Hi im new to this forum, my computer is running fast but for some reason recently its taking a very long time for the web pages to load up, it starts up quick and everything but i think it might be something ive done, it might be something simple, i recently cut out stuff from the STARTUP menu so its quicker on loading and ive done disck defrag and cleanup and all that, can someone tell me if ive deleted something or what to look for, im running AOL, it was ok before but was running a little slower than normal, its running fast now it just the web pages wont fire up and when i click on a link again it takes a long time, the blue bar does not load at all then suddenly about a minute or so later it loads really quickly, thankyou Donna:)

are you running AOL software? because it is completely unnecessary, theres no reason for it to be there at all, just slows your system down.

aol appears fast because it stores a lot of its content in your temporary folders, so when you open a web page, its actually loading from your computer. when you ran system cleanup, you flushed all the stored info in the temp folders, so now your browser has to retrieve fresh copies.
