Internet Exporer not responding?

10 years ago

I do get this message occasionally, but when I go to Ancestry.com it happens a lot. Yes I do have the paid version of Ancestry---and am trying to do research and have just updated the tree from my cousin regarding the Ormsby side which is very complete. I have gone on the site before, but never have I run into this problem. Could it be that I am not using Internet Explore as my prime program? Right now I am using Firefox (hope the spelling is right?
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Marie

When the problem occurs in IE, can you get there in Firefox? If yes, then it's an IE issue. If no, it could be an ISP problem...DNS problem...the site is down problem...or something else.

When I discover a site doesn't work quite right in IE, I press the ALT key, Tools, Compatibility View - and try adding it to the list.

I purchased a Bosch front load washer from Abe's of Maine a few weeks ago. New Jersey to Los Angeles. The trucking company called three days ahead and gave me a four hour window for curbside delivery. I used the cheapest shipping option. They arrived 15 minutes early. Took 8 business days total. The two deliverymen brought the washer to the side porch maybe 30 feet into my property.

I'm on win8.1 with IE11.. that's where it shows here. IE has had compatibility view for a few versions now. May be in different locations - with windows there's usually several ways to skin the cat.

Here is a link that might be useful: Compatibility View
