why is there a 2sec delay when opening tabs and IE8 itself?


Recommended Posts

been going through addons, disabling what i saw fit, still get a 2sec delay on everything from opening IE to opening multiple tabs (i see connecting... for two seconds and then things are fine) even disabled that 'tab page' so that it would open blank... gah

kind of annoying, never saw this under my previous IE7 install :p

vista sp1 32bit

update:

i found the solution after someone mentioned it in another thread, and it works (for myself anyway)

To remove all sites added by Spybot's Immunize:

1. open regedit

2. go to this key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap

3. delete the following sub-folders: Domains, EscDomains, Ranges

4. go to this key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P

5. delete the sub-folder History

also, do the same for hk local machine, now IE8 opens instantly and yes, i have spybot installed, but even if you don't now (or use a program that does the same things) but had previously settings could still be in place, love that feeling when your PC is working the way you expect again tongue.gif

im fairly sure the problem has to do with that list loading during startup of the app, kind of like how adblock plus (with huge block lists) delays firefox load time, or not loading these lists the same way IE7 had

*also some addons may cause delay, so be sure to disable all non-MS addons too, sift through and disable them, determine which one also might cause a delay

Because IE8 blows the goats. :p

I dunno.... it seems with every version, IE gets more complicated, and thus runs much less smoothly..... The last version I really thought ran WELL was IE6.

well, IE7 for me was fine as an alt browser, but... never had the delay and if i did, a add-on was usually the cause, i noticed others had this issue so i'm just wondering what is UP, hopefully MS pushes an update to fix this

other than this little quirk, IE8 is pretty fast browsing etc

I completely removed it off of Win 7 Build 7057.

hmm, i have zero third party addons for IE, and no i don't use IE7Pro, besides maybe Google Search? if that can be considered an addon, either way... everything that isn't from MS is disabled, which would be only Quicktime from a Quicktime for VCP install

either way, running IE8 via the 'Internet Explorer (No-Addons)' option under accessories/system tools, same result, 2 sec delay

AVG8, i've had it installed awhile, zero delays with any other program or browser (even when IE7 was installed), but also my resident shield is disabled...

oh well, though IE looks good, the 2 second delay starting and opening tabs makes it unuseable

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
