Title: IE7 Freezes up and or hangs up between Tabs
Post by: MD507 on July 14, 2008, 10:53:06 AM

I have IE7 and when I have more than one tab (example) yahoo website, NFL webite, MSNBC.com website up. It freezes or hangs when I switch from one tab to another tab at times. I'm not sure why, does anyone know why? I have Windows XP 2nd edition

How much memory does the computer have? How big is the swap file? Is the problem only with certain websites or all? Try to reset IE: From within IE>Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab>Reset; see if problem persists. If OK, add back add-ons, one at a time.

Download and use Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. See if problem persists.

Post back and let us know results.

Best of luck!
