!. Zeroed the hard drive. 2.Reformatted. 3. Reinstalled Windows. 4.Updated MS. 5. Checked pages needed for opening problems. None found. Everything sprung open without pauses, hesitations or being unresponsive. 6. Turned off AntiVirus as suggested from another user. 7. Installed Latest and Final IE7. 8. After downloading and installing IE 7 the Help and Support Center page began acting up again with stalls and unresponsiveness. 9. Rans scans. 10. Used msconfig. 11. Safe Mode for System Restore. 12. Online Diagnostics done by MS and Dell no problems. 13. Online virus scans by Trend, Bitdefender and F-Secure. 14. Spyware scans. 15.So I uninstalled IE7 and all is well again. Another user warned me the IE7 was the culprit and they were so very right. This is so unfortunate. Can this be corrected? Thanks again for all the help. :-/ :-?
