    I am experiencing slow web peformance even though my download speed tests very high. I ran CCleaner and everything else. I tried a system restore too. If my download speed tests high why would webpages load slowly? Hijack This doesn't show anything unusual. Neither does Spybot or Adaware.

    HI!
    All web pages? Or just some of them?
    If "just some of them," the pages you are trying to load may simply be popular pages on overloaded servers. There's not much you can do to speed up a slow web site you don't run.
    Some pages are slow because of their content. A page made up of text will be faster to load than a site made up of large photographs. Full motion video really requires a broadband connection for adequate performance.

    Are you on Dial-up or DSL?
    :confused:

    Try this:
    1. click on Internet Explorer
    2. go to to your root dir (usually C:)
    3. open Documents and Settings folder
    4. open "your username folder"
    5. open UserData
    6. **close IE if you have it open**
    rename index.dat to index.old
    logoff and log back on (don't need to restart)

    open up IE and go to a web page or site that always seemed to load slowly. It should load a lot more quickly now.

    NOTE. Always rename or backup .dat or other system files before deleting.
