[pchelpers] Re: IE7 Loops and Hangs

Something that annoys me is that apparently NO browser seems to have a way 
to tell it to STOP COMPLETELY whatever it's doing.  They may stop loading a 
page, but won't stop running a java applet, for example.

Also, you can't always tell when it's still trying to load something or not, 
but that may also be related to an ActiveX control or java applet.

I changed the subject even though I picked up your response from another
subject Scott.

IE 7 has not been behaving well. It occasionally either hung up solid or
went into a fast loop just loading new blank screens. Sometimes very
difficult to even break out without pressing and holding the poer off
button.

 I took the problem to Microsoft and they asked if they could do a scan.
Of course I said yes but then found out that they quarantined several
sections of my P2P program. Obously decided it was Malware.

Will try to go back to IE6 since Firefox does not always work well on
the Microoft sites.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
