| [IE] IE 7 is SLOW and one more question Hi,
I am on a cable modem, (Comcast). This afternoon, I wiped a drive and reinstalled XP SP2 on a PC. During the update process I allowed IE 7 to be installed. It is very very slow when I surf. Any ideas as to why? I should mention that I also installed the latest version of Firefox and it's as quick as a rabbit.
One more question. XP hesitates. At widely random times, (sometimes spanning several hours), the PC will be working great, but then it will suddenly hesitate for a period of about two minutes. I thought this was weird, so I reinstalled. Same problem.
I then loaded Ubuntu 6.06 as a dual boot. When I use Ubuntu, the OS never hesitates at all.
Any ideas?
Let me know if you need more info. It's a Compaq Presario P4 desktop, 2 GHz, with 384 MB RAM and the only services running in the system tray are the firewall (Kerio), the AV (AVG) and the Quick Start Launcher for Open Office 2.1.
Thanks! |
