Delayed Response after Closing IE

When I close my last Internet Explorer window and click on another
program icon (or the Start Menu), the hour glass sits there for almost
a minute and one-half (80 seconds) before the requested program
starts. I am running a Pentium 233 MHz with 128 Meg of Ram. Is there a
setting in Internet Options or elsewhere that I can use to try to fix
this delay?

1. I suggest you re-post this question, and most others, to the
Win98.Gen_Discussion group. It's much better attended.

2. IE is having a hard time unloading. First do a formal malware scan or ten
(see http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm), then run IE Repair.

I will follow both of your suggestions. Thank you, Gary!
