When I'm browsing normally, I can't go more than like 5-10 minutes before the
browser just freezes up on me. I've tried clearing all my cookies and temp
files. Any other ideas?

here is the error report thingy:

szAppName : iexplore.exe szAppVer : 6.0.2900.2180 szModName : hungapp
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000

And sometimes when I shut down my computer, I explorer requires extra time
and I need to wait for it, is that normal?
 
Jonathan,
You do not say which operating system you are using but with XP, when IE 6
went stupid on me, (it kept closing with an error and sending off so many
reports to MS that I must have filled a server or two). I had similar
problems to you, crashing, slow loading of new pages and very slow shut
down. I used

Start > Run

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

I will not say all my troubles went away, but the IE6 ones did!

Jonathan,
I should also have said to make sure that you cleared out any and all
scumware that may have caused the problmes, adaware and spybot are two good
ways to clean the system. Do make sure that you obtain the correct versions
and not some of the dodgy knock off programs that can make the problem not
cure the problem.

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Malware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:

(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

If nothing there helps, please post back to this thread.

Blimey, that works!

My explorer kept freezing up and although I had not realised, was slower
than before. Now it runs much faster and problem is gone.

What does it do? How does it do it? Thanks very much.
