238461 2004-05-22 05:59:00 What OS are you using?

What other programmes are running at the time. Have you made any changes to your software lately?

Is there any activitey like excessive HDD access (thrashing) or internet activity or is it just stone cold locked?

Anti-virus and Adaware programmes upto date and scanned recently?

You could try going to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and do a repair of IE. It's worth a try at least.

238462 2004-05-22 09:56:00 Thanks Murray,
Os is win 98 SE. there are no other apps running. There is no other internet activity or traffic
As soon as the 3rd window is opened, then its all locked up and I need to ctrl, alt, del to see task mgr..which shows I.E not responding. All i can do is end task.
Antivirus and ad aware all up to date and scanned. Also use zonelabs firewall.
I.E has the latest critical updates etc
I have tried repair as suggested but didnt fix.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

238463 2004-05-23 00:02:00 whats your pc specs? cpu? ram? etc..

check how much space the temp internet files are set to use. to large a setting causes a few problems. suggest keep it down to under 40 meg.

238464 2004-05-23 01:10:00 It wouldn't hurt to try Jim B's usual remedy:

In Internet Explorer go to Tools\Internet Options

1/ On the General tab press "Delete Files" then tick "Delete All Offline
Content" then press "OK" . Now press "Delete Cookies" then "OK" .

2/ On the Security tab press "Default Level" then press "Apply"

3/ On the Privacy tab (IE6 only) press "Default" then press "Apply"

4/ On the Programs tab press "Reset Web Settings" remove the tick from
"Also Reset My Home Page" press "Yes" then "OK" then "Apply

5/ On the Advanced tab press "Restore Defaults" then press "Apply" then "OK" .
