Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Crew
,, I'm getting a milky screen with a little circle thing that won't let me do anything with it ,,I have to right click on windows explorer and delete ,,after a while it deletes and I'm back to my desktop icons again ,,Something to do with "windows explorer is not responding" message ..after I've rebooted a couple times it comes good ,, ..

Any clues?

Thanks

What version of IE do you have? (if you click on help in IE and then on "about IE" it should tell you)

I had all sorts of trouble with IE 6 and this forum so downloaded IE8 and installed it and solved all the problems.

IE is free to download a later version for and when its installed all your favorites files will remain in the new version.

Sounds to me IE has become corrupted and might be best to do a upgrade with a newer version.

Better still say good bye to IE and get firefox.

Its a bit different to IE but there comes a time when you wonder why you ever bothered with IE.

I would have to agree with Robb on this one. Firefox is by far the superior browser of the two.

I'm going to close this thread. As soon as someone mentions what browser they are using, it starts a browser war.
