internet explorer 6.0 stalls

[Guest]

on internet explorer only. i use windows 98 2nd edition (i've reinstalled it
and it still does the same thing). when opening a new window the window will
stall for about 45 seconds and then it will conect to the web page of choice.
this happens when i first open a page or if i'm in the middle of opening a
page. the rest of the computer works just fine at the same time of the
stall. i do not have this problem with netscape. i can even be downloading
something and try to open a new window and it will stall and my download will
continue. also, the stall happens around every 10th time i open a new page.
i also use a dial up. my computer is a compaq and they can not help.

Hi,
First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF
folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

Then, check for malware. Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware,
Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

Do you have an unused network card installed on your computer? If so,
disable it via device manager.

Hot off the presses - HTML pages only partly appear, HTML pages do not
appear or network stops responding

Also, the following settings can sometimes help (my grateful thanks go to
Steve Winograd for his advice and guidance about the following - you can
find Steve's FAQ site here - an excellent source of Networking information
faq):
http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm

Add an IP address to your network card (ie 10.1.1.1) or (192.1.1.1) and the
subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Those on a network may prefer to use 192.168.0.1 and subnet 255.255.255.1

To do that go to "Control Panel" then "Network" then "TCP/IP->you Network
card" then "properties" then "Specify an IP address"

If you are running Win2K, then the following steps are used to assign the
static IP to the Local Area Connection:

1. Open Network Connection, open Local Area Connection
2. In the Local Area Connection, click Properties, then double-click
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
3. Click "Use the following IP Address" checkbox
4. Enter the IP Address 192.1.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
5. Click OK

The precise settings can be affected by your particular system's setup.
Please check out Steve's site or post a query to one of the Microsoft
networking newsgroups if the above does not help.
