Hi all
Just got a nagging problem with my explorer .. if I open lots of tabs like im doing now applying for 1st line support jobs if i open too many it starts to not load up the pages then ones already open links on the page stop working and it slowly progresses down the tabs till none of them i can click to apply for jobs etc !
any ideas!

 

sometimes does it with 5 sometimes 20 i had 5 open a second ago just had to restart now !

 

i'll have a look when it does it again
and yeah got yahoo toolbar sadly not me who added that

 

AV ?

yep got rid of all the extras etc etc

might sort it out

 

got norten internet security
everythings up to date as much a s possible
av
system
ive done what you said and it seems to be working now
cheers

 

get rid of nortons and get firefox 3

 

well got rid of all the toolbars etc etc did a microsoft update and checked everything was up to date but yet right now its doing it again
i open about five tabs apply for jobs and close them open another 5 etc etc
seems to be after ive right clicked and opened tabs a few times
thing is things stop loading on IE just says conneting on the tab and blank nothing happens then i can't right click no more
weird and bloody annoying only way i can seem to rectify is to reboot!

 

maybe the registry could do with a clean. If you have the mike meyers A+ book there is a free utility on there called easy cleaner use it too clean unwanted/in needed reg entries also download ccleaner and use that too.

Then see if the problem comes back, it could be because although you have deleted the tool bars the registry entry still exists.

 

yeah i'll try the cclaner with the reg
think theres something wrong with this dam computer!
i hate dell's

 

Try a virus scan, not nortons go to trend micros website and use their online scanner to see if that brings up any malware/greyware or spyware.

 

I've found IE 7 to be a bit problematic and am a bit disappointed with it. It's only minor things but add up to an annoyance. For example, when I access FTP sites (I have to frequently), you have to go in, enter name and password, then select to open the FTP in Windows, then enter your details again. Along that, it has a habit of just sometimes not opening links. Example, click on a link in my favourites, it sits there and thinks about it, comes up with the No Display page, click the link again, it opens in a nanosecond.

Anyone else found this? Never had these issues with IE 6

 

I use Firefox, so I don't get any problems

 

Have you tried running IE7 without any add-ons enabled? To try it, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). See if you get the same problem.

If you don't then I would suggest it's an Add-On playing up. The reason I say this is because I have seen issues on a couple of machines where Messenger was running.

I had to go through and disable all the Add-Ons, before re-enabling them one by one... but I found the problem.

You may have to do the same.

 

yep its doing it now the annoying thing is even if i close the tabs it still keeps messing up
well ive checked to see memory usuage as advised at the beginning of this thread and its shot up to 365,444k!!!!!
