Re: Big delay for 'pop-ups' win2k / IE6

Hmmm...Interesting.

Have you tried repairing IE???? What other software have you added or drivers have you upgraded. (I remember when I was upgrading the drivers on my system that something similar happened, but a reboot fixed it.)

Have you run SFC????

Have you tweaked IE????

Just my 2 bits.

I can try repairing it - i dont expect it'll help.. what is SFC? i reboot and the problem is gone until a few windows are open, and the machine has some days usage.. I havent tweaked IE, i havent got anything special installed its a very normal 2k/IE6 system.

Have you applied SP 2 for Win 2k and the compatibility update????

SFC is System File Checker. To run it go to the command prompt and type in SFC it will list all the options for how to run it. Be sure to put the Win 2k CD in so it can check against the files on it.

I would do a repair of IE and then run SFC to make sure everything is where it should be on the system.

Then I would tweak IE a little. First I would download X-Setup and update it so I would have the latest modules. Then I would launch the UI then click where it says Internet then click on Internet Explorer + System + Clear up Code Page References. Here is the info on what this module does:

When you right-click the mouse in Internet Explorer, the program checks its codepage settings in the Registry. If it finds a blank codepage, then it will try to locate a replacement. Doing this wastes a lot of time and processor cycles, so by removing the empty entries, the process can be speeded up.

This option lets you hide the blank settings, so IE won't try to find replacement codepages. This may greatly improve IE's performance.

On some machines your codepages may be correctly configured, in which case, using this option won't offer any improvements in performance. The plug-in will report back how many codepages were removed when the options is activated.
