Why does TPF lock up my browser?

[tirediron]

Can anyone tell me what setting(s) or protocols TPF has used which cause my browswer to lock up and/or not respond? Typically, can get 3-5 page loads between occurrences. When it does happen, the only option is to close the window, and open a new one. Repeated presses of any option have no effect, nor does F5. On a shared dial-up connection this is a painful process to say the least.

I access two other boards running the same front-end vBulliten sofware, as well as a number of other boards using various UBB software, so I am confident it is neither my computer nor the fact that this is a general bulletin-board issue.

I am running Win XP Pro, SP2 on a high-end HP Notebook.

Might help if we knew what browswer you were using...

This is the first I've heard of it. We don't do anything special with how we run things, so I don't have any ideas offhand...

Try firefox 3.

Agreed, get firefox, IE can't handle that heavy use. Multi window/tab browsing on IE is problematic at best from my experience. I ended up going agenst the wishes of my employer and dopwnloaded FF because I could not use IE on this computer. My internet obligations and use locked it up every time.
