First suspect is that is that it has run out of space for temporary files --- ie need to clean out the temporary internet files for all users.

After that defrag the disk.

Of course this assumes you haven't picked a resource hogging virus/trojan.

I had a similar problem with a pc - it drove me up the wall.

Tried all the spyware stuff........

I replaced the hard drive as I thought it was failing.........

I re installed windows twice.........

I tried different memory.........

Eventually I gave up and bought a new computer..................

I swapped the wireless card out of the old pc to get connected to the net and guess what?????? yep exactly the same problem with the new pc - it was the wireless card

Just thought it worth mentioning

Cheers

You could also try another internet browser, e.g Firefox, version 3 has come out today.
