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


Recommended Posts

its probably the "Java Plug-In's SSV Helper 2" plugin which delays the start-up of IE8.

Open IE8 -> Goto- Tools->Manage Add-ons-> higlight "Java Plug-In's SSV Helper 2" -> Disable it

Now IE8 starts within a second, no delays in opening tabs either.

wow that actually worked, tabs no longer have that delay for me now.

I found out that if I turn off Kaspersky Anti-virus (tech preview for Win 7) then new tabs open up really fast. Playing around with the settings it turns out it was Kaspersky's "Proactive Defense", I guess it scans every new iexplorer.exe process that is created with each tab. One of the tradeoffs for protection. I hope this gets improved soon.

I just might try AntiVir on Win 7 since I use it on Vista.

i used to have Java installed, however i do not now... so i have no idea what could be causing my delay, the Sun Java Deployment Toolkit was in my list, but considering i didn't even have Java installed, i removed that entry via the registery and assoicated dlls, grr...

i found the solution after someone mentioned it in another thread, and it works.

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 :p

im fairly sure the problem has to do with that list loading 2x + 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

thanks for this - I had a similar problem which was preventing IE8 from displaying my homepage. Once I disabled the "Java Plug-In's SSV Helper 2", IE8 is now functioning normally.

Does any one know what this Java Plug-In's SSV Helper 2 is supposed to do and why it causes problems?

This solution worked for me too and now I have no lag in opening a new tab.

Had the issues since the beginning of IE7, and IE8 carries the issue. I can run this IE8 on Windows Vista that is a fresh install with no AV and can use no add-ons and still this issue of about one second or more for a new tab to appear. My computer is used as a server too, it should not have trouble with it physically. Now with Google Chrome, that opens tabs faster than any browser I have ever used. And Chrome has a task manager assuming the tabs are different processes too, so that can't be why IE8 can't load a tab quick enough.

I am having the same problem with IE8 on Windows 7. The thing is I have been using this Windows 7 install for over a week and did not have the problem, it was quite noticeable when it started. I don't mind the delay in the initial startup, but a delay in opening tabs is just way too annoying. I don't have Spybot or anything similar installed but I will have to check my IE8 addons to see if anything could be causing this. I used to install Firefox as a first step to browsing the internet on a windows OS, but I gave IE8 a chance with Windows 7 and I have been happy with it up until this started, so I am hoping I can find a fix.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
