| What Internet Browser Do You Use? I'm having a terrible time with my windows pc & can't seem to find the problem. This thing has been an endless problem literally since day one, and if I can't fix it or get it fixed with no out of pocket expense it's getting recycled. I normally use Mozilla Firefox, my pc is running soooo slow (no virus, malware, etc. can be detected), so I decided to try to open Internet Explorer. It is a little bit faster, but I really don't like it for several reasons. My friend uses Google Chrome. I'm sure there are some other ones out there as well. I just wondered which one you like, I am probably going to do a destructive system restore tomorrow & want to start out with the best everything hopefully, when I get it back up & running. Thanks in advance! (and please wish me luck)

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I always use Mozilla. But, it's interesting you said this...bc now I realized how "draggy" my browser has been for about a week...it longer hesitation after any click I make, like it can't keep up. Is that similar to what's happening with you too?

| I use IE. Since you don't have a virus, could you be out of memory on your computer, or could it be your processor that is slowing down your computer? When it gets technical like that I really don't know what I am talking about, but here at work when we got new computers with bigger processors and more memory, I was amazed at how much faster things are using the same IE.

| Before you ditch it why don't you contact RoboYorkie. He's great and can take a look remotely to clean things up.....cheap too! I just purchased a new iPhone and was having problems with my iTunes account and he was able to fix it after I messed around for 3 days with Verizon, in store tech help, Apple and torn the hair from my head.

it is like that too, but also on YT for example it will take 30-60 seconds soemtimes to pull up the reply window once i click for it or when i go to new posts, etc, the ads will never load (not that i personally care) but my address bar will still be saying connecting forever and ever. when i was trying to access my isp account i left the page loading overnight and never got it!

| Have you done a Disc Check? That speeded mine way up to get those problems fixed - that and cleaning out cookies, etc. frequently! I use IE 8 something. My laptop used to be slow - fast now.

Also check your memory. Go to Local Disk (C: ) properties, General tab and you'll see how much memory your computer has left.
