Need Help - XP / IE error (Not a virus)
Hello everyone! I am hoping I can find someone else who has had this issue or someone who can help me.
The other day, IE 6 started to sit and load without anything ever showing in the page.
No errors, no text, just a blank page and the icon would sit and turn as if loading.
It would only do this 1 out of every 8-10 times I opened IE (Version 6).
I downloaded IE Beta 7 and same thing.
Firefox works fine by the way.
After 3 days, IE stopped showing any pages and just sat and acted as if it were loading but nothing would show except a blank page.
This is a new system so I just formatted and reinstalled Windows XP Home SP2.
Everything once again worked fine until today it started the same thing again.
I run a small business and my online accounting program will not mesh with Firefox so this is a severe issue for me.
I just upgraded to IE 7 Beta again to check and it does the same thing.
On the 4th reboot, it worked for a few minutes and then stopped again.
My system is:
AMD Athlon 3800+ Dual Core CPU
Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 Mobo (NForce4 Chipset)
2 Gigs (2x1GB) of G-Skill PC533 DDR2
GForce 7600 PCIE (16X) 256 DDR2 Video
320 Gig Seagate SATA
Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card
Installed:
Windows XP Home SP2
Windows Office XP
AVG Anti-Virus
Zone Alarm (free version)
Norton Systemworks 2002 (Only use Windoctor and Speed Disk - Nothing running in background)
Firefox
All Windows updates are done.
I thought that Zone Alarm may have caused it but I have uninstalled it with no luck.
No other errors of any kind on the system.
Network is NForce 100MB LAN (On board) running into a Linksys Wireless router which in turn is fed by Direcway Satellite High Speed Internet.
I don't even know where to start to troubleshoot this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
