Whenever I click a link in a post in WHT the browser window freezes and I have to ctrl alt delete it! I run win XP so it want's to send an error report every time I do that, and no fix from Microsoft. Other websites work fine. Any idea?

I was having the same problem, but switched back to Mozzila and haven't had an issue since.

The problem started today, and I have the same browser since I started posting on WHT. I'm not exactly sure how WHT is working behind the scene, but my thought is that when I call for whatever is in the link, the wht server starts to try and give it to me, but for some reason it can't and my own browser window (that waits for new content) freezes. When I use the ctrl alt delete I can see that the window (with WHT) is still supposed to be working properly, even if it isn't.

Funny you should say this because it locked up Windows 2000 for me. Ctrl-Alt-Del wouldn't even work but Winamp kept on serving the tunes...

xphome/ie6 - works fine
xppro/ie6 - works fine
xphome/ns - works fine

could it *possibly* be the ensim flash ad?

IE6/mozilla/phoenix on win 2k--fine
ie6/phoenix on win xp--fine
mozilla on various unixes--fine

I don't have flash on any system.

I experienced that yesterday, but it was most definately an issue on my side. (My computer had been running some intensive programs, which slowed down the processor). I'm not entirely sure what your problem could be..

Thats probably what it is.. Gets annoying when I hit the back button in my browser only to have that ad screw up my window, putting the flash right in the middle of the window..

Doesn't hurt anything in my case, but I could see it messing with some browsers to that point..

Well... seems to be working for now. My computer acted up a lot before the weekend, but after a rest and reboot, it now seems to work. When I shut it down I had a lot of reports of software that hadn't shut down properly. Very strange. Guess it's that XP thingy. Juts hate it at the moment. It's hard to write books about it when it's not installed though.

Thanks for all your input! It's nice to know I'm not alone. :)
