Posted October 4, 200717 yr I'm working on an XP Home SP2 system that developed a problem after uninstalling AVG antivirus and installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus in its place. (This may be coincidental, I've installed KAV on a lot of machines and never run into this kind of problem.) What occurs is that when Internet Explorer is run, it just "hangs" with an hourglass, and does not display anything. This pretty much locks up the whole machine, which needs to be forcibly reset to regain control. Unistalling Kaspersky did not fix the problem, nor did installing the IE7 update. (IE7 is unable to bring up its intitial configuration screen, same symtoms.) On the other hand, Mozilla Firefox works normally so this does not appear to be caused to an underlying network or internet connection problem. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this before I take the hatchet approach (wipe out/reload)? -- Roger Blake (Subtract 10s for email.)
