This was also a problem when I was using XP. I'll be browsing and for no apparent reason, IE will lock up. Some pages would load indefinately no matter how many times I'd try. I installed Firefox to test out whether it was my network connection but Firefox seems to load things okay. I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing this issue? Oh and, no, I don't want to stick with Firefox, I prefer Internet Explorer.

I experienced the same problem with Vista Business and IE7 with all updates. It locks up at IE start up for about 2-4 secs. I solved it by uninstalling Google toolbar v5 beta and install stable one.

Hmm, I don't have Google toolbar. First thing I checked was for toolbars.

Try running Internet Explorer without Add-Ons (Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)).
If it works, then you most likely have a problem with an Internet Explorer addon.
Hmm I wonder what happened to decency and morality? Doesn't anyone remember them?

If the issue is there regardless of the OS, then there is probably some software program on the machine that may be conflicting with the browser.
