internet problem

bladebrew

hey not sure if this is the right place for this,,having a problem with certain websites,if you select it in the address bar its just says "oops this link is broken" it has an option to view cached page on google or to search the actual website on google, neither of which is much use,

its also not showing certain pictures on websites it just has a x in red up in the corner?
any idea what could be causing this,

pleas feel free to move this if its in the wrong forum:)

What browser are you using? Internet Explorer? Chrome?
What version of Windows so you have (I'm assuming you a have Windows since you posted there)
More info needed!

EDIT: i sometimes get that broken link thing on Boards when i'm using Chrome

Just from what you described, it sounds like maybe your internet connection is not stable. What type of broadband connection do you have (3G, telephone line etc etc), assuming you have broadband?

Might be worth ruling out browser issues. Download firefox, www.getfirefox.com and see if the same things happen.

it could be that u missing the plugins...... try firefox and if u do get messages to install add-ins..then install it either manually or automatically thru firefox.

hope this resolves your prob.

This would normally indicate that a page that no longer exists. It would still appear in Google until they work out the page has been deleted.
