Site freezes in IE 6

Hi, I seem to have a problem where my site pages freeze in IE 6. Firefox and Opera seem to be fine as well as IE7. Yet for some reason in IE 6--after navigating for a bit--will freeze so the user can't scroll or select links. I page refresh sometimes fixes this, but not always.

Incidentally, I did have a CSS rule to change the appearance of the scrollbars. I thought that's what may be causing the problem so I took it out. However, I still have the problem.

Here is the link to the site:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! ThanksĀ  :)

Try using SWFObject to place the flash in your page rather than the traditional method of object and embedded, i found this worked on my site.

I tried that but it doesn't seem to help matters. I don't think it's a wrong way to have SWFObject, is it? It wouldn't work if it was coded wrong.

Does anyone else have a suggestion or potential solution to this? I'm desperate...there are too many people still using IE 6!
