I don't know if anyone else is experiencing similar issues, but in the last week or so, my internet explorer has has serious issues loading certain websites such as msn.com, hotmail.com and weather.com. However, many other websites load just fine. I am currently having to use AOL to pull up these sites. I keep hitting refresh because it partially loads some pages in IE, but then stops and every so often refresh will work and it will pull up the full page. This is a recent problem and my computer is only about 45 days old. I tried reinstalling IE to no avail and was going to attempt to reinstall XP but need to really think that through first. I even uninstalled numerous programs that I thought might be conflicting with XP and therefore IE, however that did not work either. I even did the system restore to an earlier date prior to when the issue started, but also to no avail. I know it isn't my internet connection because everything else works fine and it worked fine until about a week ago. Any suggestions? (I have done the accept all cookies thing and they still won't load and even added them to my always accept cookies from these sites).
