Win XP Home 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090804-1435: SP3
I am on Version 7.0.5730.13 Internet explorer with just the blank google
search page, a while ago it kept hanging whilst loading and searching. So
after looking on the net I disabled Google toolbar and I.E was mostly itself
again
My problem now is whilst it loads much quicker (around 10/15 sec from start
off and a few seconds to open a new window), it keeps stalling and hanging,
amongst the faults are not loading a window and not loading after clicking
on a link, some times it just does not "see" the link at all when you hover
the curser over it, i.e the info does not show up in the bottom left hand
corner and therefore it does nothing if you click on the link (probable
because I.E has frozen in this window by then), and sometimes when clicking
on a link or opening a new window - it takes a few seconds to start loading
the green progress bars and then they load slowly one at a time until they
get to the middle (around 3/4 bars) and then stop. Sometimes when a window
has loaded although I can use the page, I notice that the green bars are
still showing - sometimes all of them but sometimes less than all, as though
it has not fully loaded.
earlier to day I visited my fav' climbing forum as normal "with
add-ons" browsed the forum from one sub-forum to the next, from thread to thread
for an hour, then on and off for ten minutes here and there during the
day - no real problems don't think it "hanged" at all. (also in OE sent a
few emails and recieved - perfect - never any probs in OE)
But!!!! Tonight I have opened two separate IE windows both running
"without" add-ons both with different web sites - both are other forums that
I use, both pages have "hung" they are both just sat there.
One has, in the bar at the bottom... a yellow sheild with an "!" in it then
"Waiting forhttp://www.*********( the last link I clicked on - the link to
my profile - this always hangs up ), and 5 green bars in the progress
window.
If I hover the pointy hand over another link then the URL at the bottom
changes to suit but does not move to the next page, when the curser is moved
away again the URL reverts back to as before.
Same on the other window - clicked on link to move to a sub forum and it
hung striaght away - same sheild ...... same 5 green bars. (other times when opening another IE window or clicking on a link (either in the google list or link on web page) the green bars appear and very slowly increase up to three bars and just stop
Whilst these pages are hung and with hardly any lights on my broadband router ( just one flicker now and then ), I have sent a test email to myself with a jpeg piccy attached, and it sent straight off - green lights on the Router going ten to the dozen.
Any ideas as to what is happening.
