Does anyone know why my IE6 runs so slow on my windows XP
home edition. Currently if I go to some web pages using
my XP system it can take as mush a 3 mintues to download
the page (Using DSL). If I use my Windows 2000 system and
the same DSL connection and go to the same web page it
takes only seconds to download. I can not figure out why
and have tried everything to get it to go faster. Some
page are just fine though

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
