Hi - I can't figure out what is going on - IE keeps on freezing on me and i keep having to reboot every 10 mins.
It must be the computer I am working on as I have 2 and the other one works fine with IE v6.

Would anyone know what might be the problem and where I could post to get an answer/solution?

You have a few options, if you haven't tried them already.

Here's an article regarding IE 6 problems Although that shouldn't have anything to do with freezing.

You can try fixing it >Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs
Click Microsoft Internet Explorer then you should have 3 choices Try 'Repair Internet Explorer' , you'll have to restart your PC and run IE once.
If that doesn't work then at the same window choose Restore Previous Windows Configuration to go back to your previous version.

Also go to the Microsoft Site at
Here you can download and install bug fixes and patches

A quick longshot found on web.

Go into

Browsing
- uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions"

If no joy

Freezes are most often caused by video driver problems. Update to the
latest and greatest available for your video card, and try reducing
hardware acceleration at control panel, display, settings, advanced,
performance.
