Internet Explorer 8 suddenly slows down to a "crawel"
I have IE 8 on my WinXP Pro SP3 computer. IE 8 used to run faster than Firefox on my computer. But starting yesterday morning, IE 8 suddenly starting taking minutes to open up to my home-page. But the real slow down was when I tried to navigate to other web-pages. On some of my favorite web-pages , it would take several minutes to load a web-page that used to take only seconds to load. When I started IE 8 to a about:blank web-page , it opened much faster than my home page did. But navigating to other web-pages was just as slow. And opening up IE 8 to my homepage, with all "add-on's" disabled was just a little faster , but not much. However , my Firefox browser is not affected with what ever is slowing down IE 8 . And I also began having problems connecting to "Windows Update" . It was impossible to connect to Win Update via "help and support" . But I was finally able to do so within my IE 8 browser. That's when IE 8 was still my default browser. Any feedback on this IE 8 problem would be very appreciated . I do like IE 8 better than Firefox , but until I can find a fix for my IE 8 problem , I'll have to use Firefox as my default browser. Thanks. -- your friend, Larry

Internet Explorer 8 suddenly slows down to a "crawel"
Hi
Check the IE Add-Ons and make sure that nothing was installed there unbeknown to you. Click on Tools/Manage Add-ons. Also check for Viruses and Malware in general, it might be something targeting IE that does not affect FF. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "leoliver" wrote in message ...

Internet Explorer 8 suddenly slows down to a "crawel"
I found this too. I turned off all Add Ons and nothing fixed it.
Then I noticed it was working fine and when I looked Windows Live/MSN was not running. Once running it happened all over again IE8, 64 bit Vista everything up to date "leoliver" wrote: I have IE 8 on my WinXP Pro SP3 computer. IE 8 used to run faster than Firefox on my computer.

Internet Explorer 8 suddenly slows down to a "crawel"
My problem was some security software I was using. It never gave me problems
before, so I didn't suspect it to. The software was "Peer Block" and it's "bogon" list , which I had set to block in-coming IP's . Once I disabled the bogon list , IE 8 and Windows Up-date were working fine again. -- your friend, Larry "leoliver" wrote: I have IE 8 on my WinXP Pro SP3 computer.
