Not sure, but when was the last time you cleaned your cache/ TIF's? There is
a huge amount the TIF's can hold, and cache size is relatively small so as
to help speed things up. If it must search to the extent of it's ability
through a lot, it will slow things down.

Open Explorer>Windows> Temporary Internet Files> then expand Temporary
Internet files in the *Explorer* pane>Right-Click>properties of Content.IE5.
How many folders and files? What is its size in MB's? If it is huge, you
might wish to clean them out and start fresh.

My computer>control panel>IE Options> Delete files>delete all off-line
content>OK>OK out. DO NOT attempt to clean them any other way. e.g.
selectively going into Content.IE5 folder or it's sub-folders and deleting
files. You *will* probably end up corrupting the Index.dat file, and then
we'll have more to fix. There is a fix, but *don't* do that.
