Internet Explorer takes a long time to open

[Sean Bartleet]

Hi,

I have recently installed a second HDD in my PC (320 Gb) as a slave. (Also
put in more Ram 1.5Gb). I have moved my data to the slave HDD.

I am finding now that when I open Internet Explorer, it takes about 60
seconds to open. Previously it would open almost instantaneously.

Any ideas at where I can start looking for the problem would be appreciated.

I would start by checking for IE updates or just re-installing IE.

Sean,

Try disabling the add-ons one by one to see if they're causing the delay.
