I am having a major problem with IE8 freezing / locking up when navigating.
This is driving me mad. Have to completely reset/reboot machine each time.
I have even rebuilt the machine twice and the problem still there!

This is my machine build:

ASUS P6T Deluxe
12 GB Ram
Gigabyte 1GB 4850 Radeon Graphics
Wireless Nic

Vista 64 Ultimate SP2
AVG 8.5.339

I have read throught this forum and tried all the various fixes i.e disable
Flash/Schockwave etc........

I had the same problem on a previous machine with a similar build:

ASUS P5Q-E
8 GB Ram
Gigabyte 1GB 4850 Radeon Graphics
Wireless Nic

Vista 64 Ultimate SP2
AVG 8.5.339

I have now gone bak to IE7 and all seems to be fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Kent,

Did you disable your AntiVirus program when you did the IE8
installation/update?

Where did you get the IE8 Updates from?

Downloaded from the MS IE8 site?
Accepted in a Windows Update?
Downloaded from another site - there are branded versions available from
Google, AOL, Yahoo.

What information is in Start>Control Panel>Problem Reports and Solutions

Regards.

Hi Rob

Thanks for you reply.

In answer to your questions:

1. No I did not disable AVG when updating to IE8. Should I have done so?

2. Updated from Windows Update site.

3. I have no information in Start>Control Panel>Problem Reports and Solutions!

When I was rebuilding the machine I have used a MSDN keyed version, Technet
keyed version and standard off the shelf retail version from the Microsoft
Employee shop. All builds these have the same problem.

I have 2 Dell Desktops and 3 Dell Latitude Laptops all running Vista 64
Ultimate SP2 with IE8 and AVG 8.5.339 and have no problems at all with these
machines. All these machine were updated from the windows update site.

I have tried Windows 7 RC 64 Ultimate on the ASUS P6T Deluxe and it is fine!

Cheers

Kentman

Hi Kentman,

Hope this helps. Ping back when your OK.

IE8 System Requirements
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/int...uirements.aspx

HOW TO solve IE8 installation problems
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949220

I would strongly recommend disabling your anti-virus application and any
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender) before installing (or
uninstalling) an IE upgrade. If you're running a third-party firewall, I
would recommend disabling it and then enabling the Windows Firewall before
installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade.

Tip: Reboot twice after installing IE8 Final.

Tip: Make certain that your anti-virus application, any anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender), and your third-party firewall (if any)
is supported in IE8 Final before you decide install it.

No-charge support for Internet Explorer 8 installation, set-up and usage
(only) is available via the phone based on your locale through 31 December
2009. Customers must be running Windows XP or Windows Vista in a non-domain
environment. US & CA Residents: 866-234-6020.

Hi Rob

Thanks again for your reply.

Followed your suggestions:

1. The P6T Deluxe meets all the requirements for IE8.

2. Followed the the first method fix in KB 949220.

3. Uninstalled AVG 8.5.339

4. Updated to IE8 via Windows Update site.

5. Rebooted twice.

6. Tested navigation and it is still Freezing / Locking up! (Note no AVG
installed on machine)

7. Swore alot!!!!!!!

I walked away from it for a few hour and thought about the hardware
involved. I connected the P6T Deluxe to my wireless router via the onbaord
ethernet connection and the problem went away. I also tried a Linksys USB
(WUSB54GR) Wireless NIC and have not had any problems with freezing or
locking up. Re-installed AVG 8.5.339 and again still no problems.

The wireless PCI NIC (Linksys WMP54G Ver.4.1) I use must be the problem. I
remember that you have to use a third party driver (RA LINK RT2500) for this
NIC as Linksys do not do a driver Vista x64. I can only asume that this
third party driver is the root cause to all my problems. I have now removed
this card and the drivers from the machine.

As I have answered my original post, I would like to say many many thanks
for your help and suggestions in trying to resolve this problem.

Cheers

Kentman
