Have you ever wanted to know just exactly how many background processes were running on your computer, and what files they had opened? Process Explorer is a new freeware program available now from Microsoft.

 And I have to ask a question of my fellow computer junkies:  How do you fix an IE 7 install that doesn’t ever connect to the net, it just hangs and says ‘connecting….’ forever?  This is on a Win XP SP2 computer that I am trying to update with all the latest Windows updates.  I have tried installing IE7 as directed by this helpful website:  http://ict.cas.psu.edu/training/howto/comm/ie7/installie7.htm and this website: http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html, but upon opening, it just hangs.

I have run CrapCleaner first, I have disabled the AVG anti-virus, I have run IE7 in no add-ons mode, when I try to go to ->tools, ->internet options, ->connections, the program hangs.

 When I open IE7 for the first time after the new install, it hangs on the ‘runonce’ page, just saying ‘connecting…’ forever.

 Can anyone help me?
