We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. please update windows by going to the microsoft site, www.microsoft.com. Inorder to download the updates you will need to be running IE.
also i know that if i dont say it now one of my collegues will, here in the inernet and browsers fourm, whenever someone complains of a problem in IE it is almost garunteed one of the helpers will suggest the user should switch to firefox. and so i whould like to suggest that to you. firefox is more secure, and faster. and FREE. but if you whould like to stick with IE, i totaly understand.
After you have done all that please post back if you are still having problems.
hope this is helpful!
if this dosent work (unlikely), then i whould suggest that you do a temp dump, what could possibly be happaning is you are getting so many temp files stored up on your computer that your ram becomes full.
Temp Dump:
tools>internet options>general>under tempory internet files>settings>settings>view files> delete anything in there dont you recongnize, remember that not all temp files are bad, these include favorites, and saved passwords.
if you dont have any saved passwords or favorits then you can do a complete temp dump, but i do not recoment it unless you truly do not care about any of the temp files
:
Click start then control panel, click network and internet then internet options
On the general tab, click delete cookies, click delete files, include offline content, click clear history.
Click apply after each change.
Click the security tab and click default, click privacy and click default, click programmes and click reset web settings, click advanced to tick, do not save encrypted pages to disc and empty the temporary internet files folder when the browser is closed, click apply
Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, right click any file, click delete, confirm delete.
Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools, to run disc clean up, reboot
==============
hope this is helpful, post back if you have any pproblems, or if it works.
