Does anyone suffer from serious internet explorer slowdowns?
My system is about 1200mhz with 512mb of memory, so it can run the internet with ease.
BUT, whenever i start doing tabbed browsing in IE7, or open more than one IE 7 window, everything starts to slow down and windows start turning completely white, before small sections of the window start to appear. It doesnt do this all the time, but it does do it quite often.
It is so frustrating. Is it my computer, is it IE 7 or is it both? It never did this with IE6.
What would you recommend?
Answers:
you prob have a virus run a safety scan
I would recommend using Mozilla Firefox - it's smaller, uses less processing power and will speed up your browsing, alternatively use Opera (also free). IE is really poor and not secure.

yes i do,what causes this prob?
I haven't suffered from this for around 2 months!
This is because I don't use Internet Explorer anymore, I use Mozilla Firefox.
As a rival to Microsoft, it is very good.
The pop-up blocker works very well and theres an inbuilt virus checker.
If you want more than one page open, you open them in another tab WITHIN Firefox rather than running another IE at the same time.
This frees more memory for speed.
It's free to download and use and I heartily recommend it!

You dont have enough RAM
There is a known issue with IE7 and it's antisphishing tool that can cause serious slow downs; try switching this feature off and restarting IE to see if there is any improvement.
Go to Tools>Phishing Filter>Turn Off Automatic Website checking>select the off button>OK
The symbol for tools is the grey gear wheel; if you can't see it, use the menu bar. Press ALT.
If problems persist, clean your browser cache and cookies. Use CCleaner it's free here

under the IE tab,check the boxes marked temporary internet files,cookies, history, recently typed urls, delete index.dat files (these will be cleaned when you restart your pc not just your browser!). Click on run cleaner.
If you don't have a good spy scanner already, use Spybot Search & Destroy, free here

Sometimes some antivirus or antispyware settings can cause slow downs in IE, especially Spyware Doctor which is a resource hog in my opinion.
If you are worried about phishing sites, there are good alternatives such as McAfee Site advisor free here

or use an online site such as Scandoo or Linkscanner
