Just wondering if anyone else is havings same problems as I, and if anyone
knows of a fix?

I am running XP home SP2, IE 6... I am using McAfee firewall and virus
scan...

Ok, I have been away from home on business for about 6 months, of course in
that time i had security updates and such waiting to be installed from
microsoft. Everything has worked great, until I installed these updates. Now,
I can browse, but at some point, all open IE windows and, windows explorer
windows freeze, then I get a not responding message, for a single open
window, I end now, and all windows even those in the task bar, close, and my
screen is wiped clean from top to bottom. After about 1 minute everything on
my desktop reappears, and then I can restart everything just fine, except I
have lost everything I didn't get saved. This only seems to occur when I am
using IE. It does not appear to do this, when I am not using IE.

I am currently, up to date on virus and spyware programs, when I run those,
they turn up nothing. I have no extra toolbars installed. I have tried system
restore and can only restore back to the time AFTER I intalled the last
updates from microsoft.

Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
