My version of Microsoft Internet Explorer runs very slowly, especially when I need to open up a new window or click a pop-up link, it takes almost 15 to 20 seconds to START loading and return the window I want. However, when I use the IE on computers in my school, it's far more quickly. What should I do to enhance my IE's starting up speed? (Its loading speed is okay, I just want to know about the suitable configurations to make.) Thanks.

Beside the solutions suggested above, I recommend to use Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer. It is more secure, you can open multiple pages in one window using different Tabs instead of opening multiple windows. you can open more all or some of your favorite web pages in one click.  \nHers is the link if you want to give Firefox a try: http://www.firefox.com

IE 7 is still in test phase. That's why it's called beta. And for this reason it has a lot of bugs... Stop using it and came back to IE 6 until Microsoft will release the official and bug-free (I hope) version of IE 7.

Internet Explorer is a horrible browser. I suggest Firefox (http://mozilla.com/firefox). It's faster and safer. Plus there is tabbed browsing and a convenient search bar. Plus it's fully skinable and there are entension you can install and you won't have this ActiveX problem (I know cause I had the same problem). It's a 100% better browser

Yup!\n     So many ways...... but depends upon your connection type if from modem then it's always slow.... in Comparision to others.... So varies\n \n-------- HOWEVER ONE THING IS COMMON FOR SLOW PROBLEM THAT INTERNET EXPLORER CACHES VISITED PAGE AND LOADS... THEM SO ALLL THE VISITED PAGES ARE RECORDED.... SO QUITE SLOW.... DUE TO THIS SO DELETE ALL HISTORY... GOING TO TOOLS AND INTERNET OPTIONS FROM INTERNET EXPLORER\n\nTHAT WON'T REMOVE TOTALLY.... SO DELETE IT FROM INTERNET OPTIONS.... FROM CONTROL PANNEL...... SO IF U DO THIS..... THEN IT'LL BE QUITE FAST THEN PREVIOUS ONE!...

Im assuming you have Windows XP. 256MB of RAM is really the minamum to run XP. IE7 is more memory intensive. Add more memory and defrag your hard drive. That will probably help alot.  512MB would be recomended

It's okay for windows, that's how it operates. Internet Explorer is none other then the default explorer in windows. If you don't trust this just open a folder, or My Computer for instance and on the adres bar enter a web page, see what happens. This is the main reason why the internet explorer cannot be removed from the system.

Get and use Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ ), that itself will improve your internet speed. Ounce you have the browser get a plugin called Fasterfox(http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/ ) which will also increase your speed.\n\nWhile the size of Firefox is small compared to Internet Explorer, you still may want to download it at a freinds house, or some other place that has high speed internet.

Don't use Internet Explorer. Use FireFox. It really is 1000 times better and doesn't have the issues that Internet Explorer has.

normally, it can only come from the programs at start up. If it were a virus, you would notice the slowness all the time. I read the blog they refer you to about slow computers, and i partially disagree for a lot of reasons.\nSure, if you take away most of the programs you run at start up, it will be faster. But if you intend to open those programs later, the time you won there will be lost here. \nMS config can be used as a diagnostic tool, but also as an everyday tool. If you do not want all your programs at start up, the easiest way is to diable some of them through MS config ( like Google talk, Skype, etc, things you will not use every day) and have your computer run on selective start up, no problems, works fine, and the programs you may want are easily accessible. If you want to completely disable programs, you should go to run, then services msc, and a list of programs will appear, you can decide to diable them, have them on manual, or automatic. In reality, that can be useful for gaming, if you want to gain a bit of speed, but that is not what you use your computer for.\nDelete the prefetch folder.... once again, it depends what you do with the comp. If you go to the same sites regularly, your prefetch is like the best of the cookies you can have. It will make it faster for you to go back to your mail, yahoo, etc...\nIf you browse the web a lot, then it can make sense. The prefetch is full with markers of the sites you have been to. So, emptying it only makes sense if you do not think you will go there again. Otherwise, you give more work to your computer who will have to do it again and again.\nIn reality, I would get rid at start up of the programs you only use sporadically, and wait a couple of minutes longer until your computer is ready.\nMore information?
