    When I click on a link from either a web page or windows Live mail it takes forever to bring up the link. Some of them have taken as long as 5 mins. This just started and I have no idea why.If I type anaddress in or click on a favorite etc. it comes up right away. Im running xp/sp3 with IE 8. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try? DPI.

    Have you tried another Browser to see if the problem is with IE8? Neil.

    In IE go to Tools/Delete Browsing History and put a check in everything but Passwords. See if that helps.

    I tried Fire Fox and determined that the problem was IE so I cleaned up history in IE and it worked. I guess my cleanup program doesnt cleanup everything. Thanks DPI.

    Most of those programs like that are Snake Oil. Phony. Windows does a good job of cleaning up stuff. Disk Cleanup does a great job and it is built into all versions of Windows.
