  1. Mine is the same, if you have an Xbox, laptop or other computer on the same modem via your router, that could slow it down, or it could be your internet provider limiting you for some reason or you could have too many programs running at the same time, when i load my computer up to 7 programs are already running, or it could be a virus, you should run scans on your computer normally once a week.

    Hope this helped??


  2. 1st clean the junk files out, next make sure you have a good firewall program....

  3. Run some virus scans... can slow it down, and if you have had your internet explorer/firefox what ever for a while it starts to get slow, try reinstalling it. Good Luck

  4. shut your router and cable modem down for 3 minutes. turn the cable modem on first, wait until it is fully up and running. them the router if you have one.

  5. First and explantion: You may recall that when you visit a web site that shows hyperlinks to other pages, the hyperlinks are a different color if you have already visited the linked page. Your browser does this by keeping a list of all the pages you have ever visited and then comparing it to the hyperlinks on the page you are about to view. Before fully loading the page, it compares the hyperlink to everyone of the pages you have ever viewed. Let's say you have viewed 1000 pages previously and that the page you are about to view has 20 hyperlinks. Your computer has to perform 20,000 comparisons before it can open the page. That's a lot of work.

    You can simply erase your history by selecting Tools, Internet Options, General tab. Select erase history. The obvious disadvantage will be that you won't know if you've been there before. But it should load fast.
