IE8 hangs and CPU at 50%.

Hi,

I've got a problem with IE8 on a Dell D830 laptop with Vista SP1.

When I visit the MS Business Solutions newsgroups and do a search, my IE
stops responding and the IE process is constantly at 50% CPU utilisation.
This only happens when doing a search. So browsing the newsgroups works just
fine.

The link:
http://www.microsoft.com/Businesssol...ang=en&cr =US

I've allready tried several things:
- Boot in to safe mode (with network), the issue does not occur. --> The
search works fine.
- Booted with a minimum of services (only network) and no startup items
using MSConfig. --> IE still stops responding.
- Done a sfc /scannow. --> IE still stops responding.
- Reset Internet Explorer settings --> IE still stops responding.

I've not experienced it on another website. Doing a search on this
newsgroup, works just fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Erik

I can not reproduce your problem here. Have you tried troubleshooting your
Add-ons? I don't see that listed in the Troubleshooting steps you've taken
to date.

Good luck,

Thanx for your response.

I also cannot reproduce the problem on another pc.

I did troubleshoot the add-ons by starting IE8 with the 'Browse Without
Add-ons' and also disabled the 'Enable third-party browser extensions' on the
Advanced tab in the internet options. This does not solve the issue.

Regards,

Erik

And if you Uninstall IE8 and revert to IE7 does the problem persist:

If not, then try re-installing IE8 using the manual installer. Save the

Re-Install IE8 manually:

If no joy, then try the IE8 installation Troubleshooting site:

If still no joy, then contact customer support.
