Hi Jan,
Thankyou very much for the detailed response.
I will go threw your list and tick them off as I go. I do have zone alarm
pro, but even with that disabled my browsers still crash on particular sites.
By chance I found another one today:
www.wordtracker.com
Does the exact same thing, so its got to be something driver wise or indeed
that scripting as your described.
I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks very much for the help!
