When I open a browser my Windows XP hangs up. If I open more than one browser it will eventualy load IE and as long as I have the browser open I can open another IE browser. Like I have to already have the browser open.
IE8 hang-ups are common While I'd recommend this thread more for comic relief (note how all the support engineers bail-out after the first few posts):

I couldn't get T-R-A's link to work but I generally recommend sticking to IE7 with XP.
