IE 8 hangs too often!

[Carlos Kleiber]

'upgraded' to IE8 recently, ISP also 'upgraded' download speed (to > 8 MBps)



since then connection is going downhill



Internet Explorer sometimes very fast, then it starts to hang when clicking

on a link to open a page

sometimes only recourse is to close IE and start again, works most times but

sometimes page won't load at all..



Unfortunately same prob also with Firefox, Chrome, though in diminished

amount



tried already most of the ususal remedies



any bright ideas are wellcome

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2;

Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2) as well as your IE version when posting in an

IE-specific forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.



1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?



=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet

Explorer (No add-ons).

IE8 in all OSS]

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your

subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?

What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running

in the background when you installed IE8?



4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this

machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought

it)?

Which "usual remedies" would those be? Most of us can't read minds or see

what you've done. As your having the same issues with firefox and chrome

logic suggests that IE8 isn't your problem.
