Does this happen to anyone else?


Recommended Posts

I've been on 7 for about 3 weeks now. I love it and it's everything that I wanted from Vista. At any rate, I just started noticing something weird happening in IE8 yesterday, and it's been doing it today as well.

I have multiple tabs open in IE8 ... 8-10, sometimes more. I recently started to notice that when I go to open a new tab, it will not connect to any site. It tells me the page cannot be displayed. I can still ping out, and I'm still connected to the network. When I jump over to an existing tab, I can navigate around that page just fine.

This will continue for a few minutes, and then I can get out again. I have no idea what this could be. Would it have anything to do with the 10 max TCP connections limit?

I posted an article on an update for an issue that sounds similar to that one:

The first issue resolved is one which, according to the Microsoft Support site, caused the browser to hang, and show this error message: "A webpage is not responding on the following website: (Website name)".

Do you get an error message with it? Make sure you've got any updates available installed too.

Thanks for the response. There is no error message; it simply states Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. It doesn't go to that right away however. The page will try to load what seems like indefinitely when this occurs as the busy circle will keep going round and round on the tab.

Something else which could be related. I also started to notice simple functions within Explorer are getting hung up for a few sec. There's a delay and the window will display (not responding) but then it'll come back up after a sec. This doesn't do it all the time. When that happens, my CPU usage is NOT pegged at 100% nor is my HD thrashing.

I do have all Windows Updates and I don't think that link is applicable to my situation.

Ah well that is my one and only issue I know the answer to regarding IE8 :p so I'm afraid I'll leave it to the other guys :)

Hope you get it sorted,

Sam
