IE New window freeze reopened


I have seen some articles with this happening but have not seen a good fix yet? When I click on a link that opens to a new window IE locks up. The funny thing is that if I quickly right click the toolbar of the ie page and click close, the new window will open. But anyway I've tried reregistering the dlls like suggested and disabling active x scripting and all that. I've even did a refresh reinstall of XP and re ran all the updates and it is still not working! FYI, I also had installed Adaware and spyblaster and spybot. I removed adaware and spyblaster and no change. Someone please lend a hand....
**So........What does that tell you  

Hopefully it tells you IE suks and hopefully you will use a different browser like mozzila.**
i just figured out what the problem was. if you enable the “titlebar” in firefox’s “customize…” window (it is a checkbox at the bottom) then the traditional window titlebar appears (with the buttons on the left) and the click and drag thing works. who knew? I had the same problem a couple of months back. Now if this is happening only with Chrome and not with other browsers, then the problem cannot be a virus. But it can be a virus if other browsers and programs are facing equal problems.  
  
So, with chrome as we all know there is a memory problem. So to solve that follow these simple steps.  
  
1. On the top right menu icon, select History  
2. From there select "clear browsing data"  
3. It will prompt for the time span, there you select "beginning of time"  
4. You might lose few data like saved passwords, favorites, but no data will be removed which are saved properly.  
  
After you are done with this, clean your system with Disk Cleaning Software. While doing this don't keep any browser window open especially Chrome.  
If you notice, it is skipping out the Chrome from the list, you have to select the program manually and click on "clear".  
  
After this restart your system and see if it works. If it doesn't then you have to undergo the entire process of uninstalling and re-installing Chrome. i just solved the problem myself. there was something wrong with my browser. after a restart everything is working as expected. sorry for the hassle. this issue is now confirmed fixed by a large percentage of our user base. if you're still having issues, please make sure you on the latest version of malwarebytes (at the time of this article, it's malwarebytes 3.5.1.2522 with component package version 1.0.441).
 


 


 if you continue to have issues after that, please make a new post using the following as a guideline We identified a scenario where locking could occur, and released a fix in version 13.0.1. If anyone is experiencing this issue, please upgrade to 13.0.1. how to password protect your browser

1. in internet explorer click on the cog icon in the top right hand corner.
2. a drop down menu appears – click on tools and then in the box that appears click on the 'content' tab at the top.
3. then enable the content advisor…
4. the next step is to set the password. nvm, i think it might be because i was force running it. i reopened the script and it appears to work. strangely enough it did in a strange way. i reinstalled, set up everything again from scratch (agents too) and got the same ‘not connected’ error.

i got frustrated and left it overnight.

the following morning in the office i checked and it discovered both services!

so i guess you could close this… Have you tried restarting your browser? Hey [@Snapm2r](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/468609), 


 


Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community about this issue!
 
Seems what you’re experiencing is due to the connection to our server being blocked or interrupted. As a first step, I’d recommend having a look at your settings locally, since it seems like an [antivirus](https://www.dropbox.com/help/syncing-uploads/stuck-syncing), firewall, security program, [proxy](https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/connecting-through-proxy) or VPN is blocking the Dropbox desktop. Can you make sure that these steps are [followed for the configuration of your firewall](https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/configuring-firewall) if you’re on a working environment and that the domains listed [here](https://www.dropbox.com/help/217) are allowed or whitelisted?
 

Should the above steps fail, then please try installing the newest version of the desktop application (32.4.xx) to see if the issues is resolved:
