Solved Window busy

[glc]

Hi all,
If there is a thread similar to this, sorry,but I did a search and didn't find anything.

All of a sudden,I can't get any sites to open,and when I close out IE11 I get the Window Is Busy screen.
I had IE10 and thought maybe it had a problem,so I installed IE11. No change.
Homepage site opens fine,but nothing else.

Tried disabling all add ons. That didn't help.
I use MalwareBytes and Kaspersky. Neither one comes up with any issues.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

glc mate I am having a few issues with MBAM and Kaspersky too on my main machine not that Windows is not functioning more that MBAM often goes to not responding.

I am wondering if you should try disabling either and try.

You could run these too

You say you can't get any sites to open. Does IE try, and then give an error? If so, can you post a screenshot of the error?

When did this begin? Do you have a System Restore point from before it began?

Do you have any other browsers on your PC (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)? If so, do they work?

Try booting to Safe Mode with Networking

Can you open web pages in safe mode? If so, try a Clean Start to see if you have a conflict

Greg as A Guy says mate and if it were me I would even try uninstalling the 11 and reinstalling only don't forget to download and save the application first.

I am assuming you did this when going over to IE11 from the 10?

Yes,it tries. Ball in address bar just sits there spinning. When I close the browser the 'WINDOW IS BUSY"
window pops up.

I have tried a restore point before the problem. No different.

Do you have any other browsers on your PC (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)? If so, do they work?

Yes, my other two browsers (Chrome and Firefox) work fine.

Same problem in Safe Mode also.

11 was still in my Optional Windows Update. That is where I got it.

IE is your default browser? What page is the homepage set to? Try this, make sure IE is closed, and iexplore.exe is not running in task manager:

Start> In search box type Default programs> Enter> Set your default programs> Click on Internet Explorer> Choose Defaults For This Program> Select all> Save> OK your way out

See if any help. A Guy

Yes,it is my default browser. Well,until this problem anyway.

My homepage is NASCAR.com. It opens fine. Did what you suggested. IE only had 6 of 14 defaults set.
Has all now,but problem still exists.

I appreciate all you're doing A Guy.

If you change the home page, to, say, google, does that still open? If you open a new tab and type in the nascar.com addy, does it open that way? How are you opening IE? From a desktop shortcut? From a shortcut pinned to the taskbar?

For the heck of it, I changed my homepage when you asked what site it was set to. Not sure what the deal is with NASCAR.com, but all is fine now after changing to another.

I use NASCAR as my homepage during the whole racing season. Never had any issues,especially like this one for sure.

Thanks for your help.

Interesting. I bet if you change it back, it will all still work Let us know if need any more help, otherwise you can mark this solved. A Guy

 

[glc]

Tried it. Something is conflicting with that site and IE. At least on my system anyway. Oh well, at least it's not a more serious issue.

Thanks again for all your help.

Odd, the address is http://www.nascar.com/en_us/sprint-cup-series.html ? If you have just nascar.com, try that. Unless you are happy with what you have now, we hate a mystery

glc, I don't have NASCAR.com as my home page, but do visit sometimes. In my opinion it's just crap, slow loading, links don't work, videos won't play, etc.

It seem to hog lots of resources when it's open so maybe that's why as a home page it was interfering with other sites.

That's the way it shows up in Chrome and FireFox too. No problems with those two.
Sure would like to know what the deal is with it and IE. I can live with Google though.

Oh I know. They have made it worse with all the fancy bells and whistles. A few years back it was a decent site. Now,like you say,it is a big resource hog.

Right, When Turner owned and run it, it was a nice place with useful info. NASCAR has it royally, err, messed up.

Hmmm, works on IE10, for me at least. Oh well, at least you got IE working A Guy
