I Administer 11 Retail stores. Every Store has 1 computer running Win 2000 Pro and 3 computers running Win XP Pro. They opt to use MSN Messenger and Hotmail for their messenging. But 90% of the time they open Hotmail in IE 6.0 on the Win XP machines, it hangs. The IE window shows no active graphics. You can click on the Start Menu, Show the Desktop, or click on a Word Shortcut on the desktop, and they ALL work great. But if you click on the IE window for Hotmail, it is hanging. You can wait 5-15 mins for the page to finish loading (stop hanging) or End the Task. If the user opens hotmail on the same LAN with the Win 2000 Pro machine, it works perfect.

Any suggestions? What would be making the XP machine hang? Is there a setting that I am missing?

Has this happend for anyone else?
