I don't have such problem with my home PC (which I have admin priviledge, I don't think it matters though).

The add-on file in question is flash6.ocx.

I think some of the ads require Flash Player to load. If it saft to assume the local machines need to another version of Flash Player? Or is it a software problem between FT and Flash Player?
This may be the case. It's been driving me bonkers on my vista machine. I need to check to see if I can update flash. Oddly, it will now always crash when I close a tab in IE which has FT running.

The XP machine is still lots more stable, but it does freeze up every so often as well.

Thanks again for your suggestions! I'll give them a try & let you know.
