[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] I've had XP since 2001 but up until two weeks ago, had never encountered freezing browser-windows of the kind and extent I do now. About two weeks ago it started, I was on a page and did something big, like reversing back to another page before the current one had loaded all its content (images, links) or right-clicked on a big link or something. Suddenly that Explorer-window freezes, I can't manipulate it or close it, I can't even press Ctrl-Alt-Del and get the System manager up. As this happens I also hear the processor fan go to max speed (Dell Dimension, variable output fan). I [i]can[/i] however move other open windows (but not scroll or close them). After about ten minutes, the "bottleneck" seems to resolve itself and every action I tried to do now gets done at once; system manager opens, windows close, the cows moo. This is different from the old-style freezing, which only happened if I had severely taxed the comp by eating up all the virtual RAM by, say, playing a big game for more than five hours. And that kind of freeze never resolved itself, you had no option but to reboot. Could it be because of some new fix that was released in Windows Update these last two-three months? Has anyone else experienced this particular type of freeze? I couldn't find much by googling it. While I know it will resolve itself after about five-ten minutes every time (and this freeze happens twice a day now), most times I just pull out the cord, reinsert and boot up again. [/QB][/QUOTE]
