IE startup, false starts

[Guest craig311]

When trying to access the internet, upon the initial try, my computer

will not connect. It does not allow me to even click out as it is

telling me it is not responding for a long time. Eventually I can get

the message that windows is looking for a solution and I can put down

the window.

 

So, what I have to do to get on the internet is click on internet

explorer a second time, even as the ohter window might be still

searching and locked up. Then it comes right up, or I might have to try

a third time. This is a Gateway computer GT5411E. Running windows XP.

 

I have the compter virus protected by mcafee, with firewall and have

run Registry Fix and spybot.

 

Any suggestions?

Always state your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when

posting to this newsgroup, please.

> I have...run Registry Fix

 

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read

http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions. (Your

use of "Registry Fix" may have caused the problem in the first place!)
