Internet Explorer freezes when clicking on a link...

m0dcm — Wed, 13 Apr 2005 22:26:50 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I didn't know where to put this Thread, so I thought I'd give it a try here.

The problem I am having is with Internet Explorer freezing when I try to access a link to either a website, or to a wallpaper on the Sony website.

Has anyone else had this problem, if so how is it fixed? or shall I just use my System Recovery discs and just re-insall everything?

Cheers in advance....

Have you checked for any spyware?

In addition, do a thorough Virus Scan to eliminate any hidden little parasitic digital germs...

How about delete all the history, temporary internet file including offline content and cookies?

Hi Guy's,

Well, after a virus scan, deleting the temporary internet files and cookies, still the same thing happened. So at 8am U.K. BST time, this morning for the 3rd recovery in succession, in 2 weeks of owning the machine, I did a complete recovery with the CD's I created.

I told it this time to recover both partitions, not just the C: partition, and as of yet, things are working smoothly, touch wood!

I have noticed a quite a few people have had this problem on other forums, but they had done the same with the temporary internet files and then virus scan, and their PC's also showed the same problem, so a format cleared it up for them.

I run NIS 2005 on a 4mb Broadband Connection, which is all wireless, and the router at the other end has a NAT firewall built into it, and I've never had any infections of any sort breaking through the barriers yet, but then there's alway's the first time!!

Many thanks for all the comments, and I will let you all know if this problem shows it's ugly head again....

Also use Firefox, the best browser out there.

LOL, VAIO FAN

Firerfox is perfect if you need a Browser which you can give a personal touch. And Firefox is not so a big targed like IExplorer for Hackers. So, you would have more security too. For more information look at the Mozilla site.

Well, everything is still working!
All this talk about Firefox and other browsers is really a little bizzare!
Just like Netscape, most of these browsers cannot view frames on a website, or moving grafix, I know this as I also run Linux on another PC, and the websites I create, don't display correctly on the browser that comes with Mandrake.

So I've had to do a little jiggery pokery, just to get it the sites to work. Why oh why can't they all show the same as the IE series of browsers?

I think I'll go back to my VB.NET, and write my own browser make it look better than IE 6
