Yes is was freezing up whilst viewing a website, could not close it or do anything so....................
I went to support through Microsoft, and found that to reinstall it was the simplest and best idea.
It is all good now, so worth remembering if you have the same symptons..

I had the same problem a few days ago Pete, laptop freezing completely due to glitch with IE7. I did a Factory restore, and everything now back to normal, except for IE7, which I got rid of .
I put IE6 back on, and haven't had any further trouble.[/size][/font]

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss IE7 Nocky, the fact that you did a factory restore would have solved any number of problems - the least of which was IE7 IMO

Hi mikkh, I wasn't dismissing IE7 out of hand, I know it works trouble free for many, but in my case, Googling the error message I was getting brought up lots of cases of people with the same trouble as me.
Turns out it was a known fault with IE7 and Microsoft's own work=around involved going into the Registry, something about Java script, too complicated for my old brain, so the next best suggestion was a total restore.
I've never had a problem with IE6, so I'll stick with with that for the moment. (from what I've read, IE8 will be a big improvement)

I believe some computers need a fix from Microsoft. The fix has to be installed before you install IE7. Thats easier than trying to fix it after its been installed.
