Title: IE 6 loads several pages then slows to a crawl.
Post by: qzqhk2 on August 25, 2006, 06:08:54 PM

I thought with a computer only 6 months old I would not be here for the second time.
anyway, I recentlly uninstalled A.O.L. " with a lot of flack from wife" and now IE  is
slower than ever after a few pages open. I've cleared the cashe,temp files and cookies to
no avail, The temp files are set at 50 mb,which is the default. I checked with the I.S.P.
and everythink is at speed.

H.P. 1314 media center,  winXP PRO, IE 6, ZoneAlarm Pro, Mcafee Virus Pro, Webroot Spychecker.
Norton Ghost. and also a DSL connection..

Thanks for any help.....

OK.... ran both virus and malware,found a virus and got rid of it.....after this i
downloaded I.E. 7 release ver and everything is hunky dory except one thing
I can not get (www.clickondetroit.com ) to open, all the other sights are ok.
I checked the settings in ZoneAlarm and clickondetroit.com is checked ok.

I just tried that link and it was very slow to load, it sat there for some time saying 'Done' before it displayed on my screen. (I'm on dialup)
Give it some time, perhaps some other people can try it too.

Took about 9 seconds here, with DSL.  But, the site acts a little strange.  My browser just shows a blank white page until right up to the end of this time, then the whole page pops into view.
