Internet Explorer Slow Start-Up
Strange. IE does do a lot of weird things. Personally,
I use Opera for everything that is not on Microsoft.com to avoid a lot of weirdness and problems. Anyway, I suggest you try defragmenting your harddrive. The best I can think of is that IE has some cache files that have been moved into an area that is on the other side of the harddrive or something of that sort, which would slow it down a bit I suppose. Anyway, defrag can only help things, so doing it won't hurt. The only problem is that it takes forever in latest versions of windows. Expect a number of hours for it, so run it at night before you go to sleep, and try to have nothing running that could possibly write any changes to the harddrive. -----Original Message----- I have a new Dell Dimension 8250 with Pentium 4 2.4 ghz processor, 512k ram and 2 hard drives (120 gig and 60 gig). I also have a cable modem for the internet. I've been using the computer for video editing, surfing and e- mail. After finishing a video project, I deleted about 70 gigs of video items from the big drive and 50 gigs from the other. Up to that point, whenever I clicked on Internet Explorer, it started up almost instantly, going to my home page. Now, it takes at least 15 seconds from the time I click on the IE icon before it finally goes to the page. The same thing happens when I click on a link from my e-mail in Outlook. Other than starting so slowly, everything else works normally. I'm fairly certain I didn't delete anything but video files (from specific video capture folders) so I don't think I deleted anything pertaining to IE. Any suggestions? . |
