Every now and then when i goto certain pages IE will hang for a certain amount of time and then load the page. Like for example right now i went to and searched on Asus and it hanged. Is this a known problem? If so how do i fix it?
 
Hiya

Lets try a general cleanup first

Go to Tools | Internet Options. General tab. Under Delete Files, delete offline content. Also, clear the History.

Content tab, under AutoComplete, clear Forms and Passwords.

Advanced tab, under Browsing, look for Enable Insta on Demand. Untick.
Under Security, look for Empty Tempory Internet... Tick.
Apply and OK

Go to Find Files and type in cookie. When found, open the folder, and delete all the cookies found. You won't be able to delete the .dat file found.

For this, go here and get the Spider:


Go to Run and type MSINFO32
On the left choose Software Enviroment, then Startup Programs. Copy/paste the list here.

Also, go here and download AddAware
Download and run, ensuring that Deep Registry scan is enabled. Remove all except any references to Web3000 or new.net. If you're unsure, copy/paste the list here.

Also, whilst you're there, download and install RefUpdate to get the latest updates. Just click Connect.

Also, you may want to try a repair:

Control panel | addRemove. Doubleclick Microsoft Internet Explorer. Choose Repair, apply and restart.

Do you have a DSL connection? If yes then it may not be
IE6 but DHCP. Look at joegz

im running a cable modem, routed with linux, THere is no DHCP, and it only does it on my computer, none of the others on the network
 
Spent a merry few days with this problem myself, since upgrading to IE6 and installing latest Win2000 service packs last week.

The solution (in my case) was to uninstall the "Google" toolbar that was carried over from the previous IE5.5 installation.

Subsequently tried reinstalling google toolbar and the problem comes straight back. Remove it again and all is hunky-dory.

Pretty conclusive as far as I'm concerned!

I'd also be wary of other IE "functionality enhancing" add-ons.
 
Thanks Hipstick, that was my problem too. Peter Meachem
