uninstalled aol, ran registry clean up, modified just about everything everyone told me to do and IE STILL wont open images like gifs and jpgs. wont even run some java stuff. im at my wits end.

ok, to the winsock question, walk me through what i would be looking for and what i would do when i found it

ok , lets say i dont have my xp cd, what would i do then? and how do i empty my cache?

ok, i changed my settings over to what you reccomended using cablenut, now everything is faster and IE still wont open images and still is the slowest of the bunch. does anybody know why IE wont open the images?

ok guys, just uninstalled aol and guess what. no change! Now its obvious that this is an IE problem. I went into my registry and uninstalled IE and then reinstalled it from the website. Still, no change. On cable-modem.net, i run their speed test and with aol, and netscape, i was running high 290's ...

honestly, ive been using a few test sites to determine my download speeds, but the speed decrease is actually noticable when i open pages also. additionally , most of the images on IE wont open (i just get boxes with little red X's on them) and cant be opened without manually right clicking and ...

First of all, i would like to thank reader, I appreciate your candor. I installed the new version of netscape (7) and it works perfectly. only draw back is i still dont get the same speed (when dling a file) that aol was affording me, but i can always sign on if i have a big file to download. i like ...

i meant to say that internet explorer should be kept on the computer (?)

so what youre telling me is this:

AOL, the only browser on my computer that gets good speed (refer to top post) should be taken off the computer

Internet Explorer, which goes really slow, and wont open images on websites, should be scrapped?

IM confused. why would i ditch the only program i ...

OK, i get it, thats a pretty good one, but that doesnt help my problem. I cant stand having to log on to aol when i want great speed. I know other people get great speed using just internet explorer, and obviously i have a decent connection, so why doesnt mine work? Is my explorer on the fritz? Are ...
