Internet Explorer7 Freezes

May 1, 2008

When I try to open a web page it will occasionally open withoput any problem

but often it just takes ages with the little circle in the toolbar indicating

it is waiting for the website to respond/and at the bottom it might say 1

item remaining. Sometimes it will take 5 or 6 minutes to open sometimes I

just give up, or retry and get straight in. Certain pages are more

troublesome than others but I get trouble with most sites at one time or

another. It is pretty chronic now.

I've had this issue for several months now. I don't remember downloading

anything prior to the problem-too long ago I'm afraid. sometimes it's worse

than others but most of the time quite bad.

I've got a Dell Dimension desktop XP2 home edition. I have tried disabling

all add ons but it made no difference. Do regular spyware checks and virus

scans. Nothing unusual showing up. It has got a real pain and i'm just

wondering if there is away to rectify without re-installing windows-my next

stop. really appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

P.S. May have trouble getting back quickly,as this site gives me lots of

grief opening up pages!

How much RAM memory?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance

Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With

the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes

before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures

for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

A problem area could over many Add Ons. In Internet Explorer select

Tools, Manage Add-Ons, Enable or Disable Add-Ons. Disable the lot and

observe for effect. You can add them back one by one to see whether

there is a particular one responsible for the "freeze".

Hope this helps.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Try disabling add-ons.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Hello Gerry. Did as you asked.

Here's the data you asked for:

RAM 1024MB

Commit:

Total 399280

Limit 2520336

Peak 694900

There were only 2 add ons. Disabled then but made no diference. I have done

that before to no avail. Thanks.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

How long does the freeze last? What is the Peak after it has ended?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With

the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes

before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures

for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Check the hard drive for bad sectors by running chkdsk /f /r

You need to be aware that running chkdsk can take hours

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and

click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents

Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it

is more informative.

anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall

(if any)? Were any of these active (running) when you installed IE7 or any

IE7 updates?

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Hi Gerry. Crazy computer. Today it seems to opening most pages OK but for the

first time i could not get my Home page 'Google Search' open. I tried a few

times but it didn't want to know-left it for about 5 or 6 minutes each time.

The peak was on 687 400 all the time. I did see that the CPU usage just sat

between 0-4% whilst trying to open Google-but went up to 50-60% when opening

up any other pages.

I ran the command as you said. chkdsk/f/r it checked files indexes and

volume(i think?) and then just closed at the finish-so I presume that means

Disk is OK.

Here's the copy of the VolumeC that you asked for in Defragment:

Volume (C:)

Volume size = 146 GB

Cluster size = 4 KB

Used space = 20.18 GB

Free space = 126 GB

File fragmentation = 12 %

Free space fragmentation = 0 %

File fragmentation

Total files = 48,388

Average file size = 625 KB

Total fragmented files = 3,426

Total excess fragments = 41,856

Average fragments per file = 1.86

Pagefile fragmentation

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Sorry PA Bear. I didn't realise there was an IE section.

I have been using Zone Lab Free version Firewall for as long as I can

remember.

AVG free version Anti Virus for well over a year. I do believe they were

both running when I upgraded to IE7 and have been since. Thanks.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Hi Bear

Is this a performance issue or Internet Explorer problem? It could be

either. Given that all persons raising problems here get an answer ( not

something that can always be said for the

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup) then posting here

might no bad thing. If they cannot be resolved here then you can rest

assured they get encouraged to try the relevant specialist group.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Paul

You did not answer these questions. You should be able to gather more

information from Task Manager. With the Processes tab open select View,

Select, Columns and check the boxes before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual

Memory size. What are the figures for the 6 processes using the largest

amounts?

The Disk Defragmenter Report tells me that, although you have plenty of

free disk space, you have a lot of large multi-fragmented files. Those

listed are a number of system restore points and temporary files in the

"Transcoded Files Cache". However, those listed in the Disk

Defragmenter report is only part of the story. There are a lot more

smaller fragmented files not listed.

The "Transcoded Files Cache" is a phenomena I have not encountered

before. Googling reveals posts where the problem was that the files in

the cache were occupying considerable disk space where more free disk

space was needed. However, you have more than adequate free disk space

but I suspect they are a cause of the multi-fragmentation of files.

Removing them and following up with regular maintenance should improve

system performance.

I attach an interesting link explaining more about the "Transcoded

Files Cache".

http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-xp-support/75396-transcoded-files-cache.html

Have you tried using cCleaner to clean up your disk?

An alternative to Disk CleanUp is cCleaner (freeware) which does a more

thorough job than Disk CleanUp. Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user

profile, whereas cCleaner only needs to be run once. There is an option

on the Applications page whereby you can check a box for Media Player. I

think this may remove the contents of the "Transcoded Files Cache" but

you should check that it does.

http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

http://www.ccleaner.com/

With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you

should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also

offers backup before removal.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form

History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has

irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's

recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so

that they can easily be re-entered.

Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

cCleaner does not remove restore points. You need to use Disk CleanUp

for this. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk

CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest

System Restore point.

These measures will improve system performance. The question is will it

be enough to remove the "freezes"? I have some more questions.

What is your CPU processor speed?

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Sorry Gerry. Forgot that bit. Here it is.

Processes using most memory:

svhostexe30940

exploreexe23484

vsmon23116

ieexplore16452

zlclient6012

spoolsv.exe5524

I do have CCleaner and use it occasionally.

My speed is 2.8 Mhz. i have AVG anti virus and Adaware and AVG anti spyware.

Had spybot until a couple of weeks ago and got rid because it wouldn't update.

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

What exact version of Zone Alarm is installed?

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start

IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

add-ons).

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which

automatically returns you to IE6), (b) all toolbars and © all third-party

behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

Bear

A problem area could over many Add Ons. In Internet Explorer select

Tools, Manage Add-Ons, Enable or Disable Add-Ons. Disable the lot and

observe for effect. You can add them back one by one to see whether

there is a particular one responsible for the "freeze".

The previous paragraph was included in my first reponse to the OP. He

replied six hours before your first post to say disabling them had no

effect.

Re: Internet Explorer7 Freezes

I think it'd be best to begin your troubleshooting by starting IE7 in No

Add-ons mode before going to such extremes right off the bat, Gerry. Also

see the much more drastic http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
