BELGIUM & HOLLAND ANTIQUES ONLINE

Hi

My IE6 freezes randomly, my startpage no problem but visiting any other
pages is Russian Roulette, one time all works perfect, the other time IE
freezes... using winXP home, all patches installed from windows update, did
even a complete re-install of IE6, still same problem... Desperate!

These days most of us are recommending HijackThis to identify and assist in
the removal of these bad guys. **Post your files to any of the following

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

I have the same problem and can not find anyone that
knows why. I have gotten all patches but no help. Let
me know if you find someone that knows why and how to fix
it. Thanks.

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
