Depends. What OS are you running? Win9x/ME, Win2k, or WinXP? I had problems like that when I was running IE 5.5 on WinME, when my system finally started going into the terminal phase of Windows rot. Then I finally upgraded to Win2k and IE 6.0. Currently I am very happy.

That's very unusual. What version of IE are you using? What processes do you have running? Have you checked for spyware or done a virus scan recently?
5.0 I think.. And it's running on a 56K and a Pentium 4. Just ran NAV yesterday morning.
That'll do it. IE5 is junk. It's slow and unreliable. You've got the horsepower, go up to IE6.
