I have IE6 on a Windows XP system. I've had this system
working fine for 18 months. The past few days I cannot
get IE6 to stop "hanging" after every page is displayed.

"Hang" means I cannot click on any object and get a
response within the IE window. I wait for 20 seconds
then all is working fine.

Even when I am "Working Offline" and just looking at my
own C: files, IE6 will hang 20 seconds after displaying
the page.

I have tried the following:
- Stopped all firewall and popup blocking software
- Disabled my modem in the system (I am using a cable
modem)
- Used Window Updater to update all Windows OS updates
including installed Windows XP SP1 and IE SP1

Anyone have any other ideas????
Thanks!!
