I've heard this from a few other people. It's some bug or virus that's screwing up people's IE's.

Download Opera (www.opera.com) and ues that. Less prone to things like this.

make sure you don't have "Use Proxy Server" checked in the IE options under 'connection'. This usually causes a long delay as the system is trying to locate the website information from a non-exsistant proxy server.

Try Mozilla 1.4. Its very good.
