Firstly, I admit I mostly use x64 Ff variant Firefox because of Ff's simple customization but occasionally use IE. I have a very fast system that I built shortly after the Ivy Bridge CPUs were released (3750K) and my download speed regularly tests
at 20mbps...but! This all started (or when I noticed) after installing IE 10 on this x64 W7 machine. IE 10 would not even launch from cmd prompt. My cursor would blink and that was it. So I uninstalled it but IE 9 mostly is sooooo slow.
I'll reset or run "Fix It" and it might work once and then back to the same behavior. The reason I have to call it bizarre is I just tried it and it worked fine. One hour ago it took a duration for anything to load. The other thing
is I don't think x64 IE 9 ever worked, exhibiting the same behavior as 10 did. I say this because there was a separate shorcut for it and it would not open. I'm assuming when IE is even running slow it's x32. I suspect if I close Cf now and
tried to run IE it would again be almost not even functional. Sorry for the vent but would appreciate any suggestions to make IE 9 stable!
