Microsoft will make a computer up and freeze...lol. Actually it could be a lot of things. I'd recommend clearing your cache, and defraging your hard drive incase it's something related to that. Make sure your virus software is up to date!! Running a scan wouldn't be a bad idea. It also could be Adware/Spyware/Malware related if none of those work...PM me if you have questions about that ;-).

OK I'm having the same problems and am a total thicko - how do you clear your cache? :roll:

mmmmkay, I'm a mac user, and I don't know what browser you're using, so this is just a guess..
I use safari, under the safari menu you can pull down to "empty cache"..
on my internet explorer, if you go to the explorer menu, to preferences, then select web browser, and under that advanced, there's an option for emptying the cache.

it's probably something similar on internet explorer on a PC..
if what I said doesn't work, try googleing for "empty cache" and whatever browser you're using, and you should be able to find some directions..

I hope that helps. :-?
