Menus open slowly after boot up
Running WindowsMe and IE6Sp2.
I recently did some old program file removal, ran scan disk (no errors) and defraged my hard drive. Now after initial boot up (everything loads OK), I noticed that upon clicking the Start button it takes 2-5 seconds to display the start menu, and upon opening the Windows Explorer, it takes 2-5 seconds to display all the folders. After one or two rounds of this, everything opens as quickly as it normally use to and is fine until shut down and a new boot up ... Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to repair? Thanks in advance. |

Firstly - there is NO IE6SP2 for Win ME - it's either IE6SP1, or IE5.5SP2 -
which is yours? Try a repair of IE Reboot to Safe Mode Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet Explorer from there. Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools' in Add/Remove Programs Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window that pops up Reboot on request to Normal Mode If the above entry isn't there, you first need to uninstall all the patches applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the names 'Internet Explorer Qxxxxxx' highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested. Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair as above.
