It has taken me days to figure out why my Internet Explorer was not responding or was opening very slowly or not opening at all. I often had to open Task Manager to stop IE and ofen found two copies running.  It appears the problem is with the Google Toolbar. I discovered this when turning off the IE add-ons and when the Google add ons were disabled then IE worked as it should.  I have uninstalled the Google Toolbar. IE now works as it should. I would like to use the Google Toolbar. Does anyone know of a fix for this?  I think the problem occurred when I updated the Google Toolbar.  I am running XP3 on the computer with this problem.
