Guest Chris D Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 With some regularity my Internet Explorer page seems to freeze up. It seems to always happen to the first page that's been opened, with any other Internet Explorer pages that are open not being affected. The page will not respond in any way and appear to be just frozen up. To close it I have to open up 'windows task manager'. I also often get a message from windows reporting a fault and asking if I'm happy to post a fault report, which I do. My system is fully up to date. Any suggestion on what problems I might have or how I could do some fault finding to find the problem. Regards....Chris

Always make sure your computer is virus/malware-free so you know you're working from a clean baseline. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware One of the main reasons for IE problems is incompatible/faulty add-ons so try running IE in no add-on mode. If the problems disappear, enable add-ons one at a time to find the culprit.
