ElAguila Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I am running the x64 version of Windows 7 beta 7000. I have noticed that the 32bit Internet Explorer is very slow to bring up web pages. Any ideas how to speed things up? I haven't tried the 64bit version of IE because flash doesn't work with it.

cluberti Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 IE8 shouldn't be slow, specifically, but the build that shipped with Win7 build 7000 was not the RC1 build (it was barely past the beta build released last year). Is it one specific site that renders slowly, or a set of specific sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElAguila Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 It seems to be all of the sites. I can go the same sites with Opera or Chrome and they come right up. If I download the RC1 for vista from Microsoft will it install and upgrade the version that is in this beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 No, you cannot upgrade IE8 on Win7, as that's the version that ships with the OS. However, if it's all sites, and you aren't using a proxy, I might suggest trying to start IE with no add-ons to see if that's what is causing it (start > iexplore.exe -extoff) to start in safe mode.

ElAguila Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 I tried that and it is still sluggish. I guess the only thing left to try at this point is the do a rebuild of Windows 7 and see if that fixes the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Could be - iexplore.exe -extoff isn't completely deviod of add-ons, only add-ons that don't hook the process. I would also check safe mode w/networking and running IE as well, before doing a complete rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm a dialup user.In build 7000, IE8 is so slow I no longer try to use the internet with Windows 7.I am use to waiting for things to load, but this is ridiculous.by the way, I clear my cache often, it isnt affecting my judgement here.My PC multiboots 4 different OS so I boot up Vista If I need to go on the net.shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitas Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) 我认为它并不是缓慢的，只是有的网站与IE 8不兼容造成的！[Translation follows:]IMO it is not slow, the cause is likely because some sites are not compatible with IE8!

razormoon Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Seeing the exact same thing with build 7022. I was thinking that it was the Kaspersky preview for Windows 7. The same mess with connector for WHS. When logging on in the mornings (PC has been left on) it takes several minutes before a) connector software "connects" B) folder opens to view network files stored on WHS c) RDP to connect. It says to "check to make sure that name is spelled correctly". If I wait those several minutes then all goes back to normal...til the next morning.
