form page such as the questionnaire, does not get displayed by your browser . . . .

. . . The most common problem is related to your browser's cache memory . Cache memory is the area where your pages are loaded in order to be viewed . This is not the same as disk cache, where pages are stored for later retrieval . If you have too little memory cache, the browser can not display the entire page at one time, thus you get an incomplete page . If you have ample cache assigned to your browser, then Windows may be running out of resources to allocate to the browser's memory cache .

There are two ways to try to correct this: you can assign more memory cache to your browser, if it supports that feature, and you can close all other applications in Windows and try freeing up as many resources as possible .

142418 2003-05-08 23:24:00 oxie- memory chache settings have nothing to do with temp internet files. might be best to start a new thread on that.(i recommend cacheman for setting vcache settings)

susan- i consider 40meg to be large. considering opera default setting is 20meg ;-). even with 200meg you will need a fast hardrive/pc to make it worth while. don't forget most of the files are small and its the sheer number of them that causes most of the slow down. dealing with 2-3 files totaling 200meg is easy, dealing with 200-300 files totaling 200meg takes a long time.

142419 2003-05-08 23:30:00 Agreed!

20 Megs does more than enough for most use. Unless you're a VERY heavy surfer, it should be fine :-)

I have mine set to 5 megs coz all I get is PressF1, google, and websites off of google... So I do a lot of chatting online?! ;-)

Thanks for that thread and the explanation. I guess then my disk cache is OK being 50,000 kb which is approx 48 mb, right?

Many thanks.

142424 2003-05-09 02:04:00 Yep, 1MB = 1024KB = 2^10 Bytes.

However just to confuse the issue, some software reports 1 MB = 1000KB, I cant recall off the top of my head what type of applications do this or why, but it can get annoying.

Oops, should read
1MB = 1024KB = 2^10 Bytes.= 2^20 Bytes = 1024x1024 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes.

142426 2003-05-09 03:03:00 Yes, that can become rather annoying!

25MB is a much better limit - happy surfing :-)


Cheers


Chill.
