Exploer & IE locking up?

[Nilgni]

I have an issue where IE locks when you try to type into the url bar and explorer locks when you try to use the dialouge box to open a file.

The dialouge box just freezes and then comes back with an error.

IE will work going to an address using other methods.

Could it be DNS? Thanks for any suggestions

have you ran some anti-spyware software on it recently? That might be your problem
