XP SP2 hangs when shuting down IE
I am experiencing a complete hang of XP when I shut down IE. This lasts for
about 40 seconds; afterwards everything returns to normal. I installed XP SP2 with the network install file. That is when this developed. I am also experiencing "not responding" conditions of IE more frequently. It used to be an occasional annoyance with IE; now it's frequent but not consistent. Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? Kevin |

XP SP2 hangs when shuting down IE
Check your system for "hijackware":
Help with Hijackware http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/Darnit.htm CoolWebSearch Chronicles http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html Run these tools in the following order with nothing else running in background: 1. CWShredder (fix all found) 2. Ad-Aware (fix all found) 3. Spybot (RTFM but generally fix everything in red) Important: You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every use, even "right out of the box". But even they can't catch everything, 24/7. When all else fails, HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe) is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 for expert analysis, not here.** [Alternate download pages for many of the above tools may be found at http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm.] Also: 1. Download and run Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/); then... 2. Update your virus definitions, enable Show Hidden Files (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...02092715262339) and then run a full system scan in Safe Mode (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01052409420406) with nothing else running in background. Note the files identified and removed then find the corresponding page for the file at your AV maker's online support pages (e.g., http://securityresponse.symantec.com...favorites.html) and follow all Removal steps. WinXP Only (WinME similar): If this scan finds anything, create a new Restore Point then Disk Cleanup More options Delete all but the most recent Restore Point. 3. Check in at Windows Update. So How Did I Get Infected Anyway? http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE), AH-VSOP Are You Ready for WinXP SP2? http://support.microsoft.com/default...r=windowsxpsp2 What You Should Know About Spyware http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...ssoftware.mspx AumHa Forums http://forum.aumha.org kahout wrote: I am experiencing a complete hang of XP when I shut down IE.
