Internet Explorer Prob.

[GLOOPS]

Hi there gentlemen ...I have a feeling this topic has been covered somewhere but can't find it lads.       I am starting to get web pages that won't open in my browser (IE) or it takes a very long time to load them.     What is my problem here please lads???

Thee are too many possible things that could do this.

• Bad internet connection.
• Too many Windows open.
• Two AV programs conflicting.
• Hardware problem
• Bad web sites.
• Something else.

Have you tried another Browser?
Maybe Chrome?
Install Chrome from Google.
Does that  help any?

Hi there Geek mate.!   .....Well I have also got GOOGLE CHROME and I get a better performance from that connection than IE.     I am not sure which version of IE that I have mate.  There is a way to find out I think.

I don't leave any windows open, nor do I run more than one virus protector at a time ..so that's two down here.   I try to keep my start-up folder as lean as I can, which is a full time job these days.

Try deleting browsing history in IE and see whether that improves its performance.

Well I have just run C Cleaner soybean and there has been some improvement, however I am still having to keep 'recovering webpage', which is annoying!   What is the latest version of IE and how do I check what version I have please?

The latest version is 11.  To see what version you have, click on Help and select About Internet Explorer.

You'll not believe this but there is no 'help' on my IE taskbar here!

I suspect you do not have your Menu bar display.  Right click somewhere at the top of your browser and click on Menu bar in the right-click menu. Help is on the Menu bar. 

Alternatively, without displaying the Menu bar, you can click the Tools icon/button at the right end at the top of IE and select About Internet Explorer from that drop-down menu.

Honest guys this is what my homepage looks like ...no HELP file anywhere??

Apparently, you have your browser in full-screen mode.  If you computer is a desktop system, hit F11 on your keyboard to put your browser back in normal display mode.  Then, you'll see the top part of the browser, where you'll find access to the screen that shows the version of IE you have. 

If your computer is a laptop, you may need to hold the fn key down while pressing F11.  The F-keys on laptops usually have dual functions and you need to use the fn key in conjunction with an F-key to make certain F-keys on a laptop do the same thing as the F-keys on a stand-alone keyboard on a desktop PC.
