| 82786 | 2002-09-24 22:22:00 | Hi Im having trouble with IE, it keeps freezing if i have 3 or more windows open, sometimes 2 will do it. I am running windows me (thats probably half the problem). As soon as i open a browser window it seems to slow the whole system down. This is a new problem that just started, i have done defrags, scan disks, check disks and virus scans. I cant update my virus scanner as trying to freezes the dam thing. Any help would be greatly appericated and its a real pain in the ass and is stopping me from getting my assignments done. Thanks Aaron |

| 82788 | 2002-09-24 23:16:00 | firstly check how many programs you have got running in the background. check for spyware. give adaware a run. check IE cache size(temporary internet files). you want it no bigger than 40meg. on a slower system (i have no idea how fast your pc is) try 20meg. it might also a good idea to clean out the cache and clean out the index dats, see the FAQ's(top of page) for that one. what virus scanner do you have? |

| 82789 | 2002-09-24 23:17:00 | Hi Its IE 6. thanks |

| 82790 | 2002-09-24 23:20:00 | You could either try to repair IE6 (from Add?remove) or ditch it all together and install Netscape7 which is a very good browser, or even Opera, which people seem to rave about. I had IE6 on my system, and its a load of cr*p BALDY:-) |

| 82791 | 2002-09-24 23:28:00 | nah....netscape sucks :p go OPERA :^O but really changing browser is not going to fix they problem if other apps such as antivirus are crashing to. repair optoin would be worth a try. have you recently installed something? |

| 82792 | 2002-09-24 23:34:00 | yeah i did install a couple of programs but have removed them. thanks for your help | axel (2015) | ||
| 82793 | 2002-09-24 23:47:00 | Run a registry cleaner first (see the FAQ on the registry - link top right of this window) and if that doesn't fix it, do a repair of IE6. This is done via Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Internet Explorer. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 82794 | 2002-09-24 23:48:00 | >>> Run a registry cleaner first That is, after you've tried tweak'e's suggestions. |

| 82795 | 2002-09-24 23:58:00 | what programs did you install? sometimes they leave bits behind or install aware/spyware as well. also some install parts into IE and can cause a bit of havoc. | tweak'e (174) | ||
