Running Windows XP Home SP3 fully updated with Windows Update, IE8, Norton Internet Security 2012.
When I load some websites, part of the website loads, then I get "IE Not Responding" with white square at top left of window, then the rest of the website loads after a few seconds.
What is the cause of this and how can it be corrected.
It very well could be the site.... Does the same thing happen at the same site?
And or - not zapping temp internet files could help if you visit the site often.
Usually happens with sites with large pages such as this one. It's like the download stops for a short while and the resumes.
Clearing temp internet files makes no difference.
PinguJohn--It seems the website is loading data from different sources and one or more sources is slower than the others.
Is the white square always loading one particular content like ads, images, etc. or different content each time? Is this happening on many different sites or just one or a few?
Click the white square area then Properties. The "Address" line should tell you the source of the white square area content.
Anything in Event Viewer?
It happens on a number of different sites, a good example is Tech Support Forum (http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/) which takes an age to load completely.
Clicking the white square does not bring up Properties.
As far as I can tell, white square seems to appear, or downloading stops for a while, when loading pictures.
Nothing in Event Viewer.
They did something to thier Skin,it makes my browser crash now as well as others having issues as well... (If logged in)
I found a way around it by using the other skin they have.. (They have not messed up that one and I hope they dont)
The thread on it: http://www.techsupportforum.com/foru...878&styleid=11
Sorry Dude111, but I do not know what you mean by Skin.
Are you referring to the Tech Support Forum site, because if so I only used this site as an example of a site where the problem I have occurs. It happens on a number of different sites.
Try resetting IE. Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Reset ... > select "Delete personal settings" > Reset
PinguJohn--In my post above "Click the white square area then Properties" should read "RIGHT click the white square and then Properties".
Welshjim, the white square I mean is in the blue area at the top of the screen, it is at the far left. If I right click it, I get (Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, Close) no Properties.
HWen you logo9n to techsupportforums goto your CONTROL PANEL and select the other skin (v1) that should be OK for you as it is me :)Quote:

Make sure to select "TSF - V1.0" and then click save :)
Good luck!
Should I create a system restore point before resetting IE in case something goes wrong?Quote:

PinguJohn--The items you describe when you right click at the top left are those I get when I right click the IE "E" in the title bar.
Is that where that white/blue square appears? That is outside the IE active window. No data is usually delivered there when you open a browser site page. Does the square finally display data if you wait long enough.
Can you post a screen shot?
This cannot hurt, but I am starting to wonder if this is an IE problem

Do set a System Restore point before using.
Welshjim, here is a screen shot showing the white square that I am talking about at top left of the screen in the blue area.

If I wait long enough the web page usually loads, but sometimes this can take a couple of minutes.
Will read your link and let you know How I get on.
This is what you are talking about? The square in front of the word Internet in the Title Bar?

When I loaded that page it took forever for some stupid, totally unrelated San Fransisco IDT news video over on the right side to load and start playing (loudly).

Where that white rectangle is, is where IE's blue "E" icon is supposed to be.
Train and SpywareDr, yes that is correct and sometimes after the title I get (IE Not Responding)
That video garbage that SpywareDr brought our attention, is site killer alright.
http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/* in the restricted sites might help.
Try going to the link I posted buddy and see if its better (It will put you on the BETTER skin)
www.techsupportforum.com/forums??styleid=11
If this IS BETTER FOR YOU ALSO,you need to login and change your default skin to "TSF - V1.0" (It automatically goes to 2.0 unless you set it)
Progress so far:
Ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.61 - No malicious items detected
Ran the Repair IE8 script ie8-rereg.cmd
Reset IE8 Settings (With Delete Personal Settings)
This has made a small difference and speeded up the loading of web pages but I still get the problem with web pages that contain a large number of items and images although the delay is not as long as it was.
What's your download speed?
http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Used New York as location
Download Speed 4.89 Mbps
Upload Speed 0.66 Mbps
That should be fine. The site itself is a bit laggy, at least right now it is. This page:took their server almost 10 seconds to assemble and display. (I was about to give up).
Another slow down is the really annoying, noisy video ads. (Dude!, I'm trying to read. Better yet, buh-bye. :( :)).

Is it just IE that's slow? In other words, does the same site perform any better in a different browser?
5 seconds for the site to come up in FF and I killed that noisy garbage.
Servers are slow and found a few other sites today where slow too.
After extensive reading and running the TCP/IP Analyzer on speedguide.net, I have made the following changes:-
Set MTU To 1492 On Router
Set MTU To 1492 On Computer
Set ProtocolMTU To 1480 In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NdisWan\Parameters\Protocols\0
Set RWIN To 60984
Set TcpWindowSize To 121968 In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Set GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize To 400000 In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Set Max Number Of Simultaneous HTTP 1.0 Connections To 8
Set Max Number Of Simultaneous HTTP 1.1 Connections To 4
The result is a much faster loading of web pages.
Thanks for the update.
Yes that definetly helps doesnt it??
I have DR. TCP and nothing is in the MTU box so it must use the default MTU setting and for my RWIN i have had it set to 64240 for awhile now.......
I also have my MAX CONNECTIONS set to 48 (That helps also)
Im glad ya got things working BETTER my friend,thanx for the update!
Hi Dude111
When you say "I also have my MAX CONNECTIONS set to 48 (That helps also)" do you mean you have set both MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionsPerServer to decimal 48 in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Yup thats what I mean yes :)
