Internet explorer

Internet explorer is running like a sick dog, it's taking ages to load a page, Mozilla is running ok fast as anything. Any ideas how I can speed it up??

Re: Internet explorer

Any spyware running in the background? Do your IE connection settings all look OK - not pointing somewhere odd? What version IE, and is it fully patched against the latest malware?

Ditch IE altogether?

Might have a dodgy transparent proxy - have you tried setting a manual proxy server?

Re: Internet explorer

If you're going to set a transparent proxy you should at least consider monkeybreath's post (#21) in this thread:

Re: Internet explorer

The list of proxies is here http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/article.php?a=10

However, as MB says it's not a permanent solution - just use it for testing.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/article.php?a=23 tells you how to find your current proxy.
