Does it ever come back?\n\nDepending on the link. the web site may be slow or unavailable at the moment.\n\nA more troublesome possibility is that yoiu may have a virus or some spyware that is interfereing.  Make sure your antivirus software is up to date, and run it.

You obviously have a virus or some really nasty SpyWare.  Clean things up before going anywhere. \n\nUse your antivirus and do a full scan. \n\nInstall and run Ad-aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy from www.Download.com.

You must be using some sort of pop-up blocker. Try to disable it or try holding CTRL before clicking a link.

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.

It could be many things. You should provide more info, such as your opperating system, your version of internet explorer, the age of your hardware, the circumstances in which it locks up and so forth.

It has been happening to me too, but I just click Back and click the link again.\n\nLike it states, the server may be to busy or anyone of the explanations may be the reason as to what is wrong...

Maybe it isnt the screen freezing but the computer itself. I used to have this problem on my desktop. Regular maintainence was my answer. Try disc clean up and defrag. in that order. Also keep your temporary files down by continually cleaning them out. I also found that memory can cause this problem. If you are using Windows XP you need a min of 256MB RAM as XP uses close to the 128MB mark. 512MB RAM works very well.

No problem here. You're computer is either fouling up or you have line trouble. Just go to the Yahoo home page and type in the search window Wikipedia, see what happens then.

Go to internet options for each browser you have:\nDelete Cookies\nDelete Page History\nClear/Delete Cache\n\nRun defrag\n\nRun your virus scanner.\n\nRestart.  This usually does it for me.\n\n(Don't run too many things at once).
