slow hotmail in IE 6.0

[mitaiwan82]

Anytime I log into Hotmail, the IE window would freeze up for around 10 seconds, and then only after that time can I use my email. Only the IE window with Hotmail will do this, while all the other IE windows are functioning perfectly. I have not yet to experience this on any other site. Any help would be appreciated

I don't use my Hotmail very much . . . but I have observed that more and more people are. As that happens, it can get clogged up as queuing takes place. Have you noticed it as being moreso at specific times? I find everything on the Internet starts to slow down during the noon hour and when school is let out in the afternoon. Sort of like rush hour on the freeways.

Hotmail is "free" and sometimes that equates to slow because of loading all the ads and pop-ups.

oh no this is not a connectivity problem...it's a browser/hotmail website issue just on this specific computer. I used Hotmail on my other desktop and laptop and it worked just fine at anytime.

How do I reinstall IE 6 so maybe i can solve this problem?

Is this a slow machine?

XNice:

I was talking about Internet Explorer (IE) and not Outlook Express (OE)....I only have this problem on this specific computer i'm using.

No it's not a slow computer by current standards (or at least i don't think ) Athlon XP 1800+, Soyo Dragon+, 512MB DDR, IBM 40GXP, GF2 Pro, audigy, etc...
