And all of the other websites.

I know that all you techies will know this but for those that dont I think this may be of benefit.

I just found out something that has been causing all sorts of problems with my accessing the 'net.

In IE go to Tools and disable ALL of the add-ons.
That's all.
Souped up now.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    Some of those addons are needed depending on system config.. Like the online viewing of PDF files or playing embedded video with Media player..

    But you can turn them back on again, one at a time, to see which ones slow you down.
    Not sure if you need the add-on to view PDF. Haven't tried it yet but didn't think so. Will try again later.
