AnswerMSN Homepage pegs CPU to 100%

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with 2 monitors and IE 8.  My home page is www.msn.com.  Whenever I open msn.com the computer binds up and gets very slow.  I opened up task manager and found that the cpu usage is 100% and stays that way.  This is true whether it is one screen or two.  If I go to any other website the cpu usage drops into the low teens.  Is there something wrong with the MSN home page or do I have an option on the IE 8 making it do this?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Mike Sellers

    Hi Mike,

    These types of issues are generally related to Flash ads that are not loading properly.  If you can send either a screen image of the page or let us know what ads are loading, we can ask the MSN.com team to investigate this.

    Thanks,
