IE lagging

conZ

This is going to take me about 10 minutes to finish.

Whenever i use boards.ie, o2.ie, anything like that, IE always lags when scrolling. It takes a good while for it to load, an CPU usage goes up to 100% when scrolling, typing, and loading.

I'v downloaded Adaware and Spyware Blaster. Downloaded updates on each.

Any ideas?

could be scrolling mouse (intellimouse) or display driver

could be snap to default button setting in mouse control panel, disable that too

I woulda checked ads/spyware first meself nowadays....

what happens if you scroll down a word doc or a pdf file ?

IE5? IE6? Are you 100% certain you have the most recent version? Does it happen with the scroll wheel and the keyboard?

If you can't fix it, there are always other browsers out there, notably firebird, opera and mozilla, all of which happily stand shoulder to shoulder with IE in any category of which I can think.

Opera 7 is really great.You should download or buy it.But keep IE for the odd site that has been developed with Opera in mind which has become much rarer in the last year.

Tried it on IE 5, IE 6 (internet explorer service pack 1), Opera.
Display Drivers Det's 23.11, 30.82 and 41.09.

ill try the logitech mouse drivers later, i have them here. Its not snap to default setting either

conZ

No, its not any of them.

something similar is happening to me... in a few websites I find text entry is very slow. For example in a chatroom i visit I could be finished typing a sentance and it takes the next few seconds for it to fully appear in the text box. Highly annoying

Or you could use Mozilla 1.3. Unlike IE it blocks pop-ups, manages cookies and passwords, includes IRC chat and includes a mailreader with spam filtering. You can surf multiple sites in one tabbed windows (like Opera).

Hmm, and only took 1 month to reply!

Got the problem fixed. Simple format and install of XP Pro.

I can't understand how IE is the most popular browser when the competition is so much better
