Hi,

You've been great in the past in helping me with my previous problems, and now I have another. Simply put, my computer is awfully slow to open pages and I'm on with cable dsl. It's almost like I'm on dial-up.

I'm running windows xp.

Thanks,

Tim

I used what you suggested and I also use CleanCache 3.0 which I believe does the same thing. It is still extremely slow and also does not let me open any pdf files. I have to save them and then open the saved files. If I don't and click on the download, a window pops up telling me the Internet Explorer has experienced an error and has to close.

I use to be able to open pdf files and links without saving them.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Tim

That was happening with me once too. I'd try re-starting the modem and router if you have one.
