I've seen variations of this.  Have a Vista machine where frequently, but not 
always, a web page will just hang, sometimes just near the beginning, 
sometimes near the end.  On the same network, I have an XP Laptop and can go 
to the same page and no problems.  In general, with XP there are no page 
displays problems, as there are with XP.  This is not a performance issue per 
se.  Downloads usually work fine, and page displays that don't hang are 
typically snappy.

I have disabled autotuning, to no avail.  In addition, when I use the MS 
tool to check compatibility, I pass all tests.  I have turned off IPV6.  I 
have installed the latest driver for my network card (Intel card - not a 
Realtek).  

The problem is not specific to one page, or one website - it is fairly 
pervasive, but erratic at same time.

Have you tried updating to the lastest version of Adobe's Flash Player?

Not in the last week, but have updated since this began.

Try uninstalling Flash, then reinstalling it.

If that does not work, try disabling your Add-ons one at a time, like google 
tool bar, etc

OK - uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it.  Ran FF in safemode.  Was their 
any improvement?  Hard to say.  When I didn't encounter the error, pages were 
definitely snappier.  Pages would still hang - with what frequency compared 
to previously - hard to say - too short a period of time yet.

You didn't say you were using Firefox!
This is Vista newsgroups, NOT Mozilla.
Check in their Newsgroups!

Are you using the Google toolbar as this produces that effect for some. 
I have just de-selected it to avoid the hang-ups. Apparently there is a 
fix in version 5, still beta I think.

Tom

Well, I removed the Google toolbar from FF3, and that seems to have solved my 
problem.  Been several hours now, and nothing that seems strange going on.  
Certainly surprised me as I haven't before or even since in searching, seen 
anything that suggest Google Toolbar could be an issue.

Thanks very much.

You're welcome, good to know it helped.
I stumbled on the effect by trial and error and later found a couple of 
references on a Google help forum but it does seem strangely 
unpublicised.  I miss the form auto-fill and single click news button.
