IMDB Website

Recently when I have connected to IMDB.com the page has frozen. I then have to reboot the computer. Has anyone else had a problem?

No problems with IMDB using Firefox.

Is it just your internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc.) which has frozen - i.e. can you still run programs from the start menu, for example) - or is it your whole system?

no, I was just on it (Firefox) and no problems.

I can still access other websites. I am not technically minded so don't understand Firefox

Firefox is just a browser like Internet Explorer (a better one in my opinion) but it doesn't come loaded on to your computer as a rule, so you have to download it.

It's free and genuine. Once it's on your computer you use it the same way as IE.

So why do you need to reboot?

One thing to try is when you are in Internet Explorer (presuming that is where the problem is), select the INTERNET OPTIONS from the TOOLS menu. WIth IE7, in the GENERAL tab is BROWSING HISTORY and a button to DELETE various thing (temporary files, history, cookies etc.) - click on this and then restart Internet Explorer. I don't use IE8 to know if the labels are exactly the same. No guarantees that it will fix the problem. If it doesn't then there is still no need to reboot your machine - but I won't overload you with info for now.

And, as jno suggests, you might consider using FIrefox if you're feeling adventurous - it's better imho too.

A few people have been having trouble with IMDb, this may be the same problem. Looks like Firefox is one answer...
