Hey agb, you might want to give some more information. Like how long has the problem been occuring, is it a new computer, or did you change something on your system, or did it just start happening randomly? Have you got IE 7?

And if it's not working I'm not sure how u're getting access to the internet, but you might want to try downloading Firefox from here
and see if you still get the problem.

Also if you recently changed hardware, undo the change and see if it helps. If you recently changed software, use System Restore, that might help. Don't know what other people reckon really. Also try Microsoft's Support Forums/Articles, I've gotten some good help from there many a time.
