Internet Explorer on my desktop has suddenly become unresponsive. I can open
it, it still receives and displays websites, but will not respond to my
mouse. Any suggestions?

How much RAM.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

Any memory optimisers installed?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in
a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

The Commit Charges figures from Task Manager are less than your RAM. The
peak is large but the current figure quite reasonable. Are you running
some programmes e.g. graphics which create big demands for memory?

The Defragmenter Report suggests you have an HP Digital Image software.
What exactly is this?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Does your system become noticeably more responsive after rebooting?

Your system is badly fragmented.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

I did all you specified, then rebooted and tried again, but IE still freezes

How much RAM.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as
it is more informative.

Any memory optimisers installed?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear
in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close
Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the
body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting
from Event Viewer.

You did not answer this question.

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Have you tried disabling Internet Explorer Add Ons and observing for
effect. Add them back one by one and see what difference they make? In
Internet Explorer select Tools, Manage Add Ons, Enable or Disable Add
Ons.

Is your mouse wired or wireless?

I have noted that you have Norton Internet Security 2008. Do you have
any other anti-spyware programmes? Have you canned for spyware recently?

The Commit Charges figures from Task Manager are less than your RAM.
The peak is large but the current figure quite reasonable. Are you
running some programmes e.g. graphics which create big demands for
memory?
Click to expand...

I run Corel Draw and Photoshop.
The Defragmenter Report suggests you have an HP Digital Image
software. What exactly is this?
Click to expand...

It is a program for moving digital photos from camera to computer and
manipulating them.

Not that I have noticed.
Your system is badly fragmented.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp

select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,

Sorry about that. I had the figures, but forgot to include them:
Easyshare.exe 34,584K
explorer.exe 30,156K
crSvcHst.exe 78,816K
GoogleDesktop.exe 74,724K
msimn.exe 29,720K

Have you tried disabling Internet Explorer Add Ons and observing for

Click to expand...

I did try this early on, with no help, but these add ons have been in place
for a long time, and the problem just popped up out of the blue. There have
been no changes in my system for some time. No added software, no
upgrades,etc.
Is your mouse wired or wireless?

The mouse is wired.

Norton is the only one. Scanning is done on a regular basis, automatically.

How much RAM.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the
Performance Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit
and the Peak? Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report
and click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My
Documents Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk
Defragmenter as it is more informative.

Any memory optimisers installed?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot.
No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also
appear in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and
close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste
into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

What version of IE?

If it's IE7, does this behavior occur in the "no add-ons" mode?

You did not answer this question.

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the
boxes before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the
figures for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?
Click to expand...

Sorry about that. I had the figures, but forgot to include them:
Easyshare.exe 34,584K
explorer.exe 30,156K
crSvcHst.exe 78,816K
GoogleDesktop.exe 74,724K
msimn.exe 29,720K

Have you tried disabling Internet Explorer Add Ons and observing for
effect. Add them back one by one and see what difference they make?
In Internet Explorer select Tools, Manage Add Ons, Enable or Disable
Add Ons.
Click to expand...

I did try this early on, with no help, but these add ons have been in
place for a long time, and the problem just popped up out of the
blue. There have been no changes in my system for some time. No added
software, no upgrades,etc.
Is your mouse wired or wireless?
Click to expand...

The mouse is wired.
I have noted that you have Norton Internet Security 2008. Do you
have any other anti-spyware programmes? Have you canned for spyware
recently?

Norton is the only one. Scanning is done on a regular basis,

The Commit Charges figures from Task Manager are less than your
RAM. The peak is large but the current figure quite reasonable.
Are you running some programmes e.g. graphics which create big
demands for memory?

I run Corel Draw and Photoshop.

The Defragmenter Report suggests you have an HP Digital Image
software. What exactly is this?

It is a program for moving digital photos from camera to computer
and manipulating them.

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager.
With the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check
the boxes before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What
are the figures for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Does your system become noticeably more responsive after rebooting?

Not that I have noticed.

Your system is badly fragmented.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp
to Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the
latest System Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

I did all you specified, then rebooted and tried again, but IE still
freezes after is opens.



Hope this helps.

How much RAM.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the
Performance Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit
and the Peak? Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report
and click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My
Documents Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk
Defragmenter as it is more informative.

Any memory optimisers installed?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last
boot. No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate
which also appear in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and
close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste
into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

I'm using IE 6

In that case, does this behavior occur in Safe Mode with Networking?
Does this behavior occur with other browsers? Have you tried another
mouse?

The problem is mouse independent, and I have no other browser to test.
When I boot in Safe Mode with Networking, IE works just fine.

Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel and, on the Advanced tab,
uncheck "Enable thief-party browser extensions".
 
That did the trick. It appears that Norton's Anti-Phishing protection was
the culprit. Now, is there a way to turn on some of the OTHER extensions
that may not cause this problem?
