I'll update this.

So I may have been missing the Java update for update for many months.

That's interesting.
I've been having a bit of a nightmare with Broadband speed this evening.


Checking my installed software, I noticed 2 different Java updates were showing,
Java Update 13 & Update 7 together (I only mentioned Update 13 in my earlier post).

Not sure if that's right or wrong.

I installed Update 18, which replaced the Update 13.
No real change in Pc behaviour.

I then removed Update 7.

I think behaviour may have changed.

I'll check today & tomorrow to see if it really has changed.

When using Internet Explorer 7, some website pages finish loading very slowly.

http://www.theargus.co.uk/

The main part of page loads ok, but the adverts load 45 seconds later !!

During this my scroll bar on right of page is locked, so I cannot scroll contents of article which is really annoying.

Bingo !!

It's looking good. :T

Repeating this as test where I was having problem, it seems to load much faster & smoother with no real delay. Scroll bar is not locked.

I probably had this problem for years !

2-4 years would be my guess.

• Java 5 Update 7 - May 2006
• Java 6 Update 7 - July 2008

I'm still coming to terms with this !! :mad:

I first noticed problem years ago with ebay, which I think maybe has become Java intensive. I then started using Firefox for ebay.

Thinking it was problem with VirginMedia Broadband, I got engineer in 2-3 times, with limited success. I'd have to check, but it was a good few years ago, maybe 3-4 years, like you say !!

One thing that can really slow dow Internet Explorer is running lots of Add-ons. I recommend going under the Tools menu, selecting Manage Add-Ons, and disabling most, if not all of them.

I'm just testing this.

Have disabled all of following in Manage Add-ons:

Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer
Add-ons that run without requiring permission
Downloded ActiveX Controls (32-bit)

Can't see any problems so far.

Can disabling Add-ons cause other problems or will IE just load or warn you if it needs something ??

closed

flash may stop working.
