IE7 Slow connection

I'm running XP Pro + SP3.

Outlook Express connects immediately but IE takes a long time and sometimes
doesn't connect at all.

I have run all the Anti Progs but it remains the same.

Problems can result when add-ons you have installed are damaged or
conflict with Internet Explorer.

Run Internet Explorer 7 in 'No Add-Ons' mode:

If you have XP: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)

Alternatively, you can create a shortcut on your desktop with the
following target path:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff

If the problem does not occur in 'No Add-Ons' mode, then it's being
caused by one of the add-ons that you have installed. We can show you
how to identify which add-on is causing the problem.

Problems with Internet Explorer can also be caused by by malicious
software ('malware') that has been installed on your computer.

I have the same problem. Ran IE7 in the no add-ons mode and that cured the
problem. How do I identify which add-on is the cause. Also, if I upgrade to
IE8 will that cure the problem.

Thanks in advance

I am alreadt running with "No-addons".
Didn't know it and how is it enabled?

Another problem: when I click on the email notification it doesn't take me
to this forum.

Upgrading to IE 8 won't help with your problem, because your problem is
not caused by Internet Explorer.

Use the Manage Add-ons tool to determine which add-on is causing the
problem:

1- Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs tab > 'Manage add-ons'
button > 'Manage Add-ons' window.

2- In the Show box, select 'Add-ons that have been used by Internet
Explorer' to display all add-ons that are installed on the computer. For
each item in this list, select the add-on, and then click Disable under
Settings. When you have disabled all the items in this list, click OK.

3- Start Internet Explorer 7. Go to Tools > point to Manage Add-ons >
click Enable or Disable Add-ons. Now enable a single add-on, then exit
and restart Internet Explorer 7 to see if it works properly. Repeat
until you determine which add-on causes the problem to occur.

Once you've located the troublemaking add-on(s) ask the vendor's
technical support for help.

In general, never upgrade your operating system unless it is working
properly to begin with.
