Internet Explorer Problems

Gall1987 · 22 Nov 2009 at 17:38

Hi

I've recently started having problems with Internet Explorer running really slow. It doesn't seem to be any other applications that are having a problem and I'm not sure how to resolve it.

It runs slow but when I select any links that open in a new window it seems to take ages to open the new window.

Anybody have any ideas how I could sort this?

Cheers

More info?

OS, IE version?

System specs too!

I knew you'd need more info but I wasn't sure what you'd want.

2GB Intel Duo Processor
4GB RAM

I'm running Vista at the moment but I'll but updating to Win7 in the next view days.

I think it's IE 8. How would I check this?

Does this problem affect all sites?

What is your Broadband type/speed?

Broadband speed is fine (approx 7/8MB)

It seems to be just the loading of the windows itself. Once the window has loaded then navigating around web sites is fine.

I regulary use CCleaner and Defraggler, so I've no idea how what this could be.
I've also run virus scans and they're also fine.

Well if your going to install W7 in the next few days anyway, then i would bear with it for now to see if the problem is still there.

Just thought I'd let know you, I sorted the problem.
I went in to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and then Reset.
It's a problem with the third party add-ons with Vista apprently.
