programs non-responsive

most of the programs I use keep going non responsive and
then a message gets sent to microsoft, and then it
happens again and again. Even word stalls. I am running
xp pro
 
The same thing is happening to me. I can't even load the
windows update page without it hanging. I get to the first
page where it says "Checking for the latest version of the
Windows Update software...
Depending on your connection speed, this might take a
minute. To ensure that you're able to view Windows Update
when this verification is complete, select Yes in
any "Security Warning" dialog boxes that
appear." The update process freezes at this point.

There are a few pages that will run but most programs on
IE freeze. When using Netscape all works well. I am also
on Windows XP system. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
 
Hi Ed,
I too had this problem, and after some searching on the
web, I found the solution that worked for me. Voila!
Problem solved...hope this helps.

Delete the following registry key (go to START button,
click on run, type the word regedit in open box, click ok)
then click on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects
 
Found the solution to this problem, for anyone else who
may be experiencing this same issue:

If your internet explorer browser windows won't close
correctly then try this. Delete the following registry key
(go to START button, click on run, type the word regedit
in open box, click ok)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects
