IE freezes

[Guest]

When i click on links that run javascript (like open a popup window), IE
freezes and wouldn't let me open it. There are some sites that run javascript
like a javascript menu, the website will appear but the javascript parts are
now shown.
I check my internet options, everythings seem to be fine. Anyone has any
suggestions about this problem?

First thing to try would be to reinstall your scripting engines:

by the way, I wonder if my Internet Explorer is corrupted in someway because
this is another problem I have: My computer is not slow but whenever I cliked
on IE, it takes a while (at least 1 minute!!!) for the browser to appear but
in the Task Manager Process List, IE wass running...it just doesn't show!!
I think my computer is screwed up in someway!

As for the first issue you mentioned, another cause of this problem can be
video drivers that need updated/reinstalled. Go to the web site of your
video card manufacturer and get the latest drivers for your card. Common
fix with IE freezing, and causing you to have to reboot.

If links to new windows don't open:

Go to File Types (My Computer...Tools...Folder Options...File Types tab)
Scroll down to the URL: Hypertext Transfer Protocol file type, click to
highlight, click Edit, click Open, click Edit (slightly different with Me -
click to highlight, click Advanced, click Open, click Edit).

Application used: "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome
Use DDE box should be checked
DDE Message: "%1",,-1,0,,,,
Application: IExplore
DDE...not running: <blank>
Topic: WWW_OpenURL

Okay out.

And for your slow IE-to-open issue, it's probably that your TIF (cache)
folder and it's super-hidden index.dat file may be too big. Follow the
instructions here to totally delete that folder. It will be recreated as
empty when you restart:
