Hi

I installed XP x64 edition on November 1st and have had this problem ever
since:

Internet Explorer often either:
(1) Freezes up entirely, or more often
(2) Goes in the background behind all other windows and there is no way to
bring it to the front.

Not sure of 32-bit or 64-bit internet explorer is running in each situation,
but I know most recently when I terminated a frozen internet explorer, task
manager's process tab referred to it as "IEXPLORE.EXE *32" so I presume it
was the 32-bit version in *that* situation.

Either Advice or shared horror stories are welcome.

Thanks
Rob

Could you give us some info on your computer specs? Is it using a nVidia
chip set? If so, its possibly the nVidia Firewall? Uninstall that if you are
using the nVidia Chip by installing the firewall then uninstall it.
