A few weeks ago, around the time of the early clock-moving-forward, IE had some weird behaviors:
Symptoms:
I'd click the IE shortcut and google, my homepage, would start up. I'd see the cursor flash once or twice on the search bar, then it'd disappear. IE would freeze for 1-2 minutes, it'd almost seem like a graphical freeze. After an amount of time, it'd be good to go and never freeze again, no matter what site or what I did.
This always happened with any new IE window, either clicking the shortcut to my homepage, or a link on a page.
I eventually just formatted my computer and that (of course) solved the problem.
Now, today, I noticed the same thing. This monday would have been the traditional time-forward (I think) cause my computer already tried to do it. Well, what do I notice last night? Same thing starts happening, might have started doing it monday too, not sure.
I download a cracked IE7 from pirate bay, and install it (it has 100's of downloads, so its not bugged). Same thing fucking happens, complete freeze for 1-2min. Even if I try to open up a link in a new tab, that tab freezes for the same problem.
I havent patched or anything for the time change, not sure if that's the problem.
I have a cracked SP2, havent had any problems with it.
The IE7 has 3 hotfixes packaged with it, I've used those.
My clock is the current time, EST.
Got latest directx 9.0c. Have had this and my new gfx card since december, its a 1650 and works like a charm. I did install BF2142 around both those times (I think), but this was a few days prior to both these incidents (at least the present case)
No major software installs around either time (besides 2142).
HELP! This is bothersome beyond annoying.
