Re: IE 7 Freezing--Where Is The Newsgroup?

During the last 90-120 days the freezes have become intolerable [on my
system]. I'm almost ready to reinstall Vista - however I have the feeling
that Vista perhaps, is where the trouble lies!

More likely incompatible add-ins for IE or some hardware failing....

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

There is a known problem with Adobe Flash 10 causing IE7 to freeze randomly.
The failing module is Flash10a.ocx
According to reports on adobe.com forum Adobe must have been aware of this
error at least since early November 2008, but so far no solution seems to
having been provided.

There seems to be only two possible ways to circumvent this problem:
1: Disable Shockwave Flash Object in IE7 (via Manage Add-ons)
2: uninstall Flash 10 and drop back to Flash 9 (I haven't tried this myself)

Flash 10 has some important improvements that I would be loathe to abandon.
