I have windows vista and internet explorer keeps freezing

I have Windows vista Home Premium 32-bit and when I use internet explorer the program freezes and I can't cancel it. I have to open a new page to use the internet and then the internet is slow. The only way to get my internet running properly again is to restart the computer. I have even tried 2 different modems but both give me the same problem. I have no programs intalled as I have just re-formated the hard drive to try and get rid of the problem

The problem is more than likely with Internet Explorer itself, not your computer. If you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, you can start the task manager, which will allow you to close IE without rebooting your entire computer. There's also no need to reformat your hard drive. You can try updating IE to see if that helps, or try using another browser (like Firefox, for example).
