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



Thank you "Singapore" and "Nass".
I tried all. Lavasoft, add-ons disabled ... IE 7 to IE6... Inclusively I've
changed antivirus. But the problem remains. When browsing IE6 or IE7 the
system frozes very oftenly obliging the computer to be reebooted.
Thank you again.

I have a Toshiba labtop for few months. Recently I changed the Internet

to reboot. I tried IE7 but the problem remains. Can I get some help?. Thks

Hi Ms,
Did you uninstalled any software for the Old ISP and set the New ISP as the
default Connection on your system?.
Try these steps:
1... First, try to clean up your caches, Internet files and delete cookies
by doing this:
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced.
Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.
Click on Connection Tab and make sure the new ISP is set as the Default
connection and the old one not there and if there remove it.
Click on LAN Settings, make sure there is NO Proxy settings is checked.

Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.
Then click on Programs Tab and click Manage Add-Ons and Disable all non
Verified Add-Ons (You should Renable them later one-by-one and see the
culprit and update it or remove it.
