* If you can give us any deatils on the history of the problem, that might help.

* Is this just an IE issue, or are other network functions (sending/receiving email, for example) slow also?

* Give us the details of your network/Internet setup.

Well a couple days ago when i opened internet explorer it took a few seconds as it usaully does because im on wireless internet but anyway then when i went to aol.com it took way too long to load almost two minutes. Im pretty sure that its IE either that or road runner is having trouble i tested my speed it was only 300k when the wireless is connected to a 512k so mine is supposed to be around 490k since its wireless. So if anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate it.

OK- A few likely possibilities: IE could be corrupted, your connection/ISP could be having problems, or you could have gotten infected with something that is interfering with your browsing.

1. Download and run ATF Cleaner. It's a free, easy-to-use utility which deletes old (and possibly corrupt) Temp files, cookies, and the like.

2. Download the free IEFix utility. As the name implies, it fixes a few common Internet Explorer problems which can slow down or "break" your web browsing.

3. Do a thorough check for virus/spyware infections. Recommended antivirus/antispyware programs, links to free online scanners, and more can be found in these threads:

4. Call Road Runner and ask them to test your line.

5. Download another web browser (Firefox, Opera, etc.) and see if that browser performs as expected.

IE7's new phishing filter makes things slow, turn it off
