    I dont know if this is the right place this is my first time.
    I am running windows vista and now when i try to use internet explorer it takes for ever when it does load but 90% off the time the page wont even load, ive run ccleaner and spybot seek n destroy. My physical memory is high and there is 64 processes running this all happened over night pretty much i was always able to jump page to page instantly. Any help on this would be very appreciated as my computer is gonna be a frisbee soon :cry

    Have you tried booting into Safe Mode with Networking? (F8 at boot up.)
    Have you tried an alternate browser - Firefox possibly.
    Trying to see if this is browser specific or another problem with possible software conflicts.
    Any new software or hardware added recently?

    Hi

    Also to follow on from lbmest's post above also try IE in its Safe No Addons mode, you can get to this by clicking Start > All Programs > Acessories > System Tools and if IE works ok in this mode then its likely an add-on is causing the issue, to troubleshoot that then you need to start IE normally then disable all non microsoft add-ons and then enable one at a time and test until you notice the slowness again, info here and it covers virtually all current IE versions


    Also do some basic cleanup which steps are highlighted here

    Ive done everything possible in the clean up department
    im running win vista i booted in safe mode and nothing changed i went to the addon manger diasabled everything possible and its not helping and as for software the only software i installed was avast but that was after the fact i installed avast to see if it would find something

    any chance your security software is involved, like KIS 2010? the slowness is a known issue beginning with 9.0.0.463; supposedly even worse with 9.0.0.723. a hotfix supposedly just came out (earlier today) and i'm waiting for further info from the Kaspersky forums since no link's posted yet.

    if not, then ignore this info.
