Browser Freezing

[NBee]

Hi,

I am running XP with IE6. Suddenly a strange thing is happening. When I am browsing and I click a link which opens a new window, the window opens but the page does not download. Both browsers freeze, and I have to use Task Manager to kill the session.

This happens on any site, every time. It's very frustrating.

Please, any ideas?

Hope fully it may offer more clues if I say that I just installed Netscape and it runs just fine.

The problem is just with IE....

I have just had the same problem and I had to go to internet options>advanced tab and disable that use java sv 1.4.0-01
for applet thing under the JAVA SUN heading. Is it just one particular site your visiting?? If so this may help!

Nice idea, but nope it wasn't that.

More ideas please....

Reinstall IE6, it was probably corrupted when you installed XP.

No, it's been running fine for months, it's just suddenly happened...
