IE9 I need to click twice sometimes on a link

Baldbloke · 5 Apr 2011 at 22:24

Just started using IE9. It is set up to use just one single click to use links on web pages. It usually responds immediately on that first click.

A lot of the time I click on a link and have to wait for around 10 seconds before the page refreshes. But... If I click once, then again straight away, the page will refresh immediately I do the second click.

Nothing else is using my bandwidth. Just me browsing. And it happens with any link. Not just particular ones.

Anyone else experiencing this with IE9?

I had this on the beta but now i got the release version its fine. Maybe make sure your still not using a release candidate?

This happens in all browsers I've tried. Never really seen it as a problem and barely noticed it.

It looks like it wont load and the status bar crawls along. You click again and bam it's there. Just a niggle, happens maybe once a month if I'm lucky.

Try resetting all the IE settings, google how to do it..

Or try these permanent fixes

I know what you mean when a page takes a while to load. In this case though, status bar doesn't appear.

I'll give resseting a go. If all else fails, i'll reinstall IE9. And if that fails, it's "Welcome home, IE8"

I'm so used to Internet Explorer. Getting used to a new browser will be a minor chore for me. Tantrums, tears, joy. That sort of thing.
