I'm using a win XP sp2 machine, amd athlon 3800X2 with visual studio 2005.

I'm trying to run a simple ASP.Net project using the "debug" button but internet explorer takes forever to load, and there is almost no CPU utilization whatsoever. Every action or click I perform on the website takes forever to perform and hangs the IE for about a minute.

The app is only 2 aspx files, one of them being a login page using forms authentication.

I've tried to run the dev server and browse my app with a different browser - works fine. I can't seem to understand what's going on here. has anyone exprienced anything similar?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Silver,

Can you try turning off the proxy server for local requests?  What you are describing sounds a lot like you are hitting a remote proxy server and running into issues.

Thanks,

Hi to all,

This is my first post here, but i read about a 1000 so far on these pages. One of better forums in terms of fixing things. Good work to all!

For quite some time I had similar issues - Visual Studio 2005, developing asp.net.  Whenever I try to run the project (F5 or CTRL-F5), i get the same issue - the browser loads (both the internet explorer and firefox work the same) and it starts loading the page.
However, this causes browser's process to go to 100% of CPU usage and it stays like that for a minute or so. After that it stops loading the page and cpu returns to normal.
VS still stays in 'run' mode, as if the 'run project" went ok and the project is actually running. And it is not.

This happened in all browsers, including the VS's internal browser - the difference was only that the devenv.exe was going to 100% of CPU.

I read that official solution fom similar problems with IIS hanging - to remove the cell phone connectivity softwares, but i didn't have any.

Since it looked like it has something to do with the connectivity, I tried disabling my wireless LAN connection - and it worked! All went back to normal.
The moment I enabled WLAN all problems came back - just as before.

So that's my said story with happy ending. Now I have to find the solution and make it work even with my LAN enabled.

BTW, i also had the same problem on desktop PC, which is in cable LAN.  Both computers go to Wireless router (Linksys) which I'm afraid is creating somehow this issues.

I hope this helps somebody.

Hi guys,

I am having the same problems. I am on wireless, but even if I disconnect the wireless connection, I can not get the browser (firefox or explorer) to stop hogging the cpu.

The browser just gets sort of stuck while using all the available cpu and I can not preview my project. I can wait but It will end in a "Could not show web page" error or I can stop it in which case I end up again unable to preview my web. 

I am using Windows XP SP2 and a Core 2 Duo Processor with 2GB RAM and enough hard disk space. 

I hope someone else had this problem and got to solve it.

Thank you in advance,

Gomino 

I forgot to add that I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

And I am not using proxy for local or remote locations. 

I had a very similar problem. Here's how I fixed it: http://blog.donnfelker.com/2007/07/09/ASPNETProjectsTakeForeverToLoadInInternetExplorer.aspx

I'm not sure what exactly was causing the problem, but I do know this fixed my problem.

Good luck!
