WinME pauses when switching to another program
When closing Internet Explorer and clicking on another program the screen
freezes for up to 35-45 seconds. The mouse is available but I cannot click on anything. After the time mentioned it opens the program or completes the task I was asking. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated. |

Hi,
This is probably being caused by a third-party program- possibly an adware, spyware, parasite program. Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that page. Additional information at: The Parasite Fight http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm More security tips at http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm Bugs, Glitches & Stuffups: http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm Or... A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, toolbars, security, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at any program that might be interacting with IE. You may have to reinstall, or not reinstall, a program. Hope this helps, Don MVP IE/OE "sac" abe[at]toto.com wrote in message ...
