Up to this date I have been using IE6. However, lately I have started
experiencing situations where it would stop in loading a web page.
When it hit control,alt,delete, it states that the page that is
loading is (not responding). I did a search and there is a Microsoft
page that says that there is a "hot fix" for this problem. Before I
install it, I first wanted to ask if it would be better to just go to
IE7 or an even later version. Any help will be appreciated.
