why do we have so much trouble with mirsoft internet explorer and yahoo is so slow?

What I think is that about 86% people use Internet Explorer as their browser. Due to this their servers get jammed and also most of the hackers attack Internet Explorer.\nThese are the 2 prime problems which I observe.\nMost probably Yahoo does not get slow its the speed of the browser which makes it slow.\nI observed it because I use three browsers at a time.\nSounds funny but its true.\nI use Firefox, Opera and some times for MSN services Internet Explorer.\nSo if u can, change ur browser.

It's not just you, IE7 is full of bugs, use firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ until microsoft sort out all the bugs.

Check the amount of RAM, processor speed and the video card in your system, while everyone so far has been quite correct that network bandwidth is an issue the fact that changing tabs is slow suggests a problem with your machine.\n\nCheck a virus scan or adware scan just to be sure there isn't some huge resource hog. If you find the problems really getting to you you may want to run less programs at once. I don't really want to patronise you with other basic computer things, I'm sure you have the idea :-)

Yahoo has been having technical dificulties for 3 weeks now....if your browser is working it aint your system.

Probably the Yahoo server is a little slow your end and your browser is waiting for it to respond. I don't think Dell are any worse then anyother computer manufacturer.\nReally same sort of parts to any other like for like but just badged different on the box.

Use Firefox instead. Anyone with an educated opinion will tell you that it is far superior to Internet Explorer. \nhttp://www.getfirefox.com/

your internet server is most likely too slow

As between these two, Firefox, without doubt. IE has been, and continues to be, riddled with security problems. So safety goes to Firefox (properly configured). Make sure you've gone through every menu and setting under Tools, and made good choices, before you use it. Poorly configured Firefox is not all that secure. Of course, even optimally configured IE has lots of problems, so there isn't much choice. \n\nOn the faster front, things are less clear. some have reported IE (one version or another) to be faster than Firefox (one version or another). Let's look at some details. Firefox allows you to adjust your settings more easily than IE. And so you can tell Firefox not to download popup or popunder windows (makes things faster, less garbage traffic) and you can tell Firefox not to download images unless you ask (less data unless needed, so faster).  And so on. There's a Firefox extension called FasterFox which automatically loads stuff in the background when you're inactive for a moment, and it can speed things up a good bit. It also requires configuration and probably  experimentation to find the fastest settings in your situation. And there are several other firefox extensions which filter out other detritus and trash and so don;t use the limited bandwidth you have. Things will seem to load faster. So for the faster question, I think it's Firefox, properly configured, and perhaps with the right extensions. \n\nAs for better, if it's safer and faster, where's the doubt?\n\n======\n\ncaveats\n\nMicrosoft is in the midst of rewriting substantial parts of IE, so it is said. if so, the next version of IE may be better than past version have been. But Firefox sets a high standard, so IE has a considerable ways to go. Due out sometime early next year, and only for Windows, naturally.

Use Firefox, it has most of the great features of IE 7 with the familiarity of IE 6, plus more stability, faster web page loading, greater security, and much more. http://www.mozilla.com/

Maybe your ISP has a lot of cache for Yahoo and so is slow\n\nOr maybe the server of Yahoo is busy\nIf you open Yahoo at a frequent time, try changing this time to someother time and see...maybe that would be better, as a lot of people may be accessing the Yahoo Server at that time

Welll, we've got IE7 with no problems.  But what we noted is:  First, the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, etc) does not automatically turn on by default, as it did in prior IE.  You have to turn it on yourself by clicking on Tools, then check Menu Bar; now it will come on automatically.  Second, the Favorites work slightly differently (click on yellow star) and once you get the hang of it, very easy to use.  Third, there is a Print button that is very easy to use.  Fourth, once you get used to the tabs and how to use them, they are a great and very fast feature.  Fifth, you can designate Yahoo as your home page and it comes right up, so I'm not sure how there is interference.  \n\nIf your computer meets all the IE7 requirements, I'd try to download again, from Microsoft Update site.  All of your current IE settings and favorites will automatically be transferred.

IE is a terrible browser.  It has massive security holes and doesn't have a lot of useful features found in other browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Opera.  \n\nThe only advantage it has is marketshare in that if a website is designed to work in it, most people will have no trouble using it (unless you own a Mac or run Linux).  \n\nThe two best free browsers are Opera and Mozilla Firefox.  (See www,Opera.com or www.getfirefox.com to get either).  Both have much better security, tabbed browsing, better password storage and generally load webpages faster.  Firefox is a memory hog, but is extremely customizable with extensions.  I for example, have little extra programs that I added on to it that check my yahoo email accound and my gmail account and alert me to new mail.  I can also unclose tabs, and block ads.  \n\nOpera is much more lightweight and is probably the fastest at loading webpages.  It isn't as customizable and has a much less market share.  But it is very easy to use and is a very nice browser, especially for the non-power user of the internets.  \n\nJust note that some webpages, notibly those that use ActiveX controls like windows update or Panda Active scan will not work in Firefox or Opera, although Firefox has an extension called IE Tab that will let you open an internet explorer window in a tab.

Use firefox or opera for browsing. extensions for either can make life much easier and save time. session saving, integrated rss feeds, and keyboard shortcuts are the best.

I'm guessing its not Yahoo!, it's your internet browser. It may not send the right information when you try to foward or reply. Try downloading IE 7 Beta at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/ie7betaredirect.mspx or Mozilla Firefox at http://www.mozilla.com\n\nHope this works!

Yup!\n     So many ways...... but depends upon your connection type if from modem then it's always slow.... in Comparision to others.... So varies\n \n-------- HOWEVER ONE THING IS COMMON FOR SLOW PROBLEM THAT INTERNET EXPLORER CACHES VISITED PAGE AND LOADS... THEM SO ALLL THE VISITED PAGES ARE RECORDED.... SO QUITE SLOW.... DUE TO THIS SO DELETE ALL HISTORY... GOING TO TOOLS AND INTERNET OPTIONS FROM INTERNET EXPLORER\n\nTHAT WON'T REMOVE TOTALLY.... SO DELETE IT FROM INTERNET OPTIONS.... FROM CONTROL PANNEL...... SO IF U DO THIS..... THEN IT'LL BE QUITE FAST THEN PREVIOUS ONE!...

I hate to say this, but chances are it's because it's Internet Explorer. It's poorly programmed and has always been insecure and have poor functioning.\n\nIf you enjoy tabbed browsing, I would download FireFox and uninstall Internet Explorer. Firefox always works.
