IE 6.0 stalls after 3 links

Internet Explorer stalls after moving to 3-4 links. The stall lasts 30 seconds and freezes all functions related to the explorer. The processor hourglass spins during this time but there is no movement in the IE logo.

Mine did this and i just installed Netscape 7. But before you do try and see if you can get a Back version of IE.(IE 5, IE 5.5) Those seem to be better with handling links and Java.

ie 6.0 is a big mess so many people have huge problems with it, it think it is the java in it also, go back to ie 5.5 it is the most stable and don't use netscape as it is a pain and very slow, try going the windows update in your computer click start and at the top it will say windows update and do this while connected and there is probable some patches there for ie 6 that might help
