Answer 3

If Internet Explorer is not working there could be numerous problems, just like with any unresponsive application. Without knowing anything about a person's PC model, OS, and/or daily activities it would be nearly impossible to diagnose the problem. Like: "Does it crash as soon as it opens?", "Does it freeze and hang up?", "Does it crash when you try to watch a video?", "Will it even open?".

Here are some things you can do to help getting IE running again in some different instances of issue from Microsoft's website.

If Internet Explorer doesn't open at all, or if it crashes immediately after opening, the problem could be low memory, or a damaged or missing system file. Try:

1. Restart The Computer: This will clear the memory.
2. Install the latest updates: Replace the out-of-date file, update drivers, and fix vulnerabilities.
3. Try turning Internet Explorer off then back on.

If Internet Explorer let's you use it but then either crashes, freezes, or hangs try:

1. Install the latest updates: Replace the out-of-date file, update drivers, and fix vulnerabilities.
2. Try running the Internet Explorer Performance Troubleshooter.
3. Turn off hardware acceleration.
4. Turn off add-ons: Disable the apps that are installed to Internet Explorer.
5. Reset Internet Explorer's settings to default.

If Internet Explorer crashes when you try to watch a video try installing Java.

Answer 4

It isn't if you are willing to try the newest incarnation. speed is on par with Google chrome. however , add-ons are not keeping up with the rapid pace of development.If you really want speed you have to go with the developers route Firefox 8.0a1 is blazing fast and I have found it to be quite stable even in it's alpha phase.

Heavy traffic from your network or the ISP during peak hours. Surf off hours or get everyone off your network. If still slow, call your ISP.
