Hi guys (and girls), I am new here and am fairly PC illiterate. I know just enough to be considered dangerous by a professional, but I was directed here by a friend that says you people are some of the best. My question is this, I recently started having this problem, say for example I am checking mail on yahoo, and I click the dropdown to visit a site I visited previously, and IE locks up. The hourglass just appears and I have to control,ALT,delete and restart IE. I cant think of anything right off that would have caused this. I try to stay up to date on XP updates and such. Anyway, thanks in advance, and if I posted in the wrong area, I apologize. Sean
