Hi Maureen and all, Maureen, you probably already said this and I missed
it, but did every other website work that you tried except airlingus?

Hi,
I really don't think recommending a system alteration like the below in this
particular situation is wise. Changing the page/swap file settings, or
indeed moving it, is a task which should only be carried out if the computer
user knows exactly what they are doing and what implications they may face.
A website which is not performing as normal is rarely down to a problem with
the user's Operating System settings.
- Could cookies have been turned off in the browser?
- Could JavaScript have been disabled?
- As suggested, check the security settings.
- Could there have been a problem with the Internet Service Provider (BT
Ireland)?
- Could there have been a problem with Aerlingus's site?
I guess what I'm trying to say is, eliminate the easy stuff before making
the major and sometimes potentially dangerous changes!
If a problem with browsing a website is on the user's side (and it rarely
is!), it's generally caused by a browser setting being changed. Most of the
time, it's usually a problem with the connection to the site (your ISP), or
the monkeys... like me, who build online applications!.. and nothing to do
with you, the user.
Cheers,
Tony
