Hello. I've been having this problem for the past four days (since about
1:30PM 8/29/06). I had spoken with a friend of mine that was having the same
problem about a half an hour before it started for me (bad karma).
I'm running Windows XP, 1.59 GB, 384MB RAM, 66% free space, from an HP
laptop, with IE 6. Whenever I open an IE window, it works fine, but if I try
to open a window from the main browser window (say something like this
pop-up, or try to post a message on MSN groups, or right click a link in the
window and click open link in a new window) the new window will hang when I
try to close it. If I open a totally new, "fresh" browser window, the new
one will work fine, no problems, I can open as many new windows as I like,
but if I open a window from a window, the second window freezes, hangs, and
refuses to respond. When I go into my system stats, it will sometimes show
that the CPU has jumped to 100% but not always. When I right click on the
hanging window and click "Close," I have to use the "End Task" function,
which closes out the hanging window, and the one that it was created from.
As I said, this is a very recent problem, and I haven't installed any new
hardware/software to the computer since April, and it never gave me a problem
until August 29. I do run Windows Automatic Update which gives me my service
pack updates and what not. I have scanned my computer with Mcafee virus
scanner/spyware scanner and have a fire wall, all of which are updated almost
daily. Nothing has come up as spyware or infected. This is really
frustrating, and any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
