Gte rid of internet explorer 8 or Chrome.

Cotrol panel%26gt;add remove programs.

You operating system will keep it's original explorer version.



Use Firefox and install the following Add ons. You will be given a tab bottom right to allow Ads, Script and flash to any web site you choose. I just temporarily allow sties that I don't use very often.

First off, have you downloaded the latest Internet Explorer, IE 8? It's faster than older versions. Get it at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Interne鈥?/a>



If you have it already and it's slow then try fixing this problem by troubleshooting IE 8 with Add-ons disabled - http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07鈥?/a>



You can also reset IE 8's settings by going to Tools %26gt; Internet Options, then the 'Advanced' tab, and then clicking the 'Reset...' button. That may work.

Your problem might be virus or malware or similar bugs. Do you have a good antimalware program installed? If you have the Yahoo toolbar it has a very good and very quick cleanup program that gets rid of some bad stuff very quickly (seconds, not minutes)



About browsers: people write a lot and pick sides and act as if the other browser is not as good as their favorite browser. I used to take sides too. Not any more. I find good and bad in each browser. Just make sure you do your updates.



For thos Chrome fans: so far Chrome is a distant third in the browser race. Less than 10% adoption. It's possible Google may drop Chrome because it isn't getting customers.
To be honest Internet Explorer is very slow for most people. You are on the right track with mozilla firefox and i'm not crazy about chrome but for it. If you can ditch internet explorer. Internet Explorer also has big security risks so yeah...Why is microsoft internet explorer so slow that it keeps freezing up?
sire u need this browser the firefox from mozilla its for free download it

http://www.mozilla.com/products/download鈥?/a>

after u get used to it you'll hate the day that u knew other browsers
It might be because you don't have the latest updates for your pc. Try to download and install the latest updates using the windows update utility!
you are the first person that uses a specific browser for specific website. just use chrome if you like it. who cares about microsoft.
because microsoft sucks

go buy a mac and use safari
Use chrome %26amp; firefox.IE is very slow and crashes very often.
Scan for spyware\malware.
