Question

I have RoadRunner cable internet and I have explorer 7 and its just really slow what can I do i already ran ad-ware se and registry scanner and its still super slow o and I also deleted my cookies and temp files help

Answer 1

Call RoadRunner and see if there is a bad connection between your modem and their servers...happened to me with Comcast...

As for the deleting temp files and cookies...that won't help your internet speed at all...it will free up hard drive space...but won't speed up your internet...that is just the answer that people say when they think they know what they are talking about with computers

Answer 2

Sometimes some simple housecleaning will speed things up.
- Many users are not aware of how much RAM is used by wallpaper and/or a screensaver full of graphics. They run in the background and consume memory. (I have only 512mb RAM, run multiple programs simultaneously, and have set my wallpaper and screensaver to blank.)

I don’t do games, but I do know they are primarily graphics which need and use a lot of memory.

- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
-cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
-cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
-then cl Remove.
-This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.

-1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

Additionally, with all this, there are times when the internet itself is slow -- too many people online -- the internet is like road traffic -- fairly light during the day, busier at night, busier still on weekends, and on holidays - forget it.
