Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / January 2008IE7 Slow response
Slow response is what I was getting with IE6 so when IE7 became available I had hopes that the response time would improve.... nope. I'm talking about waiting over a minute for a page and I have a cable connection. I thought it might be the sites I'm trying to access so I opened Firefox. What I found was I can request a page using IE then open Firefox enter the same address and get a response and when I click back to IE it is still sitting there. It hasn't been much more than a month ago that I reformatted my C drive and reloaded XP Home Edition along with all updates including SP2 and I have been getting slow response from IE before and after the reload. I've turned off most everything I can think of including the new phishing screener and regularly run disk cleanup but have't found the fix. Could I be the only one on this planet having this problem? Is there a fix? Thanks,  SignatureJim > Slow response is what I was getting with IE6 so when IE7 became available I > had hopes that the response time would improve.... nope.

Occasionally there would be a message "Server Too Busy" or something like that. It may be that the Microsoft Anti-Phishing site gets in the way and can't handle the traffic. There were two other things I didn't like about IE7. First, the shortcut icons I've placed on my desktop to get me to specific web sites like Google and Amazon had their own logos. After installing IE7 the logos all got changed to the "e" logo of IE7, and the "change icon" feature of WinXP couldn't do anything about it. Second, when I used the IE7 search window, which took me to my chosen search engine, Google, it took longer to get there and there was garbage in the URL indicating to Google that Microsoft had sent the search. Probably a way for Microsoft to extort money from Google in the future.

I found the Diagnose Connection Problems add-on enabled even though I chose not to participate in this feature. As soon as I disabled this add-on, I noticed a great improvement. Also, be sure to disable the Phishing Filter in Advanced Options under Internet Options. Sam, thank you for the information. I checked it out and disabled about 5 items (of about 14 total). Initial response appears to be faster but will have to run it for a while to see. Again, thank you. SignatureJim > Try this: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Also, be sure to disable the Phishing Filter in Advanced Options under > Internet Options. I found that going into (In IE 7) Tools Internet Options Click on the Advanced Tab Un-tick the two Http 1.1 boxes seems to resolve it. (I read this on another forum, did it and it certainly makes Google.com.au work as fast as it should!) Hi Sam I tried your suggestions and I am still having extremely slow response. I have to do something else while waiting for IE7 to respond. Any other suggestions. IE6 worked fine so I may go back to that.
