Try using firefox and see if the machine exhibits the same problems. Firefox has an IE plugin that allows you to launch IE -- on the rare occasions that you really need IE.Sun, 20 Apr 2008 09:31:48 GMTWAW8http://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic92626-45-1.aspxMy daughter's laptop came installed with Vista home basic &amp; IE7. Web surfing &amp; downloading is as fast as expected but typing a web address in the address bar or in a search engine (ie google) is delayed and sluggish. One character is displayed about every 2 seconds or nothing is displayed for about 20 seconds and then all of the address or search info is displayed all at once. We have tried WIFI &amp; land lines on multiple networks that have proven their ability on other computers. I have tried turning off all add-ons, deleting temp internet files &amp; cookies, defragging the hard drive, performing a full up-to-date Norton scan (no viruses found), and downloading all available/applicable updates. Nothing has helped. Is this a known issue with an easy remedy that I've overlooked? I've spent hours searching the web (on a fully functional XP IE6 laptop) for an answer and have only run across one other similar topic but it didn't award me with a resolution. Please help...she's driving me crazy wanting a fix. Thanks.<BR>JerryFri, 18 Apr 2008 18:37:38 GMTRASsDAD
