Browser hangs when loading page...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have Windows XP that has just been formatted and reinstalled...and when I
go to browse in either IE or Firefox...7 out of 10 times I go to load a web
page (not any particular page, it seems to be non-discriminatory) it will
hang about half way loading the page...so If I hit the stop button (whether
it's been 5 minutes or 5 seconds)...it pops up the rest of the page!!!! So I
didn't know if anyone was aware of anything in particular that was related to
this kind of behavior!!!!?? And like I said...it is a BRAND NEW format and
install of XP SP2 so It can't have viruses/spyware!!!!

I was using the firefox browser to compare and see if that fixed the
problem, but it didn't!!
