takes a long time to open some sites

[castek]

Hi guys,

i bought a laptop that had Vista Home basic installed (was the last laptop and i couldnt option "up" to XP)
now my problem is, that when i open a website that requires me to log in ie: ebay, my bank website, my webmail etc, it takes atleast 3-5 minutes before it opens up the page. i am on 1500k broadband, so its not my connection, as my desktop loads everything fine.

i had norton firewall installed, and i took that off but it still takes me ages to load up a site

any help is appreciated

Hi castek,

in IE7 goto Tools-Internet Options , then go to the Advanced tab.

Near the bottom right hand side you will see a button with Reset.

Click this and it will repair IE7 for you and hopefully the sites will load up faster,

ok i've followed that info, but since i have typed in my webmail address, i have made a coffee, come to this site, logged in, typed this reply and its still loading

Hi castek,

can you try Right Click on Internet Explorer and select Run As Administrator and try the sites again,

tried this, still nothing

it says |protected mode off but still not loading them up any quicker

this is frustrating. i usually put up with this because i mainly use my desktop, but thats crashed, and i cant reinstall windows on it because of some problems

Hi castek,

lets try and rebuild your TCP/IP...

Open a command Prompt by right clicking on the Prompt icon and select Run As Administrator..

then enter the following command...

Quote:

netsh int ip reset c:\tcpreb.txt

if there are any errors they will be in c:\tcpreb.txt

ok i tried this. said everything was ok in the prompt. rebooted the laptop, still waiting for the page to load.

there's only two files in my c:/ folder, TB.txt and bcmwl6.txt

Hmmm... I think it's because you're using IE! No seriously, maybe it's just something about the browser. I suggest you try a more robust and hasslefree browser: Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable
