Internet explorer not responding - can anyone help me fix this

[UnnDunn]

Which version of Windows are you running? Which version of Internet Explorer? Does the problem occur all the time, or just sometimes? Does it always happen when you do something specific, or does it happen randomly? Are there any software items you have installed recently that might have precipitated this problem?

The best thing to do for Internet Explorer:

1: Remove any excessive add-ons for the browser, such as Coupon Printers, Toolbars, Java, etc that you do not use. You may use the default/stock plug-ins without issue from Microsoft.

2: Lately Adobe Flash has been causing issues. Remove Flash from the system and then re-install it from Adobe's website, http://adobe.com/ (AVOID INSTALLING THE TOOLBAR).

3: Clear the Browser cache and limit it to 8-20MB. This can be done from the Internet Options in the Control Panel.
