try mozilla firefox.\nfirefox.com\n\nsome of the stuff might be because of plugins.\n\nEDIT: To correct the other poster, hard drive almost certainly isn't an issue.

Check whether ur Internet security options aren't blocking these sites. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security. Make sure that the severity isn't too high.

1) Check for spyware and run a system cleaner that will clear you internet cache etc. (see below)\n2) If problem persists, check internet security settings, you may have to lower the security.\n3) Alternative solution: Switch to Mozilla FireFox as it is a much better Web browser.

There should be a "Pause Break" button above your PageUp button.  On boot up you can hit that to freeze the screen.

Discrepancies in security settings can cause this.  If one computer has a firewall it may be preventing access to a certain site.  Same goes with differences in browser settings, anti-virus, etc.

When I had a virus my screen kept freezing up (use anti spy-ware) to clean it up. I have also been told not to you explorer when opening up, but to use Mozilla Firefox instead. Best of Luck, Hope this works for you.

OR\n\nLet us try the following.\n1- Clear history and cookies\n2- Delete temporary internet files\nBoth 1 and 2 are in Internet options from Control panel\n3- Restart computer and try again\n4- Mark me as best answer if the problem goes with the wind \n5- Check for antivirus, you need one

There`s a variety of reasons your firefox could be feezing. Most commonly it`s the extensions people download, but since you just installed it this shouldnt be the problem.\n\nWhen firefox freezes you should click control alt delete, click the task manager, and order by cpu use, to see which program is actually freezing. If it`s svhosts, dont blame firefox. See the (www.jimmyr.com/blog/Svhosts_100_memory_usage_slowing_down_computer89_2006.php svhosts crashing page).\n\nIf you have zone alarm or some other firewall, make sure firefox isnt blocked. That would obviously cause it to `hang` because the program freezes while it`s trying to connect to the internet but can`t.\n\nTry downloading an old version of firefox, search oldversion firefox on google. See if those work. Try another browser like avast or the new internet explorer beta 7.\n\nTry checking what`s connecting to your comp. start ->run->netstat -b.\n\nGood luck. It`s probably not firefox. It could be a number of things.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/yah/firefox_hanging_again_97_2006.php

Well, in that moment of peril, try using <CTRL> <ALT> <DELETE> to open task manager and end any processes that are showing "Not Responding". However, this may not always work, though it might help.\n\nIn the future to prevent this from happening, try the following things.\n1. Make sure your PC is not overheating, with more heat, the performance falls. If it is overheating, buy a cooling dock fan for around $30 dollars.\n2. Make sure you are not running to many "stealth" programs in the background. These programs take up RAM and CPU. To fix this problem, go to Run and type in "Msconfig" and go to last tab called Startup. Now uncheck everything that you reconize from past program installations except for your firewall.\n3. Make sure you don't run too many programs at the same time. This would increase your RAM and CPU usage and cause your PC to freeze much easily.

I think it is because you have your computer set on high security which wont allow some pages to display. I really dont know how to access it but maybe you should try tools and then options.

you may have other programs running in your task bar or you have a virus.try defragmenting or deleting unused files.
