A few weeks back I noticed a Vista update that said it would fix a problem where IE would sometimes “hang” for tens, twenty, thirty or more seconds at a time when starting up. I thought: “Whew, it wasn’t it my mind.” The update seemed to help.
However, this week I’m running into more hangs. I think it’s worse than before. These hangs though occur on certain pages, not all, and not simply when IE starts.
I updated some of the drivers on the Toshiba the other day so maybe that’s what’s going on. I know there’s a specific order these drivers need to be installed in or else “things can go wrong.” What those things are I don’t know. Maybe that’s the problem I’m running into. The only cure I understand is to do a clean install and there’s no way I’m going to set aside a dozen hours to reinstall everything and get this machine back in order. I’d rather limp along until I find another Tablet PC. Right now I have my eye on a Lenovo with dual digitizers and the forthcoming Dell Tablet PC.
