Why when i try to open Internet explorer it takes 15-19 seconds to open

[sramjones]

When i try to open Internet explorer it takes 15-19 seconds to open it just sits and then it some times opens or i will have to open it again. I have tried reinstalling windows mkany times and i have replaced my Motherboard and graphicscard

The problem happens bnoth when the chip is overclocked and when it is not

I have no idea why this happens


My system
windows xp pro sp1
p4 2.4c
asus p4c800 e deluxe
ati radeon 9600 xt
WD 4200 rpm 40 gig drive

is anything else slow to open?

Try Firefox instead.

I really like IE never liked any alternatives

Ever tried any alternatives recently? If you take a look you'll realize that IE is the weakest browser on the market.

I installed firefox and the problem still persists its still there

[Smartweb]

Firefox takes 15-19 seconds to load too?

[sramjones]

yes it does

[nut581]

see the running processes, if something is actively using your CPU on high priority level, it might be the cause, or if something accessing your HDD continuously, it definitely will slow down program load time.

[Smartweb]

Does it do this for all programs (like word processors, etc.) too, or just web browsers?

[AZNBoiOnFIYA]

you could try taking the homepage off. it should load faster

Well there is probably part of you problem, the 4200rpm HD. Also how much ram do you have?

Edit: Didnt see you sig. I would suspect spyware/adware is your problem. Like what was mentioned before, what dows it show under the processes tab in Task manager. Take a screenshot.

Maybe you need to reinstall your OS. Have you run Adaware, or SpyBot to check for spyware/adware? If not, try that first, otherwise I would suggest a reinstall.

What sort of connection do you have, directly connected to the net, through a router?

[sramjones]

i have tried reinstalling I reinstall every week and i have a cable modem

[stan03]

i doublke poseted becouse it could be software or hard ware

[Smartweb]

um no just IE

and Firefox?

[sramjones]

firefox takes longer to lead than IE and i tried all of the spyware programs i know about and cwshredder and nothing was found and its still slow

[sramjones]

no its just IE that starts up slow

[Smartweb]

Then I would use Firefox or some other browser for web browsing and just live with IE for windows updates.

[sramjones]

nio i mean firfox is also slow its just the web browsers thgat are slow

[Smartweb]

What about other programs that use the Internet like email clients, IM clients, etc.

[sramjones]

no just browsers

You know, you could be a little bit more informative with your posts. Had all of this information been in your initial post the troubleshooting problem would not be so painstakingly slow. Feel like giving us some more feedback?
