Asking for help with a problem.

[Bill]

I am having a problem with IE 6. I just did a fresh
install of Win XP pro. I am using DSL and when i download
a file i get around 150kps download. This is fine. But
when i go to browse the web it takes forever for a web
page to appear. I mean you open IE 6 and it opens fine, it
even finds the webpage fine, but it will not display it.
It takes about 30 seconds for the page to appear. This
happens on no matter what web page it is. Could someone
please help me on this. Currently i have checked for
virus's using AVG and Norton to be safe and used ad-aware
and they have found nothing.

Thanks for all of you time,
Bill

1. Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.

2. Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP
