Any time I click on a link, it times out.. yet i can copy
the links address and put it in the address bar..

any ideas why?

Hi,
First make sure that IE is the default browser.

Less likely, but it may be a malware issue. Work through the solutions
(CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
