Re: Internet Explorer loading issue

Hi Tom,

It's literally a few days old theres nothing on it but the os - and then the router is hooked up to it. i mean it works, but just takes time to load... soo annoying.

Ben

Hi all,

This isn't a big deal but it can be quite irritating.

I have a brand new machine with Windows Vista Business running on it. This is the main machine in the study and has a Belkin router connected to it via a cat5 cable. The rest of the PCS/Laptops in the house run from the routers wireless.
Everything is set up and internet explorer loads automatically on each machine.

However, on this newer machine, when I click on Internet Explorer, it takes around 8-10 seconds to load the homepage, i.e google. On all of the other machines, its pretty much instant. The other machines are running XP/Vista Home and Vista Basic. They all load the webpage instantly.

This newer machine takes a while and shows "Connecting" in the tab. I have never experienced this before and wondered what it could be. I have tried making a few changes but it does it every time. Once google has loaded, and i click a new tab, the same happens again, it takes about 10 seconds for a new homepage to load.

We have been using the same router in the house for 3 years and i've never seen a machine act like this.
Is there something I'm missing?

Many thanks,

Ben

Ben,

do you have the Google toolbar selected on that PC ? If so try with the toolbar de-selected.
I believe there is a problem with Google's toolbar supposedly fixed in the Beta V5. There is chat to this effect in a Google forum. I have the same effect but just manage without the toolbar for the moment.
Then again, if you don't use it . . .

Tom
