Explorer hangs for a while and then just returns without opening the new
site or pic

Hi Andrew - Go to Start|Run and enter "regsvr32 urlmon.dll" (without the
quotes). After you get a Success message, re-boot. If that doesn't work,
then check out the following article and do the additional steps outlined
there:
