In no particular order, here are a few things to try:1. These two registry key changes will make web pages display slightly quicker as the number of simultaneous downloads is increased. Create a system restore point before making the changes.In a Run window (Windows key+R), type regedit, press Enter and in the left pane navigate toHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings Look for two keys in the right pane, MaxConnectionsPerServer and MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server. If they exist, then right-click on each in turn and Modify the value to decimal 10 (hex a).If the strings don't exist in the right pane, they will need to be added manually. To add them, right-click in the white space in the right pane, select New > DWORD Value, type the first name as the string name, press Enter and then repeat the procedure for the second one. Now modify the values to decimal 10 (hex a). As the registry key is a CURRENT_USER one, the change needs to be done for each user of the computer.2. Turn off 'RSS Feeds' by going to Internet Options > Content Tab > Feeds and Web Slices > Settings and uncheck Automatically check feeds for updates.3. Run Internet Explorer with no add-ons, i.e. click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). If the issue doesn’t occur, it must be caused by an add-on, so go to IE > Tools > Manage add-ons and disable any unnecessary add-ons.4. Reregister a dll, i.e. in a Run window (Windows key+R), type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll (note the space) and press Enter.5. Boot the computer to Safe Mode, i.e. start tapping F8 when you switch on, then choose Safe Mode with Networking and check if it runs faster.6. Temporarily disable your firewall and anti programs and check if it is any faster.7. If you’re on a network, are the other computers just as slow?
