Looking at those specs you should fly.

What's your browser?

gaahl07 · #73 21st January 2013, 04:02 PM

INTERNET EXPLORER/GOOGLE IF THATS WHAT BROWSER IS.

bdc · #74 21st January 2013, 04:04 PM

So Internet explorer and Google chrome?
When did the problem start?

gaahl07 · #75 21st January 2013, 04:08 PM

No just standard google and problems started few weeks ago maybe even a month. It just seems so slow and should be very quick. Can't play any videos either

bdc · #76 21st January 2013, 04:11 PM

So only internet explorer then.

All sites are loading slow and you can't play videos?
How long have you been using the computer?

gaahl07 · #77 21st January 2013, 04:13 PM

Yes, all sites mega slow and videos a no go. They say that we need to download latest adobe player which I have but doesn't seem to register. Been using computer for 4-5 years I think

Sounds like a problem with internet explorer and Flash player.

Have you ever deleted your temporary files in IE?

gaahl07 · #79 21st January 2013, 04:17 PM

No i haven't as far as I'm aware.

Try deleting them and see if pages load faster.
Don't delete cookies (login info is stored there for certain sites if you need them)

I don't know what your version of IE is but this is how it's done for 9:
