Yes, after I defraged C:, then I went and did the disk error checking. It took a long time to do. No errors where found. Thanks for the help.

I downloaded IE8 last night via WU.
I find no loss of speed when I click the icon on the desktop.
I'm happy I kept my fav's and the search providers. It's only been 12hrs so we'll see

Using IE8 for a month now and no problems so far. Much faster than IE7 that came installed with my Vista x64. I seem to gravitate over to Firefox more than using IE8 as of late. Noticed that IE8 picks up more tracking cookies when I do a Avira HD scan than Firefox. Also when I use CCleaner, it picks up a lot more IE8 files than it does when I just use Firefox and run the cleaner.

My 2 cents...

Hi, do I have defrag issues if IE8 is the only slow software on my computer? Everything else runs well.
