hi there, i just had a new harddrive installed on my new
toshiba laptop, and ever since then when i use ie 6.0 sp1
pop up windows are incredibly slow. For instance, when I
clicked to open the pop up window to compose this
message, the entire browser freezes for a few seconds,
and then, finally, it opens.

The browser works fine, it just seems to freeze for a
moment. What's going on? Please email me if you know.

Thank you,

Zachary
