UK Amazon Kindle Forum discussion

Any time I go the amazon website, guaranteed before I get a chance to look at even 1 book the thing freezes on me and I get an alert to say that Chrome has become unresponsive and I can either kill the pages or wait. Why is this happening to me? How do I fix it?

Try clearing your cache:

Tools > Settings > Settings > Show advanced settings > Clear Browsing Data.

Change the option at the top to 'the beginning of time'.

Tick all the boxes.

Click clear browsing data.

Took forever, I must have had a ton of browsing data. Off to Amazon I go for the moment of truth

It didn't kill my pages this time but I did get a shockwave plugin error. It was unresponsive and when I clicked to end it I got another message saying it had crashed

Go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall Adobe Shockwave.

Done, and I also removed a few other obsolete programs I had. Amazon still isn't working though

At least it seems to be only Amazon is being unresponsive now and its not killing all my other open pages

Hmmm.

Try disabling any Chrome extensions you have installed.

Link up the page that is crashing, I use Chrome at work.

Failing that, it might be an idea to uninstall Chrome and download it again.

It's just the amazon site that seems to do it, once I click onto a book to look at it.

And how do I know if I have any Chrome extensions?

You can check your extensions by going Tools > Settings > Extensions.

Oh I just have SaveAs

I've found over the last week Chrome has been getting killed by a lot of pages. Maybe it's a Chrome thing?

Amazon's been playing up for me today and I'm using firefox. it's not displaying pages properly, ie, no images. So, I don't know whether Amazon are having issues.

Mine seems to be sorted :o)

It might have been uninstalling the shockwave, cause right enough I probably needed a reboot.

Well, you'll no doubt be pleased to hear that all websites are working superbly for me, on every single browser available on my super duper woppsy daisy PC.

Show off! ;)
