LiGhTfast Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi all, loving vista not even bothered going back onto xp for a few days now only nagging thing is the mega slow internet browsing with IE7, front page of neowin takes about 30seconds to load. Firefox is alot faster but when u open a few tabs the whole thing grinds to a halt like im on 56k again using nforce2 motherboard with onboard ethernet, not sure if thats causing it or some other bug?

Hiiragi Tsukasa Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 That's odd. I download websites at regular speed as so with downloads. Did you guys have to install your network drivers or did they work out of the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someguy03 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I had to install my Nforce 2 ethernet card using the Nvidia Beta drivers. My mobo also comes with a Gigabit ethernet card, and that was slow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollatyou Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Same prob here and I got 1GB Ram 586333549[/snapback] have you guys try to check out the cpu usage or preccesses when you guys having this problem? i am thinking it might be the indexing slowing down ur computers......i have few tabs open and d.ling in full speed with no problem though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I think it has something to do with the phishing filter. The page loads after the information about phishing is retrieved from Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropcircles Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Installed programs, drivers? Do a comparison. No audio driver installed here but surfing significantly faster on Vista then XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremer Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I hope someone has a resolution, but what it is weird to me is that is it is just the FIRST PAGE of that domain, not the rest of the site, it just happens to the FIRST page :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviesbad04 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I believe its the phishing option, disable it and see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daviesbad04 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Tools>Internet Options>Advanced (Then scroll down and near the end youll see an option for Phishing)>Choose :Turn Off Phishing Filter: Then close all IE windows, and run IE again.

LUTZIFER Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Phishing filter doesn't slow anything down with IE 7 on XP. Must be some compatibility issues with Vista, being a beta I guess. That's sure gotta suck anyways, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremer Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Oka, Well i tried that, I found nothing at all about what you said, I looked about 5times and i found nothing in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
child998 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Had slow browsing but downloads were going at full speed. I did a low level format and its ok now. But I actually think the problem was my display drivers. I don?t have them installed at the moment; I?m just using the default drivers that Vista has. I would say people try uninstalling your display drivers, then run the net again. See if that helps. I cant think of anything I had different.

extremer Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Oka, I just figured out something, I just turned off the windows firewall, which boosted my browsing speeds by a mile! I am happy right now, so anyone else who is having problems with the browsing speeds, try shutting off your windows firewall. Thanks Ex! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limok Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 you cant shut off firewall the icon is still showing on network connections when you do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
