Software / Internet Explorer & Windows Explorer s-l-o-w ....
« on: May 09, 2007, 07:23:40 PM »
I found on this site today that a long time member helped another user with IE's address bar not working back in April. I am having the same problem, and have had since Nov. Every "tech support" paid service I have tried can't solve my problem. I am now also having a problem with Windows Explorer too.
IE takes up to 2 minutes to find and load a page if I only type the www.~~.com in the address bar, but if I type the entire address, including the http://www.~~.com then IE brings the page up immediately.
Windows Explorer takes about 20-60 seconds to load a list of my drives and files anytime I click the dropdown arrow to navigate to a different area (like to save a file to desktop instead of in my docs.)
I tired the fix for IE located at this forum, topic # 30617, but wasn't able to get my problem fixed. For now, this forum is my last hope, as the paid "tech support" I have used has instructed me to restore my computer to factory defaults, which I obviously hate to do...
Can anyone help? Please...
