IE keeps freezing

[Guest]

When I go to a site like EBay or TraderOnLine and I click on a picture to see another picture, my browser frquently freezes. I can't get it to do anything, yet when I click on the Task Manager, it does not indicate IE is "Not responding"...it tells me it is running. I have to then click "End Now" several times to get it to close. When I open the browser again, go to a different site, I get similar performance...lock up. It also happened to me frequently on this Microsoft site when I tried to sign in with my Passport account...most frustrating...help! If you need more information, please ask me and I'll provide all I can. Thanks.

Hi werehavingfun

When I go to a site like EBay or TraderOnLine and I click on a
picture to see another picture, my browser frquently freezes. I can't
get it to do anything, yet when I click on the Task Manager, it does
not indicate IE is "Not responding"...it tells me it is running. I
have to then click "End Now" several times to get it to close. When I
open the browser again, go to a different site, I get similar
performance...lock up. It also happened to me frequently on this
Microsoft site when I tried to sign in with my Passport
account...most frustrating...help! If you need more information,
please ask me and I'll provide all I can. Thanks.

The address given below does not work.

Define "does not work". You are using the web interface to newsgroups
so the link may not appear as a link and you may have to copy and paste it
to an IE Address bar. In fact, now that it has been prefixed by >>
it doesn't appear as a clickable link even to OE users.

Is it typed in correctly??

Yes. Stripped of the >> it "works" fine.

BTW in some cases linked sites may be temporarily unavailable.
Then what you can try is using a Google web search by prefixing
the URL with link: to find pages which link to the one you want.
Then click on one of the <Similar pages> links to see if you
can find one which lists the page you want. Then it is quite possible
that you will be able to click on that item's <Cached> link and thus
be able to see the page you want, even if it is not currently available.

THanks.
