Windows Live Hotmail & IE 7 freeze

[james1127]

When I am using Windows Live Hotmail, it freezes and status bar says "Downloading data

http://rad.live.com/ADSAdClient31.dll....."

or similar messages. At that time, if I click another tab on IE 7, that site also freezes and cannot close IE 7.

I emailed this issue to Windows Live Hotmail support, but they say it is related to Windows Internet Explorer 7 and don't know the solution.

I did the followings: 1) Un/Reinstalled IE 7 using Add/Remove Programs 2)Windows Update for IE 7
3) Adobe Flash Player 9 downloaded
