| 1437029 | 2017-07-10 06:57:00 | this is not just occasionally. I use Firefox and get this ever single day, for months! Thought that it might be Firefox, then after a very short while found it also happens on the "Edge" and "Internet Explorer". It may be something to do with the fact that this newspaper no longer has a print edition, and now can only be accessed on line. I persevere, because it reports news particularly well and has reports on the Middle East from Robert Fisk, who is much more unbiased and reliable. I do notice that I get less of the "Not Responding" if I go particularly slowly, so may be tied in with downloading speed. However, since it is now solely internet based you would not think of that as a possible problem. Tearing my hair out, and I don't have much left!! |

| 1437030 | 2017-07-10 07:56:00 | Seems OK for me, crisp and rapid response using Firefox and ADSL2. So it is probably something to do with your particular set up. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 1437031 | 2017-07-10 08:10:00 | No trouble here on Opera with their Webpage Do you get on-line subscription of the Independent? |

| 1437032 | 2017-07-10 09:27:00 | Working Ok here as well. Have you tried cleaning out your temp internet files, with something like Ccleaner ? If not it could be trying to load old pages. You can also try this, open a CMD, type in ping www.independent.co.uk <Press Enter> You should get a steady response with a IP address of 151.101.129.184 Like this: 8149 I |

| 1437034 | 2017-07-11 03:58:00 | Lawrence - I must confess that I read it for free ( I have made a contribution once recently to The Guardian) wainuitech - Have just used CCleaner and cleared out 5.9Gigs. Since my SSD drive is only using 106Gigs at present, with 116Gigs free, I had not bothered too much until now. However it has not fixed the problem. I have done the ping thing, it flashes by very quickly and the window disappears before I can read everything. However by running it about 12-14 times have noticed that it pings similar to yours three times, each go. Cannot read the stats at the bottom before the window disappears. Patrick - sorry I don't know what this means, or how to do it? - "Try to check back your browser's page." |

| 1437035 | 2017-07-11 04:58:00 | Okay -- That CMD box should stay open until you manually close it ( or type in exit) looks like you may have some sort of corruption. Assuming this is W10, (I'll copy paste from another thread I just replied to) Lazy eh :D From search, type in CMD right click the result /run as administrator. Type in sfc /scannow <Press enter key> Then run this DISM command. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth it will take a while to run and often appears to stop at 20% just leave it, it will finish on its own. |

| 1437036 | 2017-07-11 06:51:00 | Misty, open Run, type in CMD, once the box appears paste in "ping www.independent.co.uk" without semi-collon, hit 'Enter' | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1437037 | 2017-07-11 07:03:00 | Did you do a restart after running c-cleaner? run c-cleaner again and see what happens Are you running the latest Firefox build? |

| 1437038 | 2017-07-11 07:17:00 | Something to try ,Download another Firefox Browser so you have 2 of them(leave it clean) just to see if a add on or something else is causing a problem See if the www.independent.co.uk loads on the new build |
