My computer has stopped responding when I click on a link or on a "click here for further info". I can sometimes go to the linked website by copying the link to the address line. This is a recent development as I have always been able to use all links.

I'm using Win98 second addition with MS Internet Explorer.
Thanks for your help, Hal

When you open IE normaly does it freeze? As an addendum to that my first guess would be that you have multiple search bars(virus scan Google Yahoo aim etc) try uninstalling all of them and that should fix it. If this isn't your solution pelase post more info on what version IE your running, is your win 98 fully patched etc.

If you're on a network, it's probably their firewall or antivirus preventing you.
