Title: computer freezes awhile then continues
Post by: malaika0082ama on July 18, 2009, 08:49:12 AM
my computer was acting funny ,after searching the problems on the internet using google ,i did the clean up the disk defrag and updated windows ,,it also popped up and told me to download ie 8 and seems all good until the last 2 days when i start the computer and wait for everything to download then click on the internet explorer icon on disktop it takes abt 20 secs to start and then going on sites like facebook it takes long to load in the website , especially on games it freezes a bit but i wait and it either goes good or tells me to refresh page ,,the good thing abt ie 8 is if it closes the page suddenly and i reopen it it tells me if i would like to restore what closed .i was wondering if anyone there knows whats up with my computer or is this normal .also not just on the web ,if i only click on pictures or my computer icon or go to start menu and on all programs it takes awhile to get into abt 10 to 20 secs . never used to do it b4 tried system restore to earlier state after all the scanning for viruses and still same problem . computer info ... microsoft windows xp ,home edition , version 2002 ,service pack 3 , dell dim 2400 ,intel (r) celeron cpu 2.60 ghz 2.59 ghz.512 mb of ram

 oh one more thing even when and after page loads there r errors on it ,it gives me a msg on the bottom corner of the scrren ,DONE WITH ERRORS or it gives me a DONE with a sign on the end like a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it ,i tried clicking on it but nothing

Go back to IE7. IE8 seems to be having issues.
Better yet, switch to Firefox.
