Slow Windows Live Internet Explorer

Recommended Posts

My windowlive mail is ridiculously slow considering I just bought my computer last week. It has 3 G RAM and 2.2MHz and I have high speed cable internet.

It is much faster with firefox but I'd rather use explorer.

Any way to fix it?

I am having exactly the same problem along with the fact that when it starts to open it leaves gaps in the page with the desktop showing through, thought it was just my computer like it but it's really beginning to p--s me off. I downloaded the fix for remember my password on TV and it seems to work ok so thanks to the programmer.

Found this link and it may help you to solve the issue

Internet Explorer

Just been trying the link but keeps coming up Web page cannot be found HTTP 400 Bad Request.

put in front http:// without www

I suspect the TV link cause this this error. The site is up and running

I've just been on the site and followed instructions but when the fix is on the desktop it would not install when told to right click install, so tried installing via IE and it seems to have done the trick, anyway thanks a lot for the info.

I cannot understand why anyone would still be using Internet Explorer in the first place, and particularly spending so much time trying to diagnose and fix it. IE is the slowest browser on the market and fails miserably in HTML standardisation tests such as "ACID test". It's also apparently much more prone to security issues.

Easiest advice? Just download Firefox, Safari or Chrome and dump IE altogether.

Have a look at this recent browser comparative review:

second that... let me add Opera too besides Firefox, Safari and Chrome

I find Opera safest, fastest and lightest on resources.... i hate IE it uses lots of resources

Then there is K-Melon faster than IE

I guess I like Safari for it's speed and compliance with web standards. Also, and this is purely subject, I like it's interface and looks.

In the end, the only one not to even consider is Internet Explorer. It's dog slow on rendering pages, and that's only for the pages it can render correctly since IE is abysmal at complying with web standards. I can't see a single redeeming feature, apart from the fact that Microsoft obviously includes their browser with your Windows operating system and you don't have to download anything.

What's truly amazing is that IE still holds a 67 percent market share for web browsers (according to one reliable source). That really says something about the average internet user (or at least 67% of them).
