Help - I have a frozen Google! « Posted: 12 October 2011 at 09:49 PM »
Is anyone else having problems with opening anything in Google?  It opens, but cannot access anything - cannot put in an address - nothing! It’s just locked up.  Earlier this evening I had about 10 updates - including, one for IE9 (Cumulative Security Update for IE9 - 10.5MB)  and  my OS is Windows 7. Continued using PC for a while, then closed it down.

Returned to about half-an-hour ago and Google opened - then the little “spinning blue circle” appeared for a while, Google shut itself down for around 20 seconds, opened up again, and went through the same process around 10 times.  Thought it might be doing some installation work - so later shut down and restarted.  Now, when I get to the Google screen it’s locked up.  Of course, the stupid Google Doodle is working merrily away!  And so I definitely have a frozen Google!

Has anyone else had these updates and similar problems - or have I been ‘specially selected?
I'm posting this on my oh-so-slow (snail-paced) laptop!

Have been re-trying (very trying!) and now get a lttle panel popping up telling me that IE9 is not responding . . . I could have told them that!  BangHead

Doesn't help at all!  Grin

Interestingly, after d/l the 10 updates and switched the PC off.  Shortly after a new neighbour rang - could I help?  His computer (running XP + IE8) is having a funny turn - when he opens Internet Explorer it's "zoomed in" at around 400% - so all he's got on screen are the two letter "O's" of google!  Cheesy

I've switched off the PC and when I've posted this I'll be climbing the apples and pears - and continue you reading my book - the latest about Wallace Simpson.  'night all!

Will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings forth . . . . if it's still the same, I think a System Restore will be called for!

Could he have accidentally pressed CTRL + a few times? If so CTRL - would sort it out.

Thanks for comments.  The good news is - it's all up and running this morning (and so am I!). 

I suspect the IE9 update was the 'problem' - had it still been giving me grief, IE would have been ditched!
