Internet Explorer Slow.

[red_devil]

recently my internet explorer was starting to get slow . i would click on it to open it up and it would take at the most 15-20mins before i was able to start browsing the internet and when it eventually does let me start browsing if i click on a link that opens up a new window the new windows would crash for about the same lenght of time before i can browse through it. i can browse the internet perfectly on Ares p2p which has built in explorer support and i can also browse without any problems if i click my computer and type in a website on the address bar at the top . i just cant browse through internet explorer itself i am using version 6 and i tried upgrading to ie7 but that didnt solve the issue as a matter of fact when my ie does eventually let me browse it says Windows Internet Explorer Provided By Yahoo correct me if i am wrong but shouldnt ie only have that if u use ie7? i searched around on google for ways to repair or reinstall ie6 but the sites i came up with said that i must have the Windows XP CD-ROM available which i dont. i know there are other explorers such as Firefox but i have always been comfortable with ie so if anyone knows what is wrong it i would like to know if there is a way to fix it without the XP CD-ROM.

Hi red devil

From reading your post "if you want to use IE7" you should be able to roll back to IE6 by using Windows "add and remove utility" then i suggest installing EI7 (this needs to be installed in Safe Mode from your desktop) if you are unsure of the procedure please post back and i will be happy to go through it step by step so you achieve a clean install of IE7, also we can check for any singes of a possible hijack / ad aware / spy ware.
