I liked IE6 so much better. Everything was much faster....games, home page, etc. How do I go back to IE6?

If you installed IE 7 and wish to go back, I simply don't blame you. I don't like it either.
Here are the instructions. I hope that they work for you.
Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7
To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 and restore Internet Explorer 6 when using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Add or Remove Programs.
3. You might have to CHECK the box that says SHOW UPDATES
4. Scroll down to Windows Internet Explorer 7, click it, and then click Change/Remove.
If you cannot find Internet Explorer 7 in Add or Remove Programs, click Start, click Run, type %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst... and then press ENTER.
For more information, check this page at the Microsoft website. http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/releasenotes/
If you have further trouble, you might try the RESTORE thing in the System Tools folder and go back a few days before you made this terrible mistake.

I tried it, too, and gave up. Switched back to IE6 with a System Restore.

you can try disabling the phishing filter, this will speed up the page loading. if you want to uninstall IE7 and go back to IE6, click on your start button and select run. Then copy and paste
%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst
in the dialog box and click ok.

it is slower because it examines the site before it let you actually go to to make sure it is genuine you can turn it off
