- IE7 Tab opening slow......
- Posted by Sundance on May 2nd, 2008
Whenever I open IE7 or open a new tab it takes about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes for
the web page to open. During this time, I can't access IE menu options or
close the tab. I can switch to another tab and it works fine. Something is
going on to freeze the tab that is trying to open and I can't figure it out.
Any ideas?

X-post to IE General
=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:
1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;
or
2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).
Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

=> Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!
=> What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running when you installed IE7?

It works fine with add-ons disabled. Thanks, PA Bear, I'll have to find out
which add-on is causing the problem. You may have saved my sanity, if it's
still there.

YW. Let us know what you discover.

The Google Toolbar was causing the problem. I didn't suspect that because
I've had it a long time. But, it was updated about six weeks ago and that's
about the time the problem started. I liked the Google Toolbar but I can't
stand the delay. Oh well.

Assuming you've uninstalled Google Toolbar now, you might try reinstalling
using the current installer. If the behavior returns, Google Toolbar may be
conflicting with another toolbar (e.g., Yahoo; Windows Live); if so, choose
one (1) and uninstall the others via Add/Remove Programs.
