Post: One website creates havoc with my computer. What can be
Posted by: done? Jan on 10/24/09
I am an administrator for our church website. When I go on
it to work, after about 10 minutes either Safari or
Firefox, whichever I'm using, freezes completely. I have to
force quit and restart about every 10 minutes. In fact it
isn't only that it freezes, the website plays havoc with my
computer. I took two days to dump preferences, use disk
utility, get mail back on line and it was working
perfectly. Last night I went on the website, and instantly,
the computer froze and I lost not only what I'd just posted
but an entire page of other information!
I've done enough testing now to know this only happens on
that website. First of all, is this even possible that a
website can do such damage? I'm on websites all day and
have never had anything like this. I post on chatboards
with no difficulty; no problem with Facebook. If it is
possible, then is there something I can do to fix this? I
love working on the website but I can't continue this way.
I wondered if this is a frequent enough problem that
someone might know a setting or some other adjustment that
needs to be made to my Mac to make it work.
I don't know if this is related to 10.6 or not because I
have only done the website since I installed Snow Leopard.
I have written the company who owns the site to see if they
know of anything, but this is really mystifying. It is
stunning what 5 minutes on the website will do to my
computer! It is almost completely inoperable until I dump
some preferences and do other things.
I will appreciate any insights you have about this problem.
