Hi All, I seem to be encountering a bit of a niggling problem. On a number of sites, the loading seems to hault when around 2 or 3 objects are left to load. I've only AVG on here with the firewall in the router and in XP Home SP2 Security settings are standard, as far as I can see and I've even done a reset to IE original settings. I've checked that no pictures are on there though they never posed a problems before and that ann annimations etc are off. I've a Vigor 2600 router directly connected to this machine and I'm on a plus net 2 meg line. Any suggestions? Pop up blocker is switched off as well. Steve
