Grr, I try going on CokeMusic and any shockwave file (flash is fine) and my internet just locks up. Won't let me view any pages or go on any messengers but says I'm stil lconnected.
I try disconnecting and reconnecting and won't reconnect! So to sort it I have to restart my computer!

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Shockwave plugin, tried IE and MoZilla, contacted my ISP and they don't know WTF is going on. This is the 3rd install of Windows that it's happened to!  :innocent:

Any ideas?

Locking up could be due to the existence of some small virus, adware or spyware, search for them.

Also, update your windows, browser and also shockwave plugins.

Try mini'mising your window as soon as you hit enter to that page too.  :innocent:
