IE6 slow loading...please help!

[Ed]

When I open to my homepage, (msn.com) or any page other
than google, it takes anywhere from a minute to 5 minutes
to load the page. I am running a adsl connection and have
checked the patch cord with my laptop and all works well.
I feel like it's a registry issue. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks!

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
