Internet Explorer hangs while accessing hotmail.

For the last couple weeks, whenever I access hotmail with IE, it completely
locks up on me, to the point I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and end task. Mouse
pointer will still move, but I cannot click on ANYTHING in that window.
Status bar reads DONE and I can see the complete page though. This problem
only happens while on hotmail site, no problems anywhere else. Extrememly
odd. I use Firefox to check my hotmail and there are no problems at all. I
have erased all cookies/cache/history etc., deleted plug-ins, run
spyware/virus checkers, still no success. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
I have exactly the same problem....IE6 (Win XP Pro SP2) keep freezing only on
MSN Hotmail site, not at the login page but after 3 or 4 page changes.

My McAffee Antivirus and Firewall always kept updated and running.

AD Aware SE 1.05 also.

No virus, worm or malware detected during scans.

I really don’t know what to do. Is it Hotmail or a virus. Thinking or
reformatting C: and do a fresh Win XP Pro install.

Thanks for your help.

Your not the only one with this really bothersome problem. Mine stated last
sunday after there upgrade. I can't even view my hotmail messages the whole
page freezes and you have to ctrl alt delete , 900 times just to get the end
program now window to pop up. I have ran very type of spywear progarm out
there and come up clean , anti virus is the same way. The computer is clean
and I even re installed IE 6 and still nothing. There has to be a fix from
Microsoft for this or atleast help us out. If any of you find a fix, Plz let
us all know.

It also happens to me since last week. I also notice in my message
from MAILER-DAEMON@telkom.. and suspect this is the rouge; taking ove
control of the webpage. (try and delete M-D@telkom before everythin
locks up) I can sometimes beat it by setting the security high and als
not accepting scripting - I have made scripting a manually accepte
action by me and I always say NO to it.

Have also checked and updated all outstanding patches from Microsof
but it doesn't seem much better

I was having th eexact same problem. I did a google search to see i
anybody else was having the problem (hotmail freezing only) and foun
tha tmany had success by first opening MSN messanger (hhhmmmm
suspicious??) or by uninstalling it. I did both and Hotmail hasn'
froze since.

Good luck!

For those who still have problems with Hotmail and that have MS
Messenger on thier computer...

Go in Tools > Internet Options>

Click on "Security", select "Internet" and then "Custom Level"
Searche for "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" and disable it.

Disabling this will prevent Hotmail from showing the MSN Messenge
status near your email adress on your hotmail account. If it i
disabled, MSN Messenger wont be asked to run which is most-likely th
cause of the problem.

Try it and tell if it works. It worked for me and I want to see if i
can work for other people. Thx

Yes, its MSN Messenger causing the problems.
Either uninstall, leave ON, or leave off but in your tray (what I do).
 
Hmm windows firewall, msn messenger auto-creating hundreds rules t
allow outbound MSN thru, hmm microsoft website - hmm talking dirty t
other programs apart from IE without your permission, hmm, hmm. Ou
bound connections, hmm, microsoft, hmm other programs, hmm spyware. hm
jail for Bill.

uninstall MSN, get fake ID, plastic surgery, hmm and some dar
glasses.
