Hi,

Recently I've had the problem that after I do a search with google the results come up but the explorer windows goes "not responding" for about a minute. The page shows up with the links, but i can't click on them because the computer is still thinking according to the mouse cursor. It usually takes 30-200 seconds before I can click the links. I have run spybot updated so i don't think it is spyware. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

What browser are you using? have you tried clicking Refresh instead of waiting for it?

Some people are like Slinkies™, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

Have you done a clean-up on your comptuer? Deleting all temp internet files, other temp files, cookies, old unused programs, etc., etc.? Sometimes that helps. You might also try AdAware and I assume you have an AV program. I know this is elemental, but some folks don't think about these things.
