Hi,
Just a quickie as I am off to work.

When I am on the internet, I use internet explorer, it is taking ages to load web site to start with and also taking ages to change to new pages.

I t also take a long time to go back a page

I can see in windows task manager that the ieexplore exe is using 98/99% most of the time and the little green bow in the systray reads cpu 100% all of the time


1. Make sure the computer is completely virus/malware-free as a first troubleshooting step:

2. If the machine is clean, run IE in no-add-ons mode. Third-party add-ons like toolbars, etc. can really mess up IE.

Run IE7 without add-ons - Start > Run>iexplore.exe -extoff [enter] OR Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)
