Could be a number of things. Maybe you have too many programs running in the backround which will slow it down a bit. Bring up Task Manager using Ctrl+Alt+Del and go to processes. End the ones you don't need. Or perhaps you need to Defrag your hard disk. Go to My Computer, right click your hard drive (usually c:&#92;) click properties, goto the "tools" tab and click "Defragment Now". Hope that helps! :-)

When internet explorer closes, it has tasks to perform such as saving data to the registry and closing open connections.\nWriting to the registry should not take long but is can take a few seconds to close all of the TCP/IP sockets that are still connected.

Just go to your Start menu and look for the IE icon again. It should be located in your Programs list. Its just a shortcut so you can basically "drag" the icon back onto your desktop or your taskbar.\n\nIf you have XP, you can drag any shortcut anywhere. \n\nIf you dont have XP then go to my Computer and then C drive. Go to program files and then look for your IE folder. Find the icon for IE, right click on it, copy it. Then just paste it into your taskbar.

Which version of IE you are using? I recommend to update to IE7. For the first time, IE has realized the need for tabbed browsing in IE7. The new pages will open inside the same window as tab. So, it is expected to be faster.\nNow, your opening link in new window can become slow due to many reasons. You should delete temprary internet files. You can do it from tools>properties within IE and can also use third party software like ccleaner(but not absolutely necessary). Also, your connection speed is important. Check your firewall and antivirus setting if it is causing any problems. Sometimes firewall slow down things. I recommed zonealram for this. You need to allow the browser full access. another thing is that reduce the number of background tasks(the icons you see in the right bottom corner in windows).\n\nThe best suggestion I can give you is to use alternate browser such as Opera(www.opera.com) or firefox(www.firefox.com). personally, I like opera as it is very small size, lighting fast(http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html#winspeed), has all features bundled in and has best security record (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Vulnerabilities).\n\nHope you enjoy!

Windows explorer runs slower because there are multiple applications running in the back ground, this uses processor and memory, internet explorer runs mostly on ram  its a program unlike windows explorer that's the operating system.

I also have had the same problem, from the many forums I read, it always seems to happen after install of Internet Explorer 7. \nHeres a forum link:  \n\nhttp://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=268030\n\nOr you may simply go to Run>"msconfig">and remove from startup.\n\nHope it helps.

It sounds like you might be in Kiosk mode with the Hide Toolbars option selected.  When Internet explorer is focused, press the F-11 key to get out of Kiosk mode.

Internet Explorer on my CPU does the same thing sometimes. \nTo get around it, right click on the link and select "open in new window".

well could be thousand of problems , you have to explain it more , but it could be problem of text size or connection problem or browser problem.\nclick View > text size on internet explorer and see if its medium.\nto test connection see if pages are loading slower than before or not.\nyou can also try another browser or reinstall your current 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!...

i think you have Internet explorer problem or operating system problem

Either your internet speed is too slow or your Internet explorer need to be re-installed.  If both dont help then the windows operating system has some problem.
