[AT] So, How do you Like Windows 7? (Off topic computer question)

[charliehill]

Larry,  I'm running IE 7 on a 6 year old XP powered notebook.  A year ago I 
could do the same thing but lately I have problems with windows freezing up 
and not closing.  Funny thing is sometimes a web site will freeze up in one 
window, I can open another window to the same web site and run it with no 
problem then shut it down and the other window will still be hung up.

I mentioned the problem here a few days ago and others seem to have the same 
problem.

Charlie
