My Internet Explorer seems to be hiding. When I start up IE8 I get the hour glass for a second or so then nothing. It took me a while to find that it was in FACT running. I found it in the Process tab of Windows Task Manager. After about 5 attempts at starting it there it lurked five times.

Initially the problem was shared with my Mailwasher program but that has since retuned to normality.

All my other programs seem fine, Firefox works okay, so at least I have a browser. But I like IE8.

It does on the odd OCCASION try to start (usually trying to follow a link from within an email) but then it just starts and informs me “Waiting for….” And just hangs and the dreaded box comes up “This program is not responding….”

I have all the Windows updates and have DONE a Panda scan, but to no avail. Can’t think of any program I have recently installed which may be conflicting.

I am running Windows XP on a dell Dimension with 3G of memory.

Anyone KNOW how I can get it out to run again?
