System Freezing (Explorer Not Responding)

Hi, I am posting this request for help again. I am hoping
someone can give me some good advice and guidance witrh an
issue that I've been having..

Over the past couple of days, I have noticed that my
computer is not responding (and basically freezes up),
after it is used for a few minutes to access the internet
or to work on a Microsoft Office product. Here is a good
example.. I will go into the
Internet (using IE 6) and then a few minutes later I will
exit IE 6 and get back to my deskyop. At that point, I'll
click on an Icon or the system tray and the hour glass
just comes and the system freezes up. I hit Ctl-Alt-Del
and the menu says that Explorer (not Responding). I hit it
again and I get te dreaded blue screen telling me that the
system is busy and that I can wait or hit Ctrl-Alt-Del
agaiun to restart. I restart and everything is fine again
for a few minutes and the the same error repeats. I use
Windows ME. I also ran Ad-Arae to scan my system for
Parasites and ran a Virus Scan and everything appears to
be cleaned. Any guidance that you can offer would be most
appreciated. Thanks.

What else can you tell us about your system? How much RAM? What's the CPU
speed? Are you DSL? Dialup? w.r.t. WinME, you're in the right group. I am
using WinME too. I contemplated installing IE 6, but changed my mind when I
noticed that many WinME users were reporting problems. Unless you have a
particular need for a "feature" in IE6, I would recommend that you remove it
and install IE 5.5 SP2.
