Can anyone here shed some light on a problem I've been having using Explorer
in XP Home. I've done all of my updates and am current including service
pack 2. My problem is that it is often painfully slow accessing and loading
web pages. Quite often when doing a download such as a software purchase
from a web site the download starts and goes to varying %'s and stops and
just sits there indefinitely doing nothing. If I retry sometimes it does
the complete download other times it will stop at a different degree and
just sit there. I am on broadband and have gone to speed test web sites and
confirmed that my connection is one of the fastest available in North
America. Out of exasperation and as a result of recommendations from a
friend I downloaded and tried the Opera Web browser and found that it was
consistently much faster and did the same downloads quickly and flawlessly
non-stop. The downside is that I prefer Explorer (if it works properly) and
many web sites features are not compatible with Opera. Is there any way I
can improve my Explorer's performance? Thanks in advance for any advice.
