I think maybe the modem could be slightly dislodged or damaged mmmmm........not likly as it would be happening on all web pages and all apps accessing the net. not to sure on this problem but a basic clean out /check over would be a good starting point. also you could try reseting tcp/ip. scan for spyware, check IE settings. clear out temp files and cookies. reset IE back to default. firewall ?? |

| 136685 | 2003-04-19 03:41:00 | Have already done everything you have suggested.....no firewall either. I was wrong in my first post, it just seemed to do it on those sites, but I have no found it is just completely random. |

| 136688 | 2003-04-19 04:16:00 | The first thing I would check is if there is any spyware running on you computer. Its the most common cause of IE crashes on the computers I see. Bring up Internet Options, goto the advanced tab, and uncheck "Enable 3rd party browser extensions". You will have to reboot for it to take effect. If that doesn't work, grab a copy of adaware from here (www.lavasoft.de), and let it remove any spyware it finds. |

| 136690 | 2003-04-19 04:25:00 | Do you have the latest patches for IE6 from windows update? that might fix a few things.. Failing that, get a real browser. I tried Opera 7 a few months ago, and haven't gone back since, except on for the odd occasion.. |

| 136691 | 2003-04-19 04:58:00 | I have already got all the latest windows updates. And why should I change browsers, the point is that it shouldn't lock up the computer and could be a hint to a larger problem. |

| 136693 | 2003-04-19 23:11:00 | IE6 can be very fussy , I use Opera 7 50% of the time as it is faster and has better memory management etc | kiwibeat (304) | ||
