im having a problem with internet explorer. when i first start it, its all good, except in the task manager, IE is using all the CPU that isnt being used by everything else. it browses pages fine. when i try to close it, IE freezes, and i have to end the task. can someone tell me A) how to stop it from using so much cpu time, and B) how to keep it from freezing?
