I've seen variations of this. Have a Vista machine where frequently, but not
always, a web page will just hang, sometimes just near the beginning,
sometimes near the end. On the same network, I have an XP Laptop and can go
to the same page and no problems. In general, with XP there are no page
displays problems, as there are with XP. This is not a performance issue per
se. Downloads usually work fine, and page displays that don't hang are
typically snappy.

I have disabled autotuning, to no avail. In addition, when I use the MS
tool to check compatibility, I pass all tests. I have turned off IPV6. I
have installed the latest driver for my network card (Intel card - not a
Realtek).

The problem is not specific to one page, or one website - it is fairly
pervasive, but erratic at same time.

Have you tried updating to the lastest version of Adobe's Flash Player?

Not in the last week, but have updated since this began.

Try uninstalling Flash, then reinstalling it.

If that does not work, try disabling your Add-ons one at a time, like google
tool bar, etc

OK - uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it. Ran FF in safemode. Was their
any improvement? Hard to say. When I didn't encounter the error, pages were
definitely snappier. Pages would still hang - with what frequency compared
to previously - hard to say - too short a period of time yet.

You didn't say you were using Firefox!
This is Vista newsgroups, NOT Mozilla.
Check in their Newsgroups!

Are you using the Google toolbar as this produces that effect for some.
I have just de-selected it to avoid the hang-ups. Apparently there is a
fix in version 5, still beta I think.

Well, I removed the Google toolbar from FF3, and that seems to have solved my
problem. Been several hours now, and nothing that seems strange going on.
Certainly surprised me as I haven't before or even since in searching, seen
anything that suggest Google Toolbar could be an issue.

Thanks very much.

You're welcome, good to know it helped.
I stumbled on the effect by trial and error and later found a couple of
references on a Google help forum but it does seem strangely
unpublicised. I miss the form auto-fill and single click news button.
