Anybody else? HELP! DU keeps locking up for me.

Then I get a pop up box at the bottom of my screen saying that DU is not responding due to a long running script. I click on a button that says Stop Script - it works for a while and then the same thing happens again.. and again.. Been having this problem since shortly after the new server was installed. Can anyone help me? I click on a post and then try to hit the back button and it just locks up. What is the "long running script"? Never had this happen before..

ATA. I figure they are probably off preparing for x-mas, but emailing them might work.

I've tried other sites and they seem to work OK - just DU that is locking up.

Here:

https://www.google.com/chrome/

Or

http://www.firefox.com

Better than Exploder. In any case, Chrome is really streamlined and very nice to use, and it's the browser I use.

Good luck, and happy holidays!

Yeah I know IE is not the best but it is the one that I know and since it doesn't seem to happen on other sites, well I am confused. I am currently downloading some "optional" updates (the important ones are done automatically). Don't know if these will help but I am beyond frustrated. I need my DU!!!!

a disk clean-up. It only takes a couple minutes and is really easy. I do it at least once a day, you can pisk up a lot of errant crap online, and as others said, check for updates for your browser.
