Internet Explorer is slow.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd hate to have to redo windows again.

Maybe something that you installed or uninstalled, or some setting gets changed, that makes it do it again.

I never did figure out why mine started to do that. I had not formatted for like 2 years until it started doing that. It never affected my brothers profile either, just admin.

Agreed, i'm a huge opera fan!
especially the mouse gestures...
i always have too many problems with MS products, and if i look at the process that IE spaws, its mem usage goes nuts a lot of times

 

[Sniper82]

which is the best of the 3?

 

[Sid59]

im biased .. take Firebird ..

also did you read above in my post?

sometimes HOT FIXES can cause slow downs. If you have time and effort, i'd ghost the partition and let loose.

 

[Sniper82]

I read it but to tell you the truth I don't know what you mean by hotfixs.

 

[Sid59]

for XP and 2k, you have SP and inbetween they have patches (hotfixes) to fix flaws and other problems. Sometimes these patches/hotfixes can cause slowdowns and the such.

Yeah it was IE causing the problem. The heck with it I am currently using firebird and it seem to be faster that IE and looks about the same. Thanks for the recommendations.

BTW is firebird fine that way it is or is there some stuff I should disable?

 

[Sid59]

nah firebird is fine.

Firebird is a pretty basic, solid browser without any extensions, so there's really not much to disable. I you want to make it go even faster, though, there are some changes you can make.
