text: why doesn't internet explorer like to cooperate? hi, when i play stand-alone online games and chat online, sometimes my internet explorer stops working - i can still chat on aim and sometimes continue my online game (but if i try to switch servers, it doesn't work until i get my internet explorer to be able to connect to a website) if i keep opening and closing internet explorer eventually it connects, but sometimes it just won't budge until i restart my computer; is there a reason for this?  thank you.
