Internet Explorer is Mega Slow

[McKlaxxhammer]

I am having a not so serious problem with my internet explorer.
Its not really running slw, it just stops doing anything for 5 mins then finally loads. I can do anything on my pc while its loading, i just cant touch my int explorer cause its jammed. I have cable internet and everything else like online games and limewire run at regular speeds.

Also, while its jammed, 50% of cpu usage is going to int explorer and the other 50% is going to a process called "hostdll.exe"

No clue what that means but i thought it may help.

your main problem is that your using internet explorer.

Its probably spyware try these tool to remove it

spyware sweeper - Internet Explorer

Ad aware SE - http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10319876.html


then use Mozzila firefox to surf the net its faster and better than internet exploere and you wont get infected with spyware

Glad you like it do this to make it even faster:


1.Type "about :config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages much faster now!

do i need to do anything after that to save it?,
or can i just close the window after i make those changes?

And will these changes have any possible negative affects?
