Internet Explorer(IE) >> Internet Explorer takes 1-2 mins to load up and will not work anymore

by TmV2 » Tue, 02 Mar 2004 19:51:05 GMT

Hi all
recently, big problems have started with my notebook. I am using XP, and connect to the internet via AOL 8. I think something dodgy has been loaded onto my sytem (perhaps the registry??) The computer has become almost unusuable. All the microsoft apps, like explorer, even recycle bin, windows explorer take 1-2 mins to load up. I cannot use IE 6 anymore and even AOL is unusable. I type in a web address and it hangs !!

I've installed Nortin Anit-virus, and this hasn't helped. What can i do to avoid a full wipe of my system? Can anyone help
thanks in advanc

First eliminate any scumware.
See

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

You seem to be posting through the Web interface to newsgroups, so I assumed
you have some access to the Web.

6. MCE 2004 upgrade takes 1-3 mins to load

Hi all,
  I have done this a few times now with no solution. I have HP m260n and when I upgrade to MCE 2004, it takes a LONG time for it to start up/load when I start windows. So while it is trying to load, everything else usually hangs till it finally starts...I can force it to load faster by starting the MCE program itself, then the blue lights blink to indicate done loading..So what is causing it to take so long since all other programs start up fine.......hum
