IE7 will now take quite a while to close, it will close all the tabs, blank out the toolbar area and then it will hang for about 5 seconds.

I have tried the usual, temp files etc, obviously it is bordering impossible to reintall IE7, is there any fixes I can try.

Thanks!

Try to disable the addons you don't use (Skype's one for example)
Or simply install Firefox or Opera and forget all about your problems with IE

I have tried with no add-ons, plus I only have google toolbar.

And, although this will get me beaten up, I actually like IE biggrin.gif *runs*

So do I smile.gif Do you have IE7 set to clear the cache and history on exit, as I find that slows it down a tad - mayhap 2 or 3 seconds

You can check by going Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab then scroll down to the security section and check as to whether or not there is a tick in the empty temporary files when browser closed smile.gif

It is not enabled, and IE7 even slows down when im clicking links, resizing windows, during normal operation.

If you use ATF that will clear them for you - have you tried IE8 yet ?

Give CCleaner a try to help you remove the unnecessary files
