Lots of little things you can do to speed things up:
- don't have 10 programs loaded at startup and running at the same time
- don't have a complex screensaver (it runs in the background and uses your RAM)
- Go to Tools, Internet Options. Delete cookies, offline files, and history.
- Run a Disk Cleanup
- Run a scandisk.
- Run a defrag
When you are finished,
click Start
click Run
type msconfig renew (that's msconfig space renew)
See if this doesn't help.
You should be doing this regularly anyway. At least every two weeks. The more frequently you do it, the less time it takes.

try emptiyng your cache... go to Tools>options>empty cache or delte files... if that doesnt work switch over to firefox AND get a faster internet conenction. But if u already have DSL it also depends on how far you are from the DSL source...the further u live from it the slower the connection

attempt to get 128 MB of RAM a minimum of, and that's maximum suitable to objective the greater modern Intel processors available like Celeron on your problematicchronic, or attempt an improve on those processors contained in the problematicchronic. And be helpful which you have sufficient digital memory or you will finally end up with embarrassing "utility hangs" which will wreck your entertainment on your pc...distinctly in case you employ domicile windows.
