Phred, I just this minute typed in http://www.about.com & up came the site...with all its great sections including pets & dogs. I wonder if there's some incompatibility with something you've already got on your computer. I have a similar problem that my computer always freezes when I go to my server's site. They THINK there's some incompatibility with something I've got on my computer...but we can't work out what that might be.
