Specs:

RAM: 1024m Recently Upgraded

Here is a good guide to follow:

First run CCleaner, and clean out all your temp files (junk)

If you haven't got Internet Explorer 7, please download and install it

Inside Internet Explorer click on "Tools" on the toolbar
(Note: in IE7, you may need to press ALT on the keyboard to see the IE toolbar)

After clicking on "Tools" click on "Internet Options"

• The first window you are presented with will be the "General" tab settings
• Inside the "General" tab you can select "Delete..."
• The next popup window will ask you what to delete.
• You can select one button at a time, or "Delete all", answering Yes

Once this is completed (and it may take some time to do) Continue on:

Still in the General Tab

• Click on "Settings" (next to Delete)
• Change the "Disk space to use" to 65
• Select OK

Now, go to the Security tab

• Click on "Custom Level"
• Click on "Reset"
• Click on "OK"

Now go to the Privacy tab

• What I do in here, is move the vertical slider slighty up or down
• This allows "Default" to highlight
• Click on "Default" (the slider will come back down)
• Click on Apply

At last go to the Advanced tab

• Click on "Restore advanced settings" (a bad way of saying default)
• Also if you scroll down the list, you will find "Phishing Filter" (I usually disable this annoying popup)
• Click on Apply
• Click on OK

Restart Internet Explorer
