Enduring the Grinding Halt

CEFreeman
9 years ago

Hi all.
I'm having trouble with several different browsers, which indicates to me that I've got bigger trouble with my system than just a browser.

I'm running the God-awful W7 Pro, SP1.
My preferred browser is IE 11, 11.0.8.

I find if I have too many tabs open, my entire system freezes. It will take several minutes for things to release, then it bounces back and forth applying any keystrokes I've slammed in the meanwhile. But trying to change tabs brings it to a halt again. I constantly receive xxxx site is not responding. B.S. I have yet to determine what "too many tabs" is. I find I need to resort to a very dated solution to free my system, which is to reboot the darned thing.

I'm using a script to reregister .dlls. It's set up in my Startup folder, so it runs before I start any browsers.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm doing some knowledge base searches and blogs that deal with system issues. Other than running one tab at a time, which would then bring my work to a grinding halt, any ideas for solutions?

Thanks!
