Downgrade to IE 7. Also try using another browser. Such as the Google Chrome. Other wise try downloading the Internet Download Manager.

Uninstall the IE 8. From Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

REinstall the IE 7 From Contol Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add or remove Windows Components > Check the IE box. Click next and install.

Internet explorer 8 hangs on opening a web page

Thanks for visiting FixYa!

There could be several reasons why IE8 is hanging. If you're using Windows Vista / 7 you may want to upgrade to IE-9. Click here to download IE-9

If you're using Windows XP, you can try the following:

1) Click here to: Reset Internet Explorer settings

2) Click here for: What to do if Internet Explorer stops responding

3) Make sure you have Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 installed on your PC. IE-8 only runs correctly with SP2 or SP3.

4) Re-install IE-8. Click here to Download IE-8 If you can't get to the internet on your PC with IE-8, use another browser if you have one. If you don't have another browser installed on your PC, download Firefox or Google Chrome to a USB thumb-drive from another computer and download one of them to your PC from there.

5) If you've (either, by accident or intentionally) downloaded a third-party browser helper, there may be a software conflict causing IE-8 to hang. To check, go to your Control Panel and select 'Add or Remove Programs'. Look to see if there is a 'third party' browser helper installed. If so, uninstall it.

6) If you're able to get to the Internet at all, go to Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) - download and install it. Click here to download. You may have something on your PC that MSE can help you with.

7) Make sure you have enough RAM in your PC. At the very minimum, Windows XP needs 512Mb of RAM. 1GB is better.

Hopefully this will help.

Dear Sir, My HTC Smart is super slow & i sometime even can't send out masseges... i never install anything or use any SD Card... but i don't want to reinstall / reformat the whole phone....

With the Android OS, it is common that apps remain open in the background. Applications inclue your Messenger, Browser, Music, etc. (Not just the applications you download from the Market). I advise that you download a Task Manager from the Market. These can be found for free. Also, with Android always updating the OS, it fills a lot of memory on your phone. Installing a small SD card may be helpful for speed.

Unable to view youtube vids , it says that I require adobe flash player. When I try to download adobe,it tells me I do not have system requirements. Also unable to re-calibrate touchpad. Have tried reset?

http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
You may need Java. The first link is for Java. The second link is for Flash Player. You must make sure you don't have any prior versions of either app. If you have Java, Find your Java icon, click on it and click on update tab. When installing Flash player you ahve to be out of all other windows and not signed in to anything that will interfere ie, messenger. If something is stopping you downlaod, a window will come up telling you what it is. You can get out of that app and finish download.

IE 7 problems with missing tabs,not being able to download

This fix works for both missing IE7 tabs and missing Desktop icon in Display Properties. Good luck!

Open up a command prompt (cmd.exe from "run") and enter the following;

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /V ClassicShell /T REG_DWORD /F /D 0

This should sort out your problem.
