IE8 slow/not responding
OK, so I've read all kinds of things about others having IE8 running slow/not responding. I have tried all the tricks, disabling add-on's, resetting IE to default, adding some .dll file/fix to the CMD line, and a "fix" download by Microsoft. all of them not working.
I had done a clean install/format of Windows 7 Professional x64 and it seemed to work fine. It was loading up under 5 seconds, which was acceptable to me. Tabs were working great, and no "not responding" issues, until........
Until I decided to install Microsoft updates. Then, forget about it....takes anywhere from 20-30 seconds to load, constantly displaying "Not Responding"..Funny thing..I purposely didn't install any updates to IE8 purposely to trouble shoot this issue. The only updates were those for Outlook and a few others....I can post more specifically later if need be as I am on laptop now and don't have access to my Desktop.
Compared to Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari, these browsers open and run so much faster than IE8. I would love to set default browser back to IE8 but for now, till I can get it to work correctly, I think I will stick with Safari as my default...
Any ideas, other than the one's mentioned, unless I did something wrong, would be gratefully appreciated.
