Hi Squeak D

Go into tools, options, programs and click manage Add on, you can then disable each one individually until you find the one that is causing the problem.

In addition make sure you have the latest version of flash and shockwave installed.

Finally download a plug-in called IE7Pro http://www.ie7pro.com/index.php which will allow you to do all sorts with IE to make the browsing experience more to your liking.

Hope this helps

Regards

Bill
