IE fails to render some sites

[gregrocker]

This is the second install on older hardware (Intel 945gm chipset) within two months that has IE9 unreliability, with some sites failing to render at all.

I have reinstalled flash player, Java, reset Internet Options to default, and it still just hangs there. This is very annoying.

I had a similar situation two months ago and ended up installing Firefox to solve it. Is this a known issue? Is there are decent troubleshooter?

A google search.

EnhanceIE.com - Troubleshooting Internet Explorer problems
Problem: Slow Page rendering

1. Increase the connection limit. This tweak allows IE to make up to 16 connections per server.

2. Ensure that both "HTTP1.1" checkboxes in Tools | Internet Options | Advanced are checked

I've just found out why wired.com was failing to display the headline stories in IE9 - it seems they changed something recently (I'm not versed in web coding ) and the page seems to change to Quirks mode and resetting to IE9 default (alt/9 but doesn't work for me) seems to cure this. Not sure how to set it so it always displays correctly. It displays correctly in Firefox - both are up to date as is the OS.

:huh:
