Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / June 2006It Takes Awhile for my Homepage to show
Since we have some very intelligent people here concerning Windows XP, I think you can help me. When I turn on my laptop computer and double click internet explorer, it takes awhile for my homepage to appear, and I`m on a cable hook-up, and use Google as my homepage. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

James Hi James, If it's just the initial loading of IE and your home page, that simply indicates the program was not preloaded into memory at system startup. The first time it will take longer to initialize and load the first page. As well, there may be other startup routines that have not completed and are occupying system resources. If the behavior continues into subsequent pages loading, then I would suspect a plug-in as the problem.

You`re right Rick, It does ok after the homepage downloads, but at the start I do have MSN Messenger,McAfee and Desktop Weather start up. Thanks James You might find getting rid of McAfee helps. There are free alternatives. I've seen McAfee casue some fairly horendous slowdowns. The other thing to look at is how much ram memory you have. If you only have 256 MB you will probably find there is a lot of data swapping\paging, it depends on how many open programs you have.
