I have IE 7, windows XP SP2, and a DAMN fast computer (AMD 5000+ 2 GB of DDR2
RAM, etc.) so this machine is not simply crashing. But whenever I go to a
page more advanced (with more style and content) than somethign as simple as
google, the page will lock up and I'll have to end the task. I believe it has
something to do with the content on the page. Basically every page on the net
does it now.

Any ideas? Anyone?
 
You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that
you...

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

2a. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

2b. Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable.

3. Reinstall IE7 exactly per
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install, and using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation
source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

4. IMMEDIATELY go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any
critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the
Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.

How much room do you have reserved for Temporary Internet Files?

Have you played with the paramaters there... including how IE checks
for updates to the pages?

Do you have a bunch of programs configured to block popups and/or ads?

Flash
- Open Internet Properties.

- Click View Objects.
- Right-click the "Shockwave Flash Object".

You might look through the suggestions on this web site:
http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=javascript+errors

Also look through ActiveX installs to see if any are damaged or
unnecessary.

- Open Internet Properties.
- Click Settings button from the General tab.
- Click View Objects.
- Look for Damaged or unneeded components.
- Click Repair if damaged, or Remove if not needed. Some dial-up modems
install ActiveX components so look at a component's details before removing.

Look through Add-Ons and temporarily disable any that look suspect, or
unneeded.
