Salix Forum hangs on Acer Aspire 5070
Posted: 23. Feb 2017, 08:59
Hey guys,
Got a new (old) laptop from a friend: Acer Aspire 5070. Installed XFCE 14.1, but it wouldn't connect to the Internet. Reverted to 13.37 and it seems to run fine... except for a few glitches. The first and most annoying is that logging into this forum, and navigating from page to page is impossibly slow. It hangs for almost a minute, maybe more.
I am currently posting this from my phone. I reset Firefox to default, so there are no add-ons causing weirdness. I cleared caches and cookies and reset history, etc. So nothing there.
As a side note, I also notice that many of the 3D screen savers seem only partially rendered, leading me to suspect a graphics card or driver issue. But again, first things first.... I need to be able to navigate your site the way I can on all other sites. Facebook, YouTube, news sites, and so on. Only the Salix forum. ??? LOL
THOUGHTS??
