im getting extremely agitated with my pc e-mail today. it must be my email. i keep trying to answer mylot from my e-mail, then every few minutes, it freezes says not responding. i try x ing it/escape, etc. and takes forever. then get back in and start again only to have it do it again. todays been bad. about 5 times now. so, its taking forever to check e-mail and mylot messages. Do you ever have days where your pc or a website just keeps freezing on you? what do you suppose is the cause?

I was in the middle of typing a response and it froze up and I couldn't get it fixed for about 5 hours. I just unpluged it and stuck my tonge out at it and went and watched TV and took a nap. I told my roommate to leave it alone that I had to fix he goes it is fine.until nothing would work. Dumb butt. I told you. So now I seem ok we will see. Have a great day.

Yes I have had days when email windows do just freeze on me. It is annoying to say the least when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and it takes for ever to get back started again.
The cause can be for a few different reasons:
Perhaps the website that is serving the email is having network difficulties.
Perhaps the server is getting overloaded.
If you have more than one window open at a time, doing several things at once, sometimes your processor can just get bogged or not enough RAM.
Another possibility is that your computer needs to be deframented.
Defragging often helps in this case or
Simply restart your computer.
Why this sometimes fix the windows freezing problem, I don't know. It just does sometimes.
I would definitely do a defrag. Go off line and defrag your computer. Depending on the size of your hard drive, it may take awhile.
Go to Start up to Programs and to accessories. I believe it is in system tools.
Good Luck.

Well, bunny...maybe your computer needs a bit of cleaning? Run a virus scan, a spyware scan, and give it a thorough cleaning. Clean out all the empty folders, duplicate files, temporary Internet files, cookies, and what nots. Then check if the performance improves. If it doesn't either your ISP sucks or you need to call in a technician.
Cheers and happy Mylotting

Er no. Never happened to me thank goodness. I have an Apple computer and it doesn't run the dreaded Windows. If a program should freeze all that I have to do is press the shutdown and relaunch and the program disappears and comes back again, not the whole computer. I think that freezing is simply too much information confusing the poor old computer. I know how it feels!

I haven't hand any problems today but yesterday my computer kept freezing up and not just on myLot but also on other sites. I do not know what causes it perhaps just a lot of traffic.

bunny,
I have been having the same problem. I do everything you said but no go. I get so frustrated. It must be something here causing this.
I sure hope someone answers your post with an answer.

i think most have the right idea. i think its due to the traffic on the net/sites at times.

Hi bunny! Happy holidays to you my friend! Yes, that does
happen sometimes when I am answering my emails from Yahoo.
I don't know if it is the Yahoo or Mylot. Sometimes it gets
very slow and then freezes and I lose what I just typed and
have to type it all over again. It can be very annoying!
It happens more often then I care for! I don't know why, but
I always answer from my emails anyway. I just hope that it
lets me finish without driving me too crazy!

My whole computer does that, sometime I want to throw it out the window. It even does it when I am MyLotting, it takes so long for it to finish doing anything. One of the users said her computer has the hiccups I don't know what mines got. It is fast one minute and the next it like the tortoise, in the tortoise and the hare.

There isn't any problem with the email... the problem is with your computer. There might be virus or malware/trojan on your pc.. try using a good antivirus software and scan your pc with spybot search and destroy (its a software for detecting spywares) I hope your problem will be solved after this..
Regards
