Scrolling and selecting text is lagging in IE on my Win2k...

Dave_7 · 08-31-2003, 09:02 AM

It lags to select text, to scroll up or down the page on any pages more complex than www.drudgereport.com or other "simple" sites.

Got|Apex? lags. Any ideas to troubleshoot? I did the usual, scan for viruses, ran adAware, reinstalled sp3... It's been maybe a few weeks?

Video card?

I don't know what else to look for.

Thanks...

Dave.

Popups slow my system down dramatically. I have gotten into the habit of temporarily disabling Java Scripting.

Ran the removal tool... and shazam! All better.

Beware!

Damn spyware will get you every time. I had one of the field reps complaining up and down about what a sh*tty laptop we had given him, how we need to buy him a new one because this one is soooo slow, etc. Now this was a top of the line P4 laptop, so I thought he must be having some hardware problems.

Next time he was in the office, he brings it to me, boots it up, and I watch as Kazaa, Weatherbug, iBuddy and a whole slew of other crap load up and start fighting for the network connection. I had to run Ad-Aware about 5 times before it found & removed everything.

You can bet he & his boss heard it from me about that one....
