I shall be trying this for my FF. I don't like to mess with reg keys as sometimes you can mess things up (ask me how I know...)

Edit to add: there is no sarcasm intended for the first sentence.
Also, is the general consensus that the fix for FF in the settings better than the fasterfox extension? Which should I use/get?

Cheers guys!
The Reg fix is for IE only. FF needs the fasterfox or go in by hand. If you use FF, try the extension.

Laptop: Does the fan seem to be on high more often? I am dealing with a laptop at the moment, that reacts like yours. If the slow down is fairly recent, there is a small chance you have the 'oops patch' from Microsoft. They screwed up another update recently, but not every computer is having problems. The laptop I am dealing with is getting better, but more stuff has to be done tomorrow. Too tired tonight.
