Can anyone help me...months ago IE7 downloaded onto my laptop. Since then, I
have been having difficulties using it and have resorted to using Mozilla
Firefox.

My IE7 simply freezes after approximately 5 mins. and I have to resort to
pressing CTRL ALT Delete to get rid of it.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled this a few times, yet to no avail am
experiencing the same problems.

What can be done to rectify this problem?

Thanks in advance

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No
add-ons).

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b)
all toolbars and (c) all third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds) and don't reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist?
