Hi all,

Had this problem for about a week now. The page just hangs and I have to use task manager to shut down the screen. Then get the option to send a report to Microsoft.

I've run both anti virus and spyware programs and everything looks clean.

Any ideas, it's version 6 by the way.

Thanks

    Have you got enough memory?

    Only reason I ask is because my current PC has lack of memory and sometimes "hangs" or just chucks me out of IE.

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    Just had the same problem now with a page. So I opened up another session, selected the same page and it loaded fine. It's almost as if it's not quite laoding the page correctly. It's happened on this site quite a few times too.
  • Are your connection speeds ok? If not, the page could be timing out on you, and reporting this as an error.

I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    I'd try to re-install it first.

    Speeds are fine CS. Just done a PC pitstop check and fixed a problem with the cache. Fingers crossed that this was the fault.

    Thanks all for your replies though.
