Internet Explorer stops Responding.

Hi All,

I am facing a very peculiar problem. What happens is  while  i am surfing
on the web the downloading stops for  a very brief period of time  say
a 1 -2  minutes  but starts again after that time.
Even if  i open a  different brwowser window there is no response  but i  don't  get the 404 error.  It  just  seems  to hang for  a  breif  period of time but  cumlatively it amounts o  lot of wasted time. I have already tried reinstalling the OS from Scractch to get around  the situation but the problem persists. I am  using Windows 98 second  edition. My PC is  P4  2.3 ghz with 512 physical RAM.  Also i would  like to specify that there  is
no problem  with my Tel Line modem  which  is 56.6 kbps modem as i am  getting the  same problem  when i use  my mobile phone to surf the  net in which case the  mobile  acts like a modem and i face  the same problem when connecting  the net  using the mobile . If  any one amoung  you guys have come across  such a problem please let me know how to avoid it .

Thanks  in Advance.

Regards ,
Vikrant Patil

Thanks CrazyOne,war1 & Razor6666 for all of  your suggestions,

I have tried all of what you  have suggetsed  except removing  IE5.5 using  eradicator and  installing IE 6.0 . i do not  have copy of IE 6.0 with right  now and don't have a  high speed ( Broad band)  connection to  download
it. I will get it  on a CD at the earliest and after installing it  definitely give
a feedback on the same  as soon as possible.
Thanks again.
Have a good day!

IE Radicator is a good tool to remove Internet Explorer and a lot of junk that goes with it. Then when you reinstall, it is fresh install.
Hi war1, CrazyOne &  Razor6666,

Thanks  for your suggestions. Unfortunately they did  not help me solve the problem .
I even tried installing IE 6.0. But  I have learnt something new  from your suggestions which i will put to good use and  thanks for that. I will update this thread if and  when i find a  solution to the specified  problem.

Have a Nice Day!!!
