"not repsonding" applications "Fran" <spamsucks[ at ]alltimes.com> 11/8/2008 11:15:39 PM Using IE7 & XP. For reasons unknown to me I have been getting frequent hanging of web pages when working in IE7. This has only been in recent weeks. This seems to happen when click on a website link. I do not work with more than 2-4 windows open at one time. So, when one window hangs (hourglass appears and stays on), I use contol/alt/delete to open Windows Task Manager and "end" the non-responding application(s). Then all windows close down. Is there something(s) that I can do to fix this problem? All help is appreciated. Thank you in advance. Fran

The free utility ccleaner (www.ccleaner.com) can make this easy and thorough; be aware that it will usually also and by default clear things like saved passwords for web sites. Look for the "other builds" link and take the "slim" build, as it doesn't have the Yahoo toolbar you don't need. HTH -pk

If it flickers or stays on a lot your computer may be making heavy use of the swap/page file, a symptom you could need more memory. Use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the Windows Task Manager and poat to this thread again with the PF Useage and Total Physical Memory values from the Performance tab. Also report back whether you: You installed new software or upgraded existing software You installed or replaced any peripherals You started visiting a new web site or the appearance of one of the sites you visit changed.

Re: "not repsonding" applications "Fran" <spamsucks[ at ]alltimes.com> 11/9/2008 12:45:24 PM Not long ago I installed Skype. I wonder if Skype is the culprit and if there is a fix for this?
