The problem I am having is that my laptop (running XP home edition) has started loading internet pages slowly. This is weird because it wasn't doing this before. Furthermore, my desktop (running XP Professional) is doing just fine in terms of page loading speed. The desktop has the wireless receiver attached to it. But the laptop is running the internet off the home network. What gives?

Not really enough information for the wise ones (not me the ones who have a
vague idea what they are doing) to reply, but many if not most slowdowns are
malware related, your pc might be loading huge amounts of data and sending
heaps of mail, without your assistance, so the perception is slowdown

We have no idea if this question was intentionally asked to a Microsoft newsgroup, or was just added to your recipients as some of the inane teachers at the U-of-P tell you to do.

If you did not have a question directed to a Microsoft newsgroup, please tell your superiors that they are misusing this site.

If you do have a legitimate question, then you should be asking this one in an Internet Explorer newsgroup, and not an Outlook Express newsgroup.

For Internet Explorer questions not pertaining to Outlook Express, please post to one of the following:

IE6 Specific Newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser

IE General newsgroup, (For IE6 and IE7):
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general
