If you're browser testing I wouldn't bother testing Safari on Vista. It renders differently to Safari on Mac.

Have you upgraded to the latest version as well ?

Safari does as cormac said render things differently on the PC as opposed to the MAC ... and not that many people would really be using it on the PC

[just checked ... 0.07% of visitors to one of my sites are using safari on windows] which is possibley me though I think I've my IP excluded from the stats.

Test your web design in different browsers - Browsershots might be a better solution .. though not instantanious

Tried a fresh install, no better, still timing out....just bought a second hand powerbook with OS Tiger, hopefully that will solve the problem

My days with windows could be numbered....
