amazon hangs internet explorer 7
The problem I am encountering is that when I try to link to www.amazon.co.uk or www.amazon.com, internet explorer 7 freezes. It tries to link, gets the heading and then frezes. I have to go into windows task manager to end task. No other windows are affect i.e. it doesn't freeze the machine only the amazon screen).
IE7 operates OK with all other sites.
Operating system is XP Pro.
Any ideas?

Firefox link
I would suggest using firefox, I like it much better than IE explorer anyway and its free.

I found this from a link jeffery gave me,
"When you connect to some servers, they have to be converted into an IP address in order to connect. A file called HOSTS stores these IP addresses. When the address changes it becomes invalid and you are unable to connect to that website.
To fix this:
1. Close all browsers. Go to Start, Find and select Files or Folders.
2. Find a file called "hosts" (without the quotes) that has no extension and rename it to hosts.bak.
3. No reboot is necessary. The changes are immediate. If this does not fix the problem, then likely it is trouble with the owners."
Hope this helps.
