Applies to IE 7.0

Sometimes when you are visiting a web page then it opens very slow and finally when it opens up it just displays text but no graphics. This happens when the keepalive-time out expires. The reason can be a slow server or a slow internet connection. The easiest way to solve this problem is to try again later. But if you like you can adjust the keepalive - timeout parameters. Microsoft has an article on how to do this

It is tested for IE 7.0 but I have not seen any testing for newer versions yet.

Applies to IE 8.0 and earlier

Somtimes you experience that IE asks for username and password. This can be annoyng. You can do the following to prevent this:

Goto - tools - internet options - security - internet - custom level… -  scroll down to user authentication - select anonymous logon - click on ok

Applies to IE 8.0 and earlier versions

Somtimes your IE shows old infirmation and doesn’t follow up when a webpage is changed.

The fix:

 Go to tools - Internet options - in Browsing History click on delete… -  select temporary internet files and deselect anything below - click on ok.

This will delete old cache in your browser and IE will be forced to get the new information from the web page.
