Win Xp Sp1 + IE6 SP1
Internet Explorer starts the day fine, but by lunchtime, it's running
*really* slowly. Reboot, and all's OK again for a while. Any ideas please?
I'm tearing the rest of my hair out!!!

(I'm running Outlook and Word as well - no memory leaks)

The same thing happened to me after I installed the
recommended software upgrades to Win 2K and the browser.

Today I installed Netscape 7.1 just to see if that made a
difference - I figured this would help me determine if it's
the browser update or the OS update at fault. It's the
browser - my performance with Netscape is as good or better
than I ever had with IE.

But I had a very pleasant surprise - Netscape 7.1 was quick
& painless to install, and it works with my IE settings and
all of my favorites! I hadn't planned to switch browsers
because I thought it would be a huge hassle, but it took no
more than 20 minutes & was as easy as could be! Why would
I go back? Maybe I'll find a reason as I keep using it but
for now I think my problem has been solved!
