Windows 7: Internet and Email freezing

Hi Friends

Ever since I installed Windows 7 I have had many instances of the internet and my email (Hotmail) freezing.

Does anyone know why please?

Thanks. Wibley

Hi wibley and welcome

there can be many things causing it. We need to get some information on your wardware before we can be much help to you. Can you fill in the system specs in the lower left corner of your posts

This is what I receive every time my IE or Hotmail crashes - which is now quite often - several times a day.

This should not be happening. Lets try the easy approach first. Try to restore to a point in time before the problem ocurred. I would use system restore, but system image would serve the same purpose. System image however effects your personal files and restore does not. If you get things to work again and you want to go back to the way it is now. Anwer Ken's questions, he is very knowledgeable and has helped many here, including me.

Hi Richard
Thanks for your reply. To go back to where it was not happening would mean removing Windows 7.

I was using Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7 and all was well.

Now I have installed Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 - the problems have occurred.

I am thinking of removing Internet Explorer 8 and going back to Internet Explorer 7 but keeping Windows 7.

Ken asked me to update my computer specifications and I have done this.

Thanks again.

Wibley.

Until Ken comes back try this. Right Click on the internet icon, bottom left. then go to troubleshoot.
