go to ie9 tools/ clicking Internet Options./Browsing history/ and empty your cache everytime you go on a web site some of it is stored in the cache . and i run Spybot - Search & Destroy once a week to route out any bad sites http://www.safer-networking.org/en/o...rs1/index.html

Re: stupid pc!!!

have you cleaned ur cache files in IE?

use a program called ccleaner, works wonders on your pc.

Disk cleaner is also a good cleanup app :) (I use it)

www.diskcleaner.nl/download

It may be your ISP slowing down also (It might not be your computer (Hopefully it isnt))

Good luck :)

Re: stupid pc!!!

One thing to check make sure you only have one version of Adobe Flash installed. More than one affects IE9 badly.

It will be unsupported by your ISP so no use calling them.

Re: stupid pc!!!

dont tend to have to do it manually anymore lol and dont change partitions cuz the only one I got is my dual boot OS drive

I use Paragon Hard disk manager to partition the odd large drive to fat32 for certain reasons though lol
