my internet explorer runs so slow!

Asked by southern_bell about 1 year ago, 11 answers.

My internet explorer runs sooo slow! I've tried Mozilla Firefox it takes FOREVER for some pages to load then it freezes or if I use my IE it runs faster than my Firefox, but I'll get an error message on some pages or everything on a page is lined up...

on the left side or straight down the center I can't do all the actions that I'd like to do. What is this? And its very frustrating. Can someone help me? Or do I need to speak with a technician?

re-boot if you haven't already done that

and then try a de-frag

and then try a restore point

There is another possibility...

... my computer ran slowly even after I tried everything... I discovered it had received an electrical surge when lightning struck nearby... part of the hard drive got fried and started behaving like a programme - draining the processors power.

Have you had an electrical storm recently ?

LOL Bell, you crack me up !

If your auntie's service provider doesn;t do the trick I would seriously consider a hard disk fault and if those pesky neighbours are draining your dsl hook 'em up to the national grid and fry their eyebrows ! LOL

Peace out.
