IE not responding

I am running Vista Home Premium with IE7.
Roughly 3 times out of 10 when I click on IE to bring it to the screen it
gets as far as "Connecting" before coming to a halt and shows "Internet
Explorer not responding".
Anyone got any bright ideas on how to fix this?

Is this on one site or group of sites in particular or is it completely
random?

Re: IE not responding

Hi,

How many homepages do you have and is any one of them in your trusted sites
zone?

Previous fixes have required removing *.google.com from your trusted sites
zone (placed there by the Google toolbar installer) or making sure that all
of your homepages domains are in the same security zone.

Regards.

My thanks to Gary, Gordon and Rob who provided suggestions re. my problem.
I will explore these in due course, but at the moment I will concentrate on
the reply from Rick which seemed to be the most likely cause of the trouble.
Much appreciated everyone.
