Internet Explorer is very slow for 2nd user account.


I have a problem on a PC running Win XP Home Edition. Internet Expolrer 7.0 runs fine for the main user but VERY SLOW for the second one to the point of SOMETIMES timing out. They are both administrator accounts. The problem started soon after upgrade from IE-6. I reverted back to IE-6 and still have the same problem. I've run AdAware, Spybot Search/Destroy, Systemworks "One Button Checkup", and Win Startup Inspector with no change to the problem. I even added another account and that one also is slow. What else can I try?  

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can post a hijackthis log and i can take a look at it for you. Malware might be the cause.
are you still forwarding dns requests to the old isp's dns servers?  that could slow things down...

 switch to google (8.8.8.8) or opendns (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) and see if that helps any, or find the dns servers for your new isp. in this case you can try simply rebooting your home router, if not at home please contact your network administrator.

failing this try using alternative dns -

this is a windows based tutorial so if you r… I had the same problem a couple of months back. Now if this is happening only with Chrome and not with other browsers, then the problem cannot be a virus. But it can be a virus if other browsers and programs are facing equal problems.  
  
So, with chrome as we all know there is a memory problem. So to solve that follow these simple steps.  
  
1. On the top right menu icon, select History  
2. From there select "clear browsing data"  
3. It will prompt for the time span, there you select "beginning of time"  
4. You might lose few data like saved passwords, favorites, but no data will be removed which are saved properly.  
  
After you are done with this, clean your system with Disk Cleaning Software. While doing this don't keep any browser window open especially Chrome.  
If you notice, it is skipping out the Chrome from the list, you have to select the program manually and click on "clear".  
  
After this restart your system and see if it works. If it doesn't then you have to undergo the entire process of uninstalling and re-installing Chrome. how to password protect your browser

1. in internet explorer click on the cog icon in the top right hand corner.
2. a drop down menu appears – click on tools and then in the box that appears click on the 'content' tab at the top.
3. then enable the content advisor…
4. the next step is to set the password. sometimes one or both of these patches help, especially if the system is showing high ram and/or cpu usage when checking updates:

﻿ We currently have all our machines still on Windows XP and have only just upgraded some with Office 2007.


Budget dollars just have been too cost prohibitive to upgrade all 1,000 of our workstations. At some point due to licensing and availability we will be forced to upgrade. 


The one thing I’ve noticed difficulty with right off the bat has been the ability to connect via RDP to a Windows Server 2008 box. Without some registry hacks/mods in XP this can be problematic if the server is set to the newest (and more secure) RDP protocol. Windows 7 doesn’t have this issue. there is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.

hence we are closing this topic. if need further support, please open a new one.

thanks

what’s the frame rate? have you try boost the system to performance mode to try? i just solved the problem myself. there was something wrong with my browser. after a restart everything is working as expected. sorry for the hassle. there is no need for a program to do that. 

here are some simple steps which you can follow:

1.right click on your taskbar and choose start task manager.

2.once task manager is opened go to "processes" tab. 

3.when at the processes tab search for .exe file. (maybe in your case it will look like loop.exe or something) 

4.once you have found it. just right-click on it and hover over to "set priority" option. 

5.here are several options. the default one will be "normal" so just set that to "below normal" or "low". (i would prefer setting it to "below normal" so that it does not act strangely) 

6.it's done now restart your program and check the amount of ram it is using.

i hope this helps you. if not leave a reply and i will figure out another solution. glad to help.:) Hi,
  

  
Try the following:
  

  
Open the Chrome settings and scroll down to the **Advanced** category. Next, in **Privacy and security**, click on **Clear browsing data**.
  

  
In **Time range**, choose the **All time** option and check the **Browsing history**, **Cookies and other site data**, **Cached images and files** and **Hosted app data** boxes.
  

  
Then click on **Clear data** and restart the browser.
