Hi,

I have recently formatted my Main Hard drive and re-installed Windows
XP Pro, and everything worked fine, until last night, i think it was
something i downloaded, but when i open internet explorer nothing
happens, and if i leave it for about 5 minutes it will finally open.
once it is open, i typed the website i want in the address bar and
then it will hang for another 2-5 minutes until the website loads,
basically everything i do in Internet Explorer it takes over 2 minutes
to do and its really annoying. This also happens in Windows Explorer,
if i go into my computer it will take ages to open, but once it is
open, i can move around like normal with no freezing or anything (in
that window).

Oh, and i nearly forgot to say that Internet Explorer and Windows
Explorer both load fine (with no hanging) in Safe Mode.

Please, if anybody can help, it will be appreciated.
 
Rule out parasites.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.

If you used the msnews.microsoft.com server the post would still be there.
