Carl,

Welcome to the board! Just going to throw a thought out. What version of IE are you using? Have you tried updating to a current one?

Thanks for your input. I see that my version of IE is:5.00.2614.3500

After reloading windows after the hdd format, when I connected to the internet for the first time I was prompted to download the latest "Windows" update (as I remember it) which froze the computer and I seem to get a lot more errors since then. Should I upgrade IE and does this mean that there was a problem with the previous version?

Carl,

Your previous version is not necessarily the problem. Although I don't use IE, I remember having to upgrade it it recently due to some errors that I was getting. The upgrade to EI6 took care of the problems.

Carl, Kind of off beat from your post buy you said

"download the latest "Windows" update (as I remember it) which froze the computer "

Strangely enough, EVERY, single time I download or update when prompted, it ALYWAY freezes my computer too. I have now stopped "updating" when windows says I should!
