Hello all.
Once in a while, I have an issue with IE6 freezing up shortly after
opening. Sometimes, the whole screen will not load and it freezes.
Other times, I click on links on the screen after it fully loads and
it freezes up from there.

When this happens, I do a system restore, and it usually works.
Tonight, it took a whole heck of a lot of system restores. I am not
sure the restores worked or not, but my computer is working.

Does anyone have any idea on why this happens occassionally and what
i can do to prevent it from happening again?

Thanks.
Dave
