Sites like hotmail, Iplayer and facebook not working

[metalheaduk]

Hey,

 

Problem 1.) I cant use Windows Hotmail (website), BBC Iplayer or facebook properly. When I go into my inbox and see messages, when I click on the email it doesnt open. The mouse changes from the pointer to the hand, indicating a link, but when I click it,l it does nothing. If I double click the email address and/or email title just highlights. Im currently using a mobile hotmail site to access my emails.

 

Facebook also is playing up. I dont use facebook persoanlly, but my mum does in the morning to play some games on there she cant play on her laptop (due to mouse pad thing). She cant access friends list and more.

 

With Iplayer, I cant see the video or the download button.

 

Iv recently installed 'Ad muncher' to remove ads from sites. The problem started around the time of installing this. Iv deactivated it and even uninstalled it and yet the problem continues.

 

Problem 2.) When I open a new tab (Google chrome & IE) they usually take a while to load (just sits there for about 30 seconds to 1 min without loading). If im opening a link from a website then it loads straight away, but if I open a new tab and load a bookmark or type in the web address (BBC football as an example) its takes its time. Iv had this problem for months and just accepted it.

 

Any ideas? Iv reinstalled the latest java and flash player, emptied my cache & deleted history, virus scanned with Avast! and even done a cleanup and defrag. Im using Windows 7 (tab problem also appeared on vista previously) and Google chrome is my main browser, although the problems exist in IE, FF and their up to date. Iv done all system updates.

 

Any reason for it?

 

Thanks,

James.
