Why Why Why?? Internet Explorer Problem
ANTHONY DIODATI
Often times, I will click on to a link from an open Page of IE, and the
whole page just hangs.
I might have only 4 IE windows open at the most.
Sometimes if I close a few of the other windows, the "new" window will open,
but usually I have to ctrl Alt Delete' to close the hung window. somestimes
I have to do this 3 or 4 times before it will close. Usually, it then closes
the hung window, and all or most of the other windows.
I have ran search and destory, and hijack this, with no help. I DAGS but
found no help.
Last night I ran the "repair IE" from "add/remove" and it seemed like it
fixed it, but then it started doing it again.
I am running an older gateway,(e-4200) with 256 MB Ram, the clock speed is
around 400.
Thanks, Tony D.

available resources are when the problem occurs. Having multiple IE windows open
can put a drain on available resources (not to be confused with memory), especially
if a lot of Java applets and/or scripting is going on in those windows.
Have you considered not using another browser, but a tabbed browser add-on for
IE....something like Avant Browser, Maxthon, or Crazy Browser? It adds tabbed
browsing, allowing you to view multiple web pages in one browser window.

Wonder if one of the memory sticks could be Bad.

Windows Update?
RAM problems is always a possibility, but I would expect errors elsewhere, not just
this one thing. Do you have updated display drivers installed for your video card,
from the card maker's web site or from your brand computer's support site?

not appear. I dunno if the OP is using it, or just waiting for the pop-up that may
not be appearing for the reason you mention.

from either IE or Google until then.
I only need to disable the Google pop-up blocker - it's not caught by IE's.
The pop-up itself includes a 'click to download if the main download doesn't
fire' link - but it may be that my GetRight is picking up the d/l early
somehow, as I don't need the pop-up to get the d/l.

the link is clicked. The javascript pop-up window has a second link for downloading
if the Windows dialog box does not automatically appear.
There may be some diff because you are using WinXP and its enhanced version of IE6,
though I dunno what that would have to do with your having to disable the popup
blocker in the Google Toolbar to get the download.
Using IE6 SP1 under Win98SE (which has no native pop-up blocker, unlike IE under XP
SP2), and with the Google Toolbar installed AND blocking pop-ups, I still get the
javascript popup AND the download dialog box for the file (Run, or Save to Disk). I
don't have to disable anything in the Google Toolbar, nor do I have to hold the Ctrl
key while clicking the first link. Odd that the Google Toolbar is acting
differently on our respective machines.

I don't *need* to disable the Google pop-up blocker to get the download -
only to get the instructions that come with it.

And it's STILL trying now, no matter how many times I click to DENY,
though at greater intervals between! Then, a bunch in a row! It stops by
clicking to closing the site. If, instead, I DENY 10 or so, another
smaller window also does eventually appear with another "Download Now"
on it, but I never clicked that one. I closed that window, & eventually
the original click to download DID put up it's requestor to go into a
folder-- which I did not take! It's a greater than 5 minute experience.
Definitely, not every site will do that, when initiating a download!

Thanks or Good Luck,

with the download now, right click, save target as...................
The site said "Note: DirectX 6.0 or higher needs to be installed on the
system prior to installing these drivers."So I installed DirectX 9 .
When I then tried to install the driver, It said
"display driver not compatible with the display adapter(s) installed on this
system"
So I must have not had the right driver for this system, or card.
Device mananger says I have a ATI 3D Rage Pro (atir3)

Start in Safe Mode, look in Device Manager there, and see how many different items
are listed under the Display Adapter category in Safe Mode.

former, some were pretty tetchy about drivers, as the OEMs tweaked the
chipsets rather badly (presumably to reduce costs).

;-) The drivers you tried to download may not be an exact match due to tweaking
by Gateway, as I think Noel suggested. We got off on a bit of a tangent here with
the video drivers. You mentioned earlier that you wondered if a bad RAM stick could
be at fault. It seems a rather long shot, but if you want to test your RAM,
download one of these diagnostic diskette makers, then use it to make a bootable
diskette for testing your RAM (download them all if you like):
