Re: Web site pages hanging

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I have IE6, not 7 (I have no intention of installing that - I tried it about
2 years ago and really messed things up - I uninstalled it and everything was
back to normal.) I do a full system scan every week and I have never had a
virus.

Will this work with IE6?

Run Internet Explorer 7 in 'No Add-Ons' mode:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No Add-Ons)

Alternatively, you can create a shortcut on your desktop with the
following target path:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

If no problems occur in 'No Add-Ons' mode, the problem is caused by one
of the add-ons that load together with Internet Explorer 7.

Problems with Internet Explorer can also be caused by the presence of
viruses or other malicious software.

I installed SP3 about 1-2 months ago. Several web sites since then would
hang for at least 10 seconds when I go to one of their pages, although
CNN.com is now the worst (and maybe the only one) I am having problems
with-it now goes over 10 seconds - it seems to not get out of it anymore. I
did get a Windows update last Friday and it seemed to have fixed it, but
yesterday, the problem came back. My Norton Internet Security was updated
yesterday. I turned everything off on that and went back to CNN.com and the
problem still exists, so I would have to assume that it isn't my problem.
When I try to close down the pages that get stuck, I get the Not responding
status and I cannot end the program. It just keeps opening another error
box. A few times I finally got the opportunity to report the error to
Microsoft and it indicated a 'hungapps' problem. I am thinking about just
uninstalling SP3, but I have no idea if that will cause me more problems.
FYI - I am not a PC guru at all. I can handle uninstalling SP3 or installing
a fix, but that is about it. Any suggestions or ideas?
