IE Takes Forever to Start, Causes Hangups

[Guest]

I've been having a terribly annoying problem with IE and thought I'd post it
here:

Internet Explorer has been taking forever to load lately (i.e. within the
past few months). Occasionally, and with varying amounts of time, IE hangs
up altogether, along with whatever active processes I have at that time, and
I have to press Control+Alt+Delete thirty-odd times for the desktop to come
back. From then on IE functions normally. I have no clue what the problem
could be, even though I have run countless antivirus scans.

Desperation is the mother of this reply. I can't even post a question. When
I click "new", nothing happens. Obviously, my "reply" works fine. HELP!
(K.S., sorry for using this mechanism to get this question on the board).

Jeff,

The New button involves one extra tiny "popup" to allow you to specify
the type of post you are making. Perhaps you have a popup blocker
active that either needs tuning or should be temporarily disabled?


Good luck
