15168 2001-07-07 05:41:00 I'm running IE5.5 on Win98SE and it regularily pauses during browsing. I can still download email with Eudora, use ICQ or Download with GoZilla during these pauses. I have defragged my hard drive many times, run Norton Utils (not found anything significant). It gets rather annoying being half way through loading a page, then having to wait for up to 1 minute for the download to resume. I have noticed that when IE 5.5 is pausing, if you try and fill in a 'field' on a page, the entry is very slow to respond. I've even used the update feature of MS to see if I need to install any patches and that hasn't resolved the issue either.

Any advice appreciated.

I get the same..
I think it's to do with your ISP or being Dialup, not IE.

15170 2001-07-07 23:58:00 I've got same software, have checked everything and have the same problem. I use Ultra 30 (IHUG) and am wondering if it has to do with this download system - which up to a fortnight ago was behaving brilliantly. I've emailed IHUG and await their reply with interest!

15171 2001-07-13 00:14:00 Hey I've just installed Netscape 6 from the PCWorld CD. Although it appears to run slightly slower than IE5.5, I haven't experienced the long pauses I was getting.

I'll keep trialling this software for a few days before I decide to keep it.

I use Paradise.net for my ISP, has anyone else experienced simmilar problems with them?
