I am hoping someone can help me. Whenever I open up 10 IE windows, the
windows stop working. I can't open any of them, and I lose the capability of
copy and paste. I am running windows XP and IE 6.0. I have 4 Gig of Ram.
Is there some setting that I can check to see if it is set up correctly. Any
help would be appreciated....

Thanks.
 
Hi,
First... can't hurt... Clear the Temporary Internet Files and set the size
of the Temporary Internet Files folder to 50-100 MB.

Then, it's likely that a browser add-on or another program is causing this-
possibly legitimate-
possibly malware.

[XP SP2] From IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable all non-microsoft add-ons.
Re-enable them one at a time until the problem returns and you've found the
incompatible add-on.
[IE6 Non SP2] Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third-party
browser extensions." If either of these helps, you still need to find the
troublesome program. BHO or add-on.
ToolbarCop from http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm will help identify
and remove add-ons.

Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers,
security, toolbars and other add-ons for IE, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at
any program that might be interfering with IE. You may have to reconfigure,
reinstall, or not reinstall, a program. Turn on the Windows Firewall (from
Control Panel or Security Center) before disabling a third-party firewall.

If not caused by a legitimate program, see these sites for help with malware
(adware, spyware, hijackers, etc.)
