    Question IE 6.0 freezing 5-10 seconds on popups

    IE 6.0 freezing 5-10 seconds on popups.
    After that popup is opening and everything is normal.
    This happens everytime with a page with popup.
    Im using Win2k P2-350 with 256Mb RAM.
    Is there a way to solve that ?
    Thanks by now.

    IE6 works fine. You shouldn't need to go back to IE5...

    You might try going to Add/Remove Programs...Select Micro$oft IE 6...then Select Repair. Hopefully, it will solve your problems. Also, you might check <a href="http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">WindowsUpdate</a> for, you guessed it...Updates.

    If it just hangs on popups and then takes off OK, it might not even classify as a problem. It could just be waiting for your system to catch up. I have seen some of the lower tech video cards (with less than 8MB onboard RAM) hose things up also. But I'm assuming (and you know what happens when I do that) that with your system, you probably have a nice video card.

    Sorry I couldn't help out more...let us know how it ends up. Good Luck!

    As DonJ said, it might be waiting for your system. You said you are running w2k on a PII 350, which should run just fine, but it may be a "little" heavy for a 350 to handle. Try the update thing.
    It's good to be the King.

    Try using Adaware and scan for any spyware on your system. <a href="http://www.lavasoftusa.com" target="_blank">www.lavasoftusa.com</a>
