Windows XP Home slow to open websites
I have a new Sony laptop that came with Windows XP Home installed [Pentium M
1.86 GHz/ 1 GByte DDRAM / 100 GByte hard drive (60 GBytes free) / Intel Centrino chipset]. Using Internet Explorer on the laptop all web sites take a long time to open (perhaps 1 minute) even though downloads and streaming can come through at about the limit of my 3 Mbps ADSL. A desktop with Windows XP Pro on the same wireless NAT router will open those same websites in 5 seconds or less. As far as I can tell the settings for Internet Explorer are the same on both systems. Both system use the same resident security programs with the same settings. I have tried several checks and tests. * Disabling the resident security programs does not make a difference. * 'Content advisor' is NOT enabled. * I have cleaned out most of the Sony loaded software, though I suppose something may still be left that could have an effect. Any suggestions or descriptions of similar problems are welcome and appreciated. Phil Weldon |

Phil Weldon Hi Phil, I think you done right to uninstall what called * Software Bundle* came installed on your Laptop and eaten HDD space you supose been paid for to get the Ultimate benefit from. But this Bundle do n't give up without causing you a pain, some may while you clearing grap a system file with it (IE one) or you uninstall it without knowing so... Try register your IE DLLs by Opening a Run Command and type; Iexplorer /rereg Press OK. = Or you can do uninstall/Repair for IE from the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs to Correct the core file/folder been corrupted from these defective Softwares. = Another is to set your TIF file Size betwen 50-80 MBs to do that go to Tools Internet Options On the General Tab click on the button labled Settings and there you will see the TIF file move the slider to the pre-mentioned size, that will make IE read /pull the TIF quicker in less time. All the Above assuming you done your cleaning for malwares/Viruses. HTH. Please let us know your progress. Regards, nass --------- www.nasstec.co.uk |

Make sure your cache is empty and let windows manage it. (Temp Internet
files) if the temp folder is full and is small you will get a slow IE. also make sure you set your IE to renew the site when you visit it and not automatic. those settings are in the IE Internet options.

However the temp folder contained only 30 MBytes. Changing the setting for 'Check for newer versions of stored page makes no difference, nor does changing the Internet temp file limit or contents. The time to access microsoft.com or google.com for the Windows XP Home system is about 10 times that of the Windows XP Pro system (50 seconds vs. 5 seconds).

However, Windows XP SP2 (Home or Pro) does not have rereg, and the Internet Explorer exec is iexplore.exe, not iexplorer.exe. I have reregistered the Internet Explorer dlls and found it made no difference. I will report if I make progress.
