IE7 requires more resources than IE6 and Vista much more than that. So make sure your computer is as clean as possible and in order.
A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.
Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from CA.

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Now lets clean up your registry.
Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...

You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.
Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/clea...
Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy - all in one easy solution. All for free!
Now lets clean up your disk.
Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.
Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup. Let it do its thing. You can check every box that has something to delete. Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.
Now lets tweak your connection.
There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.The first one is TCP Optimizer.
Description: The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that provides an intuitive interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. There is no installation required, just download and run.

The second one is Cablenut.

All programs are FREE!
After applying the suggestions above you will have a clean and faster computer. Enjoy.

Personally, I think ie is the worst of the three popular Internet browsers. Netscape is descent, but Firefox is the best. (I've used them all.) I recommend downloading Mozilla's Firefox.
It also could be your computer, such as the Central Processing Unit (CPU) isn't fast, or you have little Random Access memory (RAM). If you upgrade to Vista though, which has here been suggested, then you might actually make your computer slower depending on the mount of RAM and processing power your computer has.

al new programs are slow because the people making them asume that the new computer will use them and they will be faster. i have noticed this will all sorts of programs like word and explorer 7 its just because it has more fetures and does more stuff, nad has better graphics. i like to use the older software because its fast, i only start to use the new stuff when i absolutly have to.

IE7 has so many bugs..not to mention it pretty much stole its interface from Firefox...do yourself a HUGE HUGE favor and switch to Firefox...this is by far the best browser available on the internet bar none! you will not be dissapointed! trust me!

Turn off the phishing filter ... it is mostly that that slows the page loading down.
