This has been going on for a while now.

When i open IE and Firefox at the same time. I search for something use google and then click on the link. IE7 will take very long to open up the desired webpage while firefox is quicker. IE 7 has been actin up lately and thats why i dowloaded fire fox. I can't even play videos on youtube using ie7 it takes too long to load

You can't uninstall IE7 in vista i think its built in cause i can't find it in the appwiz. I don't have google tool bar, reset internet to default settings, And iv also tried running in no-addons mode

Hi Karen50 I'm Cameron

In general Firefox has been proven to be faster then Internet Explorer. That's the main reason most people use it.

What security program do you have on your computer? I suspect it might be your firewall. And I know you've said it's slow on loading in IE, but how slow? How long or does it even ever load any pages/videos?

Thanks,
Cam
