Windows XP Pro SP2

If this is not bizarre, I don't know.

I've been trying to solve this problem for months. Loading
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...ne/newsgroups/ in IE7 causes it to hang
with the CPU at about 60% and will stay that way forever. It happens more
than 9 times out of 10, so sometimes I get through.

Getting tired of ending iexplore.exe's process then opening IE7 and
selecting the newsgroup's shortcut, I copied the Favourite to the Desktop.
Double clicking the shortcut opened IE in a normal window, unmaximized. But
now the web page opens fine. But if I press the maximize button IE hangs!
Bizzare!

I have tried:

1. Starting IE without Add-Ons = Not
2. Resetting IE zones = Not
3. Delete all, chkdsk, etc., etc. = Not
4. Anti virus off = Not
5. All Microsoft domains added to Trusted Zone = Not
6. Hosts file = Not

The Nobel prize to the one with the correct answer!

PS: Where is the thread for Internet Explorer 7?

Try a proper newsreader instead of the quirky web interface you are
using.

Outlook Express Newsreader-Setting up

http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/resou...tm#setupmsnews

As to the IE7 group...
The recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...orer. general

Dear Alan,

I want thank you again from inside OE using the newsreader. This is much
better! I love it!

ju.c

Glad to be of service. (I didn't really need a Nobel prize anyway)
