SenutyEnool Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) G'day MP, have you recently done an MS update? I updated my secondary PC the other day (34 of the bloody things) which took over half an hour to download and install. Since the update, IE is VERY slow in loading (can take over 2 minutes and also hangs occasionally) and have now installed O9, which works like a dream without making any other setting changes. Not sure if the update was the problem but I have a sneaking suspision that it was :ninja: Cheers ______________________ Ermmm, only just now had the image load. Are you sure it's an IE problem and not a FF one? Reason I ask is because the image displays the download as being related to FF by your FF internet icon.... just a stab in the dark here. Cheers :P Edited May 29, 2006 by SenutyEnool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again this is a stab in the dark for a solution as I haven't run across this problem. Do you get the same with FF? If not, then it's a sure bet your IE setup is screwed Cheers :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Proof Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 no problems with FF so im sure that it's a IE problem. i even set everything back to default with IE to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenutyEnool Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 no problems with FF so im sure that it's a IE problem. i even set everything back to default with IE to no avail. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The way I'd work this is to do 2 things, remove IE and Outlook and reload both with default settings, then go and grab the updates and let them install fully. Not sure if this would work, but it might be worth a shot. Could also wait a bit and see if anyone else has had this problem and have found a fix for it.

Monkey Proof Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 oohhh, i'd rather wait and see if anyone else has any input before i do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenutyEnool Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 oohhh, i'd rather wait and see if anyone else has any input before i do that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's probably the best idea as my solution is really a last resort to get it all running again. Let us know how it pans out of if you do come across a solution. Cheers :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted May 30, 2006 Administrator Share Posted May 30, 2006 May want to post a Hijack log just in case. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted May 30, 2006 Administrator Share Posted May 30, 2006 It almost seems like your browser isn't catching the file associations. Have you tried Dial-a-fix to check for any problems, or used it to reinstall IE? If not, give that a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Proof Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 i used DAF but i didnt use it to reinstall IE..i'll give it a shot. EDIT: Problem fixed after i downloaded and ran the latest version of DAF. i had been using version 0.57. i also uninstalled eTrust and downloaded Avast since i like how it performes on my parents computer.
