XPS, Vista, IE7. Browsing web works for an hour or two then stops
Hi, any ideas? I can get connected to the internet, but after an hour or so of use, web browsing stops working. The page appears to be loading but after a LONG wait with a totally blank window it will display a page cannot be displayed error. The internet is still connected, MSN, googletalk and email will still work, just browsing stops. I can close IE but to get it working again have to restart the PC.
I tried Google Chrome, but apart from finding it actually slower than IE, when browsing stops working it doesn't matter which browser I'm using, neither will work so I don't THINK it's a problem specific to IE. I've just had to restart the PC, and straight away browsing is back to full speed.
Thanks!
I got IE8 and it's worse than ever. When I close IE, if I look at the processes running it's still there and I can't kill it. I've tried in task manager and with Process Explorer but no luck. I have to reboot to get back on the web, while MSN is still fine.

Sorry about the serious delay in replying (lost track of this thread).
Problem with IE7 and IE8 eventually traced to Flash Player (upgrade cured all problems with browsers).
Good Luck
