    try updating to IE 6 if you don't have it already.

    If that doesn't work, the old me would say "reinstall windows" but the new me says "reinstall windows". Or wait for other people with other solutions than mine to read your post :)

    oh and why oh why do you have 3/4 of the image be some huge white space? ugh :P

    Are you using IE6 ?  In add/remove programs there is an option to repair your IE6 installation, that might be worth a try.

    How much RAM do you have? I know mine does that temporarily if I start to run low on ram. I've never had it happen permanently to me though.

    So yeah, reinstall windows :|

    edit: oooh, I see you are runnign windowsME with what looks like IE 5.5, does this happen right away after you boot up or oes this only happen after a while fo use?

    I know with windowsME there was a problem where by ram usage was not properly managed and the ram would slowly get more and more used up, I think there is a fix in a windows update though, so try updating windows also.

    Hmm, let's see the highly informed opinions we've had in this thread so far:

    1. If you have a minor application problem, wipe your machine out and reinstall the operating system.

    2. When a vendor offers updates to fix bugs, close security vulnerabilities, and add functionality, just ignore them because they are out to get you.

    And if you believe all these, I have some swampland I can sell you in Florida for a song...

    Yeah, ummm, if you agree to the EULA, that's consent.

    And as for what you're talking about, they have made a piece of the Windows XP service pack 1 that detects if your copy of XP <i><b>IS</b></i> warez - actually, an illegal corporate copy. Fully within their rights to turn off your stolen software. So yes, don't patch your OS if you stole it!

    WTH Legion? I've told people about using these forums for illegal software distribution. You are right on the edge here.

    PS: Yes, Fam.

    Sorry, I was just trying to making a point, I'll back off.

    Not trying to advocate stealing, or getting around copywrights, I just feel that if it is my hardware, I should be the one to decide exactly what and what does not go into my system.

    Of course, thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.

    I had this same problem - and let me tell you monse it may be 'minor' but it is horrible, your comp freezs whenver there is a popup, whenever you click a link.  Luckly, I formated my computer and now have WindowsXP installed and it no longer does it. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->!

    Someone mentioned that your problem may be caused by low memory. I found with 98se that a little program called <a href="http://www.freemempro.com/" target="_blank">FreeMem Pro</a>. I set it to free up 64 meg of ram whenever it dropped below 5 meg. Usefull when running VHE. :-D

    I don't exactly know how it "frees up" space in the memory without turfing things that running programs put there in order to work properly, but I never had any problems with it.
