Running win2k professional, using I.E 5.5 sp2 .
Pentium II .
when i open up my (IE)browser, it seems to delay for 30-60 seconds then it opens completly.
whilst i clicked on the tab File>New>Window
it also paused for around a minute or so then it opens.

OS not running any other applications.
Tried upgrade I.E 6 but no avail

Even though you have no appearant apps running check your services and see if any are eating up CPU time!

I also had this issue and found that I had an uneccessary services running that was downgrading my performance

If this is the only application that is doing this then remove the application reboot then reinstall the application. If other apps are slow starting up then I would check to ensure that you do not have a virus or have apps running in the backround. If your system tray is full of icons they are running and eating up system resources.

Best thing to do is first check to see what system resources are free after a boot. Then open IE and see what the system resources are at. If you are running below 80% after opening just IE then you should remove items from the system boot up. Todo this go to start/run and type in msconfig. In the new window select the startup tab and uncheck what is not necessary to the maintenance of the system. This is the only way to ensure that unnecessary tsrs open with the system boot. Remove items also from the startup folder in the programs menu for start before rebooting.

Doesnt really sound like a resource problem. Sounds like youre running to find a DNS host or something. Are you running this at home or at work on a lan connection? Check Network Properties to see if you're setup for a bad dns server maybe. I dunno wortha try....

What is your home page. If that is a slow server, it will take a long time.

You said that you are on LAN (I assume that in your LAN exist a proxy server). Try to change settings as follow in :Internet options\conections\Lan settings:
-disable:
automatically detect settings
use automatic configuration script
-enable bothoptions in proxy server and enter the Server IP in address field and the number of port used.
