Background to my problem:
I play a lot of RPG games in my free time, sometimes all at once. Two of the games I’ve been playing, Sorcery Quest and Critter Forge, are at a website called Edgebee. I’ve been going there a long time- maybe a year. I have never had any problems worth mentioning.
A few weeks ago, I refreshed the screen for Sorcery Quest, and it loaded up to 99%. And it stayed at 99%. It just froze and refused to go on to the game.
I tried using Firefox, but Firefox was having issues of its own. As far as I know, it’s still not working. So I downloaded Google Chrome, and on Chrome it’s working just fine.
The thing is, I can get into the other Edgebee games, no problems whatsoever. But for some reason, Sorcery Quest freezes at 99% on IE.
Rebooting didn’t do squat, either.
I like having all my stuff in different tabs in one window, I like Internet Explorer despite its reputation (certainly the Chrome interface is driving me crazy), and as of now I have a useful idea that will only be useful if I can get SQ back on to IE.
I don’t even know what’s going on, let alone how to fix it.
No one?
This is the right forum, right?
Clearing your cache/Temporary Internet Files usually fixes most of these types of problems.
Otherwise, are you running any security add-ons in FF like Adblock, NoScript, etc.?
Before I go look up how to clear out a cache, is the stuff in there important? Because I don’t want to lose the settings and cookies I do like.
Sorry, maybe I should have been more specific.
No, you won’t lose any settings/cookies/passwords. The only effect will be something you probably wouldn’t even notice, which is that some webpages might take a tiny bit longer to load the first time you open them. After you load them the first time, they’ll go back to being cached and continue to load faster from then on.
To clear cache in FF, go to “Options” “Advanced” “Network” then click on “Clear Now.”
Close FF, then click on the Windows Start menu, click on “Computer” then right-click on your C: drive and select “Properties” and then “Disk Cleanup.”
In the window that appears, “Temporary Internet Files” should already be selected, among a few other things. You should be fine allowing it to clear those things that are selected by default, but you can deselect some of the other stuff if you have reason to, then click “OK” at the bottom.
Then try loading the webpage you were having problems with in FF.
I hope it worked!
