When I first fire up my PC, the temporary internet files folder is set to
anything between 9538-30000MB. This appears arbitary and, despite setting it
to 30000MB manually, it appears to change randomly.
After being connected to IE for a time, however, I will suddenly notice a
significant drop in performance and, when I check the internet properties
settings tab I find that the amount of disk space to use has been reset to
zero. No matter what I then type in the adjacent box or however far I move
the slider, I receive an error message informing me that the value must be
between 0 and 1 - effectively preventing me from changing the value.
At this time, closing IE results in the PC hanging for a duration of up to
2-3 minutes. I can, after closing , continue to use the PC without problem
until I need to open a new IE browser at which point it again runs extremely
slowly before hanging again on exit.
I have Norton Antivirus (updated regularly) together with Spyware Blaster
and AdAware installed and I am confident that the problem is not resulting
from an infection (the problem existed prior to a clean reinstallation of XP
Pro and has recurred since).
Can anyone help with this most annoying problem please?
