How do I fix "long running script"?

[Barnum]

My PC is suddenly taking forever to connect to the internet, and I keep getting the message that "a long running script is preventing your connecting to the internet". What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Which Security and browsers do you have installed,
Fix Runtime Errors in Internet Explorer,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822521
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308260
If you have chrome installed as well as Privacy Safeguard which must be an addon for chrome,
Uninstall (Privacy Safeguard)

You can also check this by going to Uninstall a program/ programs and features and seeing if you have Privacy safeguard listed and uninstalling it.
Go to Uninstall a Program/ Programs and Features,
And possibly look and see if any Program Publishers look suspicious.

I have tried these but still same thing. I am using IE10 and Norton 360.

And this is what I see: “A script on this page is causing IE to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive”.

Happens in the morning first time I try to connect to the internet . Takes forever...

If you receive a popup there is usually a direct link to the options to see which one is effecting startup,
Or you can use the Command bar/ Tools/ Toolbars/ Disable add-ons listings=the long route,

I appreciate your help but none of these seems to help...

Once my PC is up and running it's fine, but each and every time it takes at least ten to fifteen minutes to connect to the internet, and it's not my router/modem.

If anyone else has a suggestion I'd love to hear it..

What happens using clean boot,

With the limited information about your system spec's/ Security suite installed it's going to be a long road for anyone to troubleshoot your issue,
Cheers.

Oops sorry Norton my bad,
Use Start and type in the search box,
msconfig
Hit enter,
go to the Startup section and take a screen shot of the Startup section list.

What is your Home page. Try setting a different Home page as see what happens.

[Barnum]

I have tried various home pages...same thing. As for Mr. Fixit, forget it. This program has never fixed anything for me.

Thrash I will try your suggestions in the morning and let you know what happens.

 

[ThrashZone]

Look forward to the added screen shots,
Hopefully the problem will be listed in the startup section list,
Also if you can muster the time go to Manage add-ons and Show all add-ons and take some more shots of it,

There are a ton of search results here you can scroll through as well,

Extremely slow Startup

I am still having problems getting my PC up and running each day. When I turn it on it goes through the normal startup screens but when I get to where I can click on a program (IE 10, Email, Link) it takes forever. Live Mail will freeze about five times before it settles in. Likewise when I try to connect to the internet the start page (no matter what I choose) take forever to open. Once everything is up and going it's fine...fast, etc..no problems.

When I look at MS Config I see nothing in my startup folder but a lot of programs in my Services folder. Should there be something in startup and if so, what?

I have run SFC Scannow, Malwarebytes, Spybot, and scanned with Norton 360. What else could I look for to fix this startup problem. I have a Windows 7 set of discs that I just got from HP, but there is no repair option....just a complete reinstall and I really don't want to do that.

Since you have already run all those programs I would go a step further and do a defrag of the hard disk using the steps in the below link.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11733-disk-defragmenter-open-use.html

Doing this will put the fragments of files that get scattered all over the hard drive over time back in their "proper" places which should help speed up windows a bit since it doesnt have to go "searching" for the proper file(s) it needs for very long when things are in their right spots. Hope this helps.

 

[Barnum]

Thanks, have done that as well and just did it again. I am at a loss as to what is causing this and will keep looking. Perhaps it's something I just have to live with...

 

[indianacarnie]

Have you ran a sfc/scannow? Heres a link to how to do that.

Good point about the Optimize Windows ICit2lol, I had just assumed from the first post that this was already done. Reading back over it I'm not so sure.

Did the chkdsk and ran Malware .... no difference. I also remembered that I will sometimes get the message that a long running script is causing a site to open.

 

[indianacarnie]

Have you considered the repair install? It will save your files and settings as opposed to a clean install.

Is it a long running script or something else??

 

[Barnum]

I have no clue why my startup is so slow. I just happened to think about the long running script thing and thought I would mention it. Probably has nothing at all to do with my problem. I will keep plugging along and see what I can find. Worse case scenario is that I will live with the problem and know it will take a while to boot up.
