It will open as many as 16 IE windows in a couple of minutes, and all of
them freeze up.

Thanks!

I solved at least part of my problem. By uninstalling Service Pack II that
I recently
installed after re-installing windows XP Pro. I'll probably have to
completely
format the C:\ drive and re-install from scratch to fix all my problems with
windows
XP. I'll save that project for later.

Thanks anyway!
Robert
