Internet Explorer 5.1.7 very slow

Hi, Starting today, my Internet Explorer 5.1.7 is running very slow and is crashing much too often. What should I do to correct problem?

You do not indicate how much real RAM you have. Here are a few suggestions for you to try:
Increase IE Preferred Memory by at least 300%.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18278 Mac OS: Assigning More Memory to an Application Program.
The same directions are also in the OS Mac Help Menu.
Once a week in IE Edit>Preferences, delet History, Empty Cache (if you have cable set Cache to 0).
Once a week Go into the system folder>preferences folder & trash the following preferences:
finder
ASLM
PPC Registration Database
Cache.waf-found inside the MS Internet Cache folder
MRJ Cache folder-a new one will be recreated.(If not found go to System folder>Application Support>MRJ Cache folder-trash all you find inside-(DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER)
Download Cache-found inside Explorer Folder
Downloads.html-found inside Explorer Folder
History.html-found inside Explorer Folder
Rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop - may delete Finder comments to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
Restart to turn the extensions back on again & empty the trash.
If you want to rebuild manually, see KB article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10182 Rebuilding Desktop File and Icon Recovery.
If the above does not work, then dump the %#&*X@ & check out other Mac browsers

Hello @vijay79,
I understand that after downgrading to Windows 7 your internet speed has slowed down. What connection type are you using to connect to the internet wired or wireless? Have you ensured that you have installed all the drivers from the HP Pavilion Desktop - 500-400na - Software & Drivers page? If not please do so.
If after you have ensured that all the drivers are installed you still have the slow speed issue please re-post with the answers to my questions and I will be happy to help you further. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Phone reception HORRIBLE, have to select from drop down menus 2x and INTERNET now freezes and is VERY SLOW SINCE NK1 UPDATE a week ago, no problems prior

I have had my Note 3 since about 14 months now and have loved it until the last Verizon update. Since the update my reception is very poor / "breaks up" in my shop. This is the same shop I have been working in for 6 YEARS!!! Also when I select a drop down tab like a credit card month and make my selection it NEVER saves the 1st time, always have to do it 2x. The internet used to work great in my shop and could stream Pandora without an issue, now it take 2 minutes to load the first song.
I feel these simple software issues could make people feel the need to upgrade their phone even though there is nothing wrong with their current phone, pretty creative sales tactic if you ask me. All I want is my phone to work like it did prior to the 1/16/2015 update. If I have change my ways and run my off wifi everywhere like I had to back when I had Sprint I might as well switch to a cheaper provider.
My time is money and wasting time trying to make a phone work like it did before a software update is very frustrating. I have already gone to a Verizon store and was told to do a complete reset. I spent 2 hours saving everything to my cloud, reset the phone and the same problems still exist. Please help me find a solution to my problems ASAP

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I am having trouible with Pogo/Java. I was able to play games but now it says I have a problem. I can use Internet Explorer but it is so slow. Why can't I use Firefox anymore.

When I log into Pogo it will not let me play on-line games. Oops, something is not right...
Java Not Found or Not Working
Explanation:
This error means Java (one of the technologies built into most browsers) is not working correctly on your browser.
You must have Java installed on your computer in order to run Pogo games, and it must be functioning properly. Either you don't have Java installed yet, or the Web browser you're currently using doesn't support Java or you have Java (or Javascript) disabled in your browser.
How to Fix the Problem:
Java is a free download that is required to play Pogo games. Not all computers come with Java pre-installed.
If you haven't played Pogo games before and are getting this error, you probably just need to install Java on your computer.
For instructions on installing Java for your operating system and browser click here.
If you believe Java might be installed but disabled for your browser, please be sure to enable the plugin for your browser. If you need help, click here.
If you already have Java installed and it is not disabled, your Java may be out-of-date or is no longer working. In that case, your Java might need to be upgraded or reinstalled. If you need help, click here.
I have done what they say but I still cannot get on-line like I was able to about a week ago.
Do you have any suggestions?

This has been fixed in Firefox 3.6.15, use the "Check for updates" option in the Help menu to install it.

Can not access e-mail on aol website using Foxfire, but can using internet explorer, why?

For last 2 days, I have been unable to access my aol e-mail using Foxfire (other websites are fine including Facebook) The "news" part of the website is also OK. I can access the e-mail via Internet Explorer, but it is very slow compared to Firefox in the past. Any suggestions?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Very slow internet access..... - interesting issue !

I have 3 computers at home: PC XP, PC Vista and a new imac 24'' since 4 weeks....
As side comment I'm disappointed in Apple... I expected much more… more issues than Vista seems….
10.4.11 + Safari 3.0.4 + Firefox.
Internet on my Mac is very slow. On the same network (wireless with WEP 128) when I enter a new page on my PC and Mac at the same time it take to the Mac approx 5 time more time to display (safari or firefox)…
On safari I have empty the cash and “reset safari”…still the same….its dam slow for Internet access. I also removed the Wireless encryption but still the same….
Does somebody have a clue what it could be?

The DNS is coming from the dsl provider. Very often your router simply gets the dns automatically. With Leopard, I suspect some of the settings are such that things time out before the dns gets through. What I did was look up what the actual IP number of the dsl providers dns was. I added the IP number of the dns provider to my router. So far that seems to have solved my WiFi delays with Leopard (although that could just be a co-incidence).
Exactly how you add the IP number to a router is router dependent. Mine is a netgear, and you do it through a web page link to the router's IP number (which will be listed in the manufacturer's handbook). Generally something like 192.168.0.1
Hope that helps.

Win 7 on bootcamp partition, very slow internet speed

hi!
it might be an answer to my problem somewhere on this forum, but
right now i do not have the time to browse through - so ill just post my problem quick and simple.
im running windows 7 ultimate on a intel imac, via bootcamp. the issue is simple, yet pretty annoying.
in iOS, my internet speed is great, as it should be (my bandwidth is 12/12 mbit).
but in windows 7, for some reason (been like this ever since install) things are going SO slow.
i mean, watching videos on youtube is a nightmare, every 3 second at lowest quality possible, it still
has to buffer. same goes for other streaming sites/services. downloading usually does not exceed 300 kb/ps, but in
ios this could easily hit 1,5 mb/ps.
if i listen to music on say grooveshark (adjusted to lowest quality) the music stops to buffer if i load a different webpage. its that bad.
ive taken a bandwidth check in windows and in iOS, and in iOS the speed is normal, in windows its 1/10th of what it should be.
anyone know why this problem persists?
as i know of, windows 7 doesnt have any bandwidth limiting of default.
so i thought it might be a windows 7/imac hardware conflict. help?

Hi, I'm having the same problem.
I installed win8.1(64bit) on a iMac7,1 20inch(mid 2007) using Winclone.
Everything was working fine after I downloaded some driverhelper and installed those drivers.
Yet the internet on Win8.1 is very slow, the download speed is merely 60-100kb/s .
While if I open the Mac system, the same resource can easily to beyong 2MB/s.
As I have 25Mb/10Mb connection at home.
I'm new here , don't know exactly what driver I need to fix this problem.
Try to install boot camp.
However, I tried 5.0 / 4.0 , it all said bootcamp x64 is not supported on this computer model.
Don't know where i can download the bootcampe 3.0 to have a try ?
Or is it just too old iMac to be fixed？

WRT160N very slow internet

I just received a WRT160N from newegg. The speed from a wireless computer through the router to a wired computer is fast, but the internet for both computers is very slow. Most of the time, webpages will not load. When webpages do load, it takes a long time. I am on a university network. I have a BEFSX41 which works fine (except it only connects at 10mbit on a 100mbit line). Does it sound like it needs to be returned?

I returned the router. I received a new router. It does the same thing. I have the same problems with my laptop and desktop, wired and wireless. Both run Vista. If I try downloading a large file (linux distro), the speed will cycle. It will jump to about 3 MB/s for a second or less, then to zero for about 2 or 3 seconds, then back up. It will do that a few times before it drops and stays at zero. I have tried disabling wireless and firewall. Any other ideas?

Linksys E4200V2 - VERY Slow Performance-WIRED, WIRELESS, INTERNET SPEED

Hi everyone... I just want to start by saying that I am a very unsatisfied customer!
I purchased the Linksys E4200 V2 on 02.06.2012 since this is the latest high end router from Linksys which according to the specs and the reviews this router is supposed to be super mega fast...the box should probably say SUPER MEGA SLOW.
I called support and after spending two hours on the phone they said that the case will be escalated and that someone will contact me within 48 hrs - It has now been more than 72 hrs and no phone calls or emails have come my way - the router is still not performing.
The following is my setup:
HP Quad Core Desktop with Windows 7 x64 bit with 8GB RAM
Network Card is an integrated 1GBPS card
I've upgraded all of my ethernet cables to Cat 6 (to see if this made and difference - which it did not)
LinkSys E4200 V2 router
Western Digital My Book Duo Live 6TB external drive with ethernet port of 1GBPS
This weekend I went as far as reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 on a Solid State Hard drive
My PC is connected to the E4200V2 via Cat 6 cable
The My Book Duo is connected to the E4200V2 via Cat 6 Cable
The E4200V2 is connected to my cable modem via Cat 6 Cable
ISSUES:
WIRED
I am getting no more than 20mbs when I copy a 85GB folder from my PC to my external My Book Duo. I expected to get either 1GBPS speed or at least 400MBs speed since all devices are connected via 1GBPS interfaces and the cables ar Cat 6. I am using both the native windows copy and paste and I am also using TeraCopy to copy files.
WIRELESS
The wireles speed is BAD as well - I am not getting no more than 50MBS with my laptop located just 20 inches from the router.
CABLE MODEM CONNECTION
When I run speed tests to the internet I am getting a very slow speed test of 1.5MBS and sometimes I get 20MBS with the E4200V2 router.
With my OLD Netgear router I get speed tests of 28MBS and never 1.5MBS.

Hi there,
I've got a very similar problem.
I've got the Cisco Linksys E4200 (Firmware Version: 1.0.05 build 7 Aug 23, 2012).
With my previous router, I was able to copy files over the wired network at roughly 11MB/sec (about 100Mbps).
Now, with the new Linksys router plugged in, with the same cables and pcs, etc, I can only get an average copy rate of 4.4MB/sec - under HALF the speed that I was previously getting - and often sustained slow speeds of roughly 1.8MB/sec
Any ideas???
Otherwise I'm returning this router for something else!!!
I can see that you already have the latest firmware. It might be that the firmware is corrupted. What I can suggest is to reflash the firmware, reset and reconfigure the router. You might as well try to disable WMM.

Poor performance scorecard Internet Explorer

When using Internet Explorer (8) the performance of the scorecard module ( strategy map, KPI's, watch list) is VERY POOR.
Both, when running as end user and also while developing scorecards its very time consuming.
In contrast to Firefox. Internet Explorer is a factor 10 slower.
For example, opening a strategy tree with 20 KPI's within Firefox is 1 second
The same action within IE is 10 seconds.
Are there any options within IE (or OBIEE) to solve the poor performance issue?
Regards,
Marcel

Hi,
As I known, with a 64-bit OS, for compatibility reason, the 32-bit IE is your Default browser, not the 64-bit. Most often a difference in performance is seen between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer is more due to the add-ons enabled on
the 32-bit version. Most add-ons aren’t yet compatible with 64-bit Internet Explorer, so the list of enabled add-ons is much shorter.
If you are experiencing noticeably slower performance when using Internet Explorer 32-bit, try using Tools > Manage Add-ons to disable unnecessary add-ons. You can also temporarily disable all add-ons to see the performance difference between running
with an add-on enabled and disabled.
For better support, we would like to confirm the detailed issue you found on IE 64.
Hope it helps.

Outlook keeps opening links in Internet Explorer, regardless of Firefox being the default browser

I have Firefox 4.0.1 running on a Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I have Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 installed as well.
I use Outlook here at work and have Outlook version 14.0.5128.5000 installed, which is part of Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010.
I have tried to set Firefox as the default browser on the computer. When I go to Start->Default programs, Firefox is set to default. When I open Firefox and check in settings, it says it is currently the default browser. I have tried to set IE as the default, then switch back to Firefox etc. But still regardless of this, Outlook opens all links in emails in Internet Explorer.
It is very annoying as IE is a lot slower than Firefox, especially when I already have Firefox runnint and Outlook needs to start a new session of IE every time I open a link.
Does anyone know how I can force Outlook to open links in Firefox when Firefox is already the default browser on the computer but Outlook still opens links in IE?

I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.

How do I return functionality of my bookmarks menu before Firefox update 23.0.1? I don't LIKE internet explorer, now my firefox is acting like IE; gee thanks.

How can I restore the functionality of the Bookmarks shortcut. I DO NOT LIKE internet explorer, it is cumbersome and slow. How can I modify the bookmarks shortcut to act like a menu again? I do not like the bookmarks and history pop-out... Firefox was above the bar, now I have 2 copies of internet explorer on my computer, one with an icon that looks like an E and one that looks like my old firefox browser.... This was a result of the update 23.0.1 this morning, it was perfect when I went to bed last night.... Maybe I should use Chrome?

does it work as expected when you launch firefox in safe mode once (to rule out the interfering of any addons)?

Hi,
I have a page which uses a spry accordion. In Firefox it
works great. In Internet Explorer the animation is very jumpy. I
found some topics regarding this issue but I have tried changing
doctype, inserting the code in spryeffect.js, upgrading to 1.5,

setting and unsetting the content height, but I have had no luck.
Does anyone one know of any other solution I might try, or

Internet Explorer 9 Beta - Anyone using it? Thoughts?

Internet Explorer 9 Beta is very chrome-like visually. The interface has transformed towards the minimalist approach first seen in Google Chrome. It definitely looks pretty and feels faster than ever before. I just hope Microsoft plans to update it regularly once it launches officially in order to keep up with the fast pace of evolution that Firefox and Chrome have demonstrated while steadily dwindling away at Microsoft's once dominant browser usage.
I recommend giving IE9 beta a try, it's not just the browser you use to down the browser you want to use anymore, maybe

I use it at home, and I am completely impressed. The hardware accelleration was a bonus, as I hoped it improved flash performance for my wife in facebook games; farmville, etc. So far it works, but there are occasional reloads, etc, that need to be done not common with Firefox or Chrome. Overall interface is almost precisely like Chrome - it seems a mirror copy with only a branding and icon set change. There are a few additional features but none I'd ever use. As this is a beta version, I'm insure stability will improve over time.
At this point I'd say IE has *caught up* with the likes of Chrome, etc, which might excite Chrome into implementing a few extra changes itself. I would not say that IE has broken any new ground, but it has been 'put back' in my list of browsers I swap through, for reasons of best performance per application.
