I own internet explorer 7 and window xp?
Answers: Yes
yes and you dont lose your favourites
Slow computer IE freezes
==================
Note: only own to do Safe mode if the files will not delete in usual mode. Try normal first.
Slowly stroke the F8 key while the computer is powering up
Just after Verifying DMI files occur the F8 key will point the computer to a menu where on earth safe mode can be special.
Note if you mistakenly tap F8 push button again, it will continue through to middle-of-the-road boot
Scroll and select safe mode beside network
Use explorer to delete the contents of the folder datastore.
Datastore can be found surrounded by c:\windows\softwaredistribution.
You may have to do this regularly when the computer slows.
The folder rebuild itself and the contents are to do with window updates and logs for errors. There is no harm surrounded by deleting the contents.
Reboot.
Also
Over time IE7 seem to set its own (or programs do) tick boxes in the credit tab.
In IE7 (IE6) Tools >Internet Options >Advance Tab
Click Restore advance settings default
Tick empty temp files when browser closes (this empty the cache, which if not uniform, will stop you from going online).
Bullet disable phishing filter (IE7)
Delete Browser History, cookies the whole lot regularly.
Close the browser to set the settings.
NOTE: 2008 will be the year of donate on malware and spyware. I advise NOT to install busy x when asked to on unknown websites. If you allow an active x install and it contains adware or such, no antivirus or anti-spyware will find it, because you own given permission to install it. The cleanup programs reckon that you want it installed. It will be very difficult to remove.
Optional speed fix
=============
If you want IE7 to speed up and work approaching IE6 then do this (you can unlock it later)
Click tools >manage make the addition of ons > enable /disable >select respectively add on and bullet the disable button
Close the browser to set the settings.
IE7 Pro
======
I suggest you put on IE7 Pro - it's an part that boosts IE7, with features approaching extra scripts, spell check, adBlocker, etc. It's free and out of danger to use: http://ie7pro.com/
Just leave it on your PC.
And return with firefox instead no hassle here. Yeas,
V hard to take rid of IE itself as it is part of the os itself,
i.e. xp uses it to operate.
Sorry
