Internet Explorer keeps hanging

[svp06]

I have a problem accross my network where internet explorer hangs all the time. Sometimes after one or two clicks sometimes after 15 minutes but it always does it.

 

I have a mixture of IE7 and IE8. I have tried connecting a pc direct to the router and it still happens. I have smoothwall proxy but a machine that doesnt go through the proxy has the same problem.

 

The problem does not occur if I install and use Mozilla but for various reasons I need IE.

 

I have tried removing anti virus and that hasnt helped.

 

Any suggestions?

Do you have Policy Central installed? If so search these forums for Policy Central.

yes I do have policy central. Do you think that might be causing the problem?

I've had a few instances of IE8 crashing a few seconds after opening it. Downloading the IE8 installer from the Microsoft Download site and then running it (basically uninstall/reinstall) fixes the problem.

 

In my case a particular piece of curriculum software breaks it.

Yes as there was a thread on edugeek about this a month or there abouts ago and most either updated policy central ( from there website ) or un installed it
