Hi there, although I have used the newsgroups for over 6 or 8 years it's
been a couple since I've called in, so hello to all, and nice to see some
old names again...you all do a "great" job.

!, Do I understand right that MS are pulling out from helping these
newsgroups, I really hope I've got it all wrong!!!???

2, I am on Version 7.0.5730.13 Internet explorer with just the blank google
search page, a while ago it kept hanging whilst loading and searching. So
after looking on the net I disabled Google toolbar and I.E was mostly itself
again

My problem now is whilst it loads much quicker (around 10/15 sec from start
off and a few seconds to open a new window), it keeps stalling and hanging,
amoungst the faults are not loading a window and not loading after clicking
on a link, some times it just does not "see" the link at all when you hover
the curser over it, i.e the info does not show up in the bottom left hand
corner and therefore it does nothing if you click on the link (probable
because I.E has frozen in this window by then), and sometimes when clicking
on a link or opening a new window - it takes a few seconds to start loading
the green progress bars and then they load slowly one at a time until they
get to the middle (around 3/4 bars) and then stop. Sometimes when a window
has loaded although I can use the page, I notice that the green bars are
still showing - sometimes all of them but sometimes less than all, as though
it has not fully loaded.

Listed in manage add on are;-
Google toolbar etc - disabled

adobe pdf reader
avg safe search avg security toolbar
real. com
research
skype - not used!!
spybot
sun java console
windows live sign-in helper
windows messenger

Many thanks in advance and nice to be back

Steve

No one from Microsoft "helps in these newsgroups." We're all volunteers.

Always state your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3;
Vista 64-bit SP2) when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your
next reply.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

Yes, I reallise that, pretty amazing volunters....I just saw:- "MSN drops
newsgroup support" and "We are removing newsgroups from MSN servers because
we now have....." , and wondered if these newsgroups were on MS servers, and
may be pulled, thats all. I also thought that MS might supply the MVP's with
software and invites to the Xmas party.

I am not sure about from new maybe I can check, if there is a way!!

I did have symantic professional loaded and updated regularly, but my nephew
(IT professional) changed it to AVG about a year ago.. As far as I know it
is disabled, or uninstalled, can check if needed, maybe you can explain how
to.

Many thanks

Hi there Rob?

SO!!!!! earlier to day I visited my fav' climbing forum as normal "with
add-ons" browsed the forum from one forum to the next, from thread to thread
for an hour, then on and off for ten minutes here and there during the
day - no real problems don't think it "hanged" at all. (also in OE send a
few emails and recieved - purfect - never any probs in OE)

But!!!! Tonight I have opened two separate IE windows both running
"without" add-ons both with different web sites - both are other forums that
I use (all info searching sites - not just chat forums - don't do those
(boring fart!!!). Booth pages have "hung" they are both just sat there I can
see one right under this e-mail.

One has, in the bar at the bottom... a yellow sheild with an "!" in it then
"Waiting forhttp://www.*********( the last link I clicked on - the link to
my profile - this always hangs up ), and 5 green bars in the progress
window.
If I hover the pointy hand over another link then the URL at the bottom
changes to suit but does not move to the next page, when the curser is moved
away again the URL reverts back to as before.

Same on the other window - clicked on link to move to a sub forum and it
hung striaght away - same sheild ...... same 5 green bars.

Whilst these are hung with hardly any lights on my broadband router ( just
one flicker now and then ),

I have sent a test email to myself with a jpeg piccy, and it sent straight
off - green lights on the Router going ten to the dozen. (a dozen is = 12 in
England)

Any ideas as to what is happening.

Well, I was waiting for you to tell me what, if any, effect doing a Reset
had on the problem...

Have you tried it yet?

Is AVG Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, and/or Security
toolbar installed?

Did you upgrade from AVG v8.5 to v9.0?

See the thread titled "Internet explorer hangs" by Remedy Malahide,
April 29, 2009.

Is it AVG linkscanner?

I'm having the exact same issues as described in Remedy Malahide's
original post. (Except my homepage is google.ca, yet the "connecting
to" has the ip: 69.147.108.30 which seems to be a yahoo ip...?, problem
happens with any site I try, for example my bank's website, which says
"Connecting to" and the correct ip for my bank) (I'm getting this
problem on IE7, not 8)(Vista home premium sp1)

The problem seems intermittent, but I don't think it is random.
Typically the first instance of IE hangs, the sceond instance loads the
webpage and off you go.
-edit- i just did a simple test i got:
fail,pass,fail,fail,pass,pass,fail,pass,pass,pass, pass,pass...the failed
loads never eventually load. --

When it first occured I thought "this looks like something that has
probably happened to a lot of people, and there should be lots of
solutions floating around out there. "

I find few. And I don't feel that PA Bears solutions are barking up the
right tree, though full uninstalls and no add-ons may also make this
problem go away...
I'm already using IE7 and I have no currently enabled add ons. (all
currently loaded add ons are disabled)

I use AVG free and IObit advanced system care. Their use predates this
problem.
I have just disabled link scanner, and no luck. I will perform the
uninstall/reinstall and see. -edit- actually i see AVG 9 is now out, i
will get it and opt out of linkscanner. --
I agree with the comment elsewhere in the thread about bits and pieces
of avg running even when you turn it off.

I'll report back when /if fixed.

Thanks
E.

Thanks for that!!!! really good feedback, yes for me also...not consistant..
some times I can use a web site for ages, brouse, read posts, reply to
several threads, search and all that...for hours (yes I know I need to get
out more!!!) ...with no problems.

On other occasions, just simple opening up another IE window (don't know the
correct term for that, except "opening a new brouwser window") and it will
just hang and sit there.

On one Forum I use, it seems to be more common, in particular, always when I
click on "change user profile" it ALWAYS hangs, and although I can hover the
curser over various links and the URL of that link appears in the bottom
left hand corner...the page has "hung" and that is it...I have to close the
window!!!!!

Cheers from Steve

I'm pretty sure I've provided quite a depth of detail and background.

I may also have solved the problem.

I downloaded and installed a new version of AVG (AVG9). I chose custom
install and de-selected linkscanner (surf shield is a subset of that).

So far in an hour or two of use, the problem has yet to recur.

If I wasn't changing versions, the other suggestion I read was to
uninstall re-install AVG but without linkscanner.

Fingers crossed.

Excuse me but IIRC uninstalling the IE upgrade and/or starting IE in No
Add-ons mode (which is not quite the same as having "no add-ons enabled")
was one of my "barks:" If doing so corrects the problem, why was I not
barking up the right tree?

See above.

Also see if a clean, CUSTOM install of AVG 9.0 and opting-out of installing
Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, Security and all of the
email scanning components corrects YOUR problem.
