    Same here helen and I'm having to type as fast as I can ... :(

    intel? Microsoft's report sent me to the (SP2) site but a) I don't want it as I've heard it can be dodgy and b) it times out on dial-up ...

    any other suggestions or is my pc on its way to laptop heaven?

    It's never done it this often before :confused:

    I had had a similar thing while on this site. It says explorer is not responding and do I want to send an error report.

    Very strange 3 of us are having this problem.

    Does anyone have this on any other site? For me it is just this one.

    Scanned for virus' etc today

    Well it may be to do with IE as a seperate entity but updates will fix alot
    of know bugs, just try and get all the updates as they are vital to the
    stability of any PC.. Just let them dowload as its a must..

    Without critical updates there is no real starting point trying to fix
    a PC as the first thing any Tech person would ask is.. What Operating
    System and is it upto date..

    See what I mean :)

    P.S Its coincidence. :beer:
