Hi, 

My hotmail temporarily freezes for 10's of seconds to many minutes.  The processor is not busy, only 4% and there is no data uploading or down loading during these periods.  The only solution to stop the longer freezes is to disconnect the internet connection and reconnect it and then instantly all is OK until it happens again.  I am running I.E. 8 on an XP machine and have run a full virus check with Norton that showed no problems.

What is the possible cause of the Hotmail freezing issue???

Regards

Derek
