I downloaded firefox and it opens almost straight away but I'm used to IE7 and would like to continue to use it. (plus I dont like the way FF likes to fill in the address for ya like autofill in the address bar)

I have norton as well as have updated it but it seems to have made no difference

I have 3meg bb and am running XP.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Have you tried doing some maintenance, such as clearing the cache and history, also maybe doing a defrag.

You could also try out the beta version of IE8
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=33FB40FD-2EE2-476A-A152-ED03734691B3&displaylang=en

Be warned though that it is still in beta stage and so no help will be given by MS.

Hey,

My IE7 slowed has slowed down a bit too, and it happened straight after I installed some Windows Updates for it. It crashes sometimes too for certain websites. The problem is probably just some 'rogue' code on certain web pages that IE doesn't like.

I still use IE7 a lot. But some sites are very slow in it for some reason. I switch to Safari for those, its really quick on those same sites.
