Slows down my browser at home and crashes the one at work.

 

I have no idea...i also use IE, and I havent had any problems, on any of my three computers...

has anyone else had an issue like this??

 

I think it's one of the add's on the site tryin to run a ActiveX script and my security setting in IE is set to block it.

 

 

can you watch for this to happen, and let me know which ad banner is in the top slot when this happens?

 

I haven't experienced that, but some of those banners are not spelled correctly! LOL!

 

Guess I'll have to use Firefox [:@]

 

what's wrong with firefox??? I forgot all about Internet Explorer... people still use it?

 

i only use IE.

 

Last week Aug 7th, Microsoft released the latest security patches for Win 2000 and XP and apparently their patch is causing intermittent crashes when trying to load web sites that use HTTP 1.1 or compression.

Here is the workaround to fix the problem:

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps: 1. Start Internet Explorer 6.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click the Advanced tab.
3. In the Settings box, click to clear the Use HTTP 1.1 check box under HTTP 1.1 settings, and then click OK.

BTW: This workaround was extracted from Microsoft's Knowledgebase article found here:

Does not work , still have to use Firefox. [:@]
