I have some old laptops (256mb memory) which I occasionally play with and the symptoms you mention I often get as a consequence of low memory. How much memory do you have? Might be worth running a check to see if any of it has gone down. :xmas-smiley-031:

Do you have the Google toolbar installed in IE ?

Uninstall it and then reintall, try that.
