Using IE7, XP/SP3. Athlon 3200, 1GB RAM. Temp files etc. cleaned regularly and to the best of my knowledge clean of virusses and malware. Very often when clicking on a link the progress bar may go to around 3/4 then seems to get stuck. If I stop the page loading and refresh it will usually load the page fully with no problems. Should add that it's the same in Firefox and it's on no particular page or site. Any suggestions appreciated. -- Kenny Cargill |

That behavior is not so unusual, believe it or not. Let's start with a web page where all the content comes from one server. Sometimes, the packets of data forming that page run into roadblocks on their way from the server to your computer, and you need to reload the page (which means you're asking the server to send it to you again.) Now consider the more typical case of a web page where the content comes from several servers. Some server's content may find your computer right away, while others don't. What you see is a partial web page, and that pesky 'page is still loading' graphic. Reload the page and the servers send their content again - and this time you get lucky. For all its sophistication, the internet is still fragile. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Kenny wrote: > Using IE7, XP/SP3.
