it's exactly the same with either IE or Firefox.<br />
It's worked fine for over a month until the last few days.<br />
I've cleared the caches and rebooted.

I manage a windows 2008 server (virtual) as a web server but over the past few days it has developed a serious problem. when a browser is open and opening most web pages (but not all) the server virtually locks up; it grinds to a halt and you can't click on anything for about 5 minutes.<br />
It's generally running slower over-all anyway even without a browser open.<br />
It's the same whether IIS is running or not.<br />
There's nothing obvious in the event logs.<br />
Task manager shows very low CPU usage and applications look normal. System memory usage is about 60%<br />
no viruses or spyware<br />
<br />
Any suggestions anyone?
