RE: sytem hangs/freezes

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for suggestions.

Let me say I did not know this was completely volunteer. I assume Microsoft
monitored and somewhat directed the help for thier software.

Please note my responds to PA Bear as I have found a work around but it's
not really a long term fix. I hope Microsoft and Norton can work something
out to help the consumer here.

Suggestion 1 - Norton's have released a fixed for their product to go with
SP3. Update your product.

Suggestion 2 - Your issues do not appear to relate to Windows Update
therefore it may be more appropriate to post to a more appropriate newsgroup.

Suggestion 3 - If you're not happy with the volunteers who try to assist on
the newsgroups, then the alternative is paid support.

Well, that's a lot of help. I was having these problems before I downloaded
SP3. I have had a Norton product on my machine since 1991 when I got my
first computer. Are you employed by Microsoft to help people fix problem
with Microsoft products?

I have a problem. Are you able to help or is it you won't?

I have recently had frequent freezes in Outlook and IExplorer. I have
downloaded and installed SP3 no change. I have Norton 360 and even went to
them to get a PC Tune up in hopes of clearing the problem. I have no viruses
and the Norton has fixed everything possible. Nothing has helped.

The Outlook freezes sometimes but the internet hangs everytime I go to
ancestry.com and view images of the census records. I get an error message
"not responding". Usually ccsvrhst is having trouble closing.

It's getting where I can't bearly pickup my emails and searching the
internet is pretty iffy. Ancestry.com is "no way". These are about 90% of
computer use and I do my billing via Quickbooks (thankfully no problems here)
but concerned and frustrated by the problems.

Can y'all help?
