Only for about three or four days now, my browser is repeatedly crashing when loading pages at the HTF. It does not happen on most HTF pages, only occassionally, but repeatedly in a single day of browsing HTF. I never had this problem at HTF before. When it does crash, it is a severe crash that causes me to have to close all frozen IE windows, using ctrl-alt-del. Once it froze my entire system requiring a reboot using the power-on button (since Start menu also froze, and couldn't even ctrl-alt-del that time).
I have not had this problem with other web sites. I suspect (but can't be certain) that some advertising may be causing this, as it seems to crash about the time when the banner ads are loading.
I run Windows XP Home Edition "Version 2002" SP1, with all the security updates to date, except I've held off on SP2 so far.
I'm running Internet Explorer XPSP2, version 6.0. I occassionally also run Webwasher 3.3, but not always. I've experimented surfing HTF with & without Webwasher loaded, but neither way prevented crashes. I also have always used Cookie Pal (set to allow HTF cookies). Any idea what may be going on?
