Out of the blue, my IE 5.5 started to freeze up whenever I enter text in a text box, such as specific words in a search engine. I have since upgraded to SR-1 with no improvement. Once I enter text, the mouse pointer goes away, and for 15 to 40 seconds nothing happens and IE freezes. Then, there is a click as if finally the program registers the fact that I had just tapped the "enter" or "send" box. I have turned off all my virus software with no difference. Otherwise, IE works find with hyperlinks. My other application, word processing, excel, email, etc. work fine. It seems that something is causing a pause before I upload any information. But the freeze happens when I hit the "send" and before I get the audible click sound.
