Internet explorer stops responding when I try to visit a
web page that previous was visited and stored as offline
web page. I need to know where those web pages are stored
on my computer in order to delete them manually. Probally
this offline web page file is corrupted. It is not in the
temp folder.

Click to expand...

Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
 
Thanks for the reply. I have managed to solve the problem
by deleting the index.dat file in my user profile under
content.ie5. This can only be done when you log in as
another user. This file is automatically recreated. Since
I see a lot of posts of not responding IE, I think it can
be a fix for others too.
