Why Is My Internet Explorer Soooo Slow To Open ?

[wicklamulla]

as it says above ! I have IE7. I used to click the icon and it'd open up swift loike but it takes longer and longer as the weeks go by (just timed it at 1m 2secs ffs). I cleared, deleted the browsing pistory etc and payed fer and doonloaded 'Registry Reviver' but this made no difference atall atall, just tried running Anti-Spy and no better !! Is there a way to compact the IE database to perhaps freshen it up and add a little urgency to tings??? Tank fairycake much, WiCkLeRmUlLErIcE.

switch to Firefox, or Google Chrome Wicki - far better than IE and less likely to have security problems.

The problem is probably to do with the amount of cached data you system has saved.

Might be worth reducing the cache space IE uses (in Internet Options - via the brower or is you right click on the IE icon on your desktop).

Crome / Firefox is the way forward tho!

Have you tried starting it from the menu instead of using the shortcut icon doohicky ? Had a prob on mine and it was the desktop icon shortcut, somehow the linky address had changed.

I ended up deleting the icon and then created another icon. Are you getting any auto update checking stuff kicking in such as Adobe or Shockwave active x etc ?

Add-ons might need disabling ?

Try CrapCleaner, but deffo use FF or Chrome.

I switched to Firefox years ago, but found that too slooooow too!
Now I use Chrome all the time, excellent when you have a googlemail account, plus I've got a TDM themed background on mine.

Load up Chrome, go to themes and have a look for yamaha or TDM etc.

I'd post a link but you've gotta get to it through the menu system of Chrome, I'll try and post a screenshot.

EDIT: Here ya go, not the same as mine but you get the idea.



You gotta get Chrome though...
