IT Experts! HELP!!!!
About 3/4ths of the time, when i post here on a DU forum, it posts 3 times! I've rebooted. I've restarted the browser. I can't figure out why it's happening.

Any ideas for things i should check to stop this? It's getting really annoying. (And i'm an expert on annoying. Nobody is more annoying than me!)

8. What is your RAM?
Your system might be slowing because it is running out of memory? When you close a browser session, does it close slowly?

In that case, you might think about adding another memory chip or simply closing and reopening the session every hour or so.

9. Have you checked for spyware?
They can slow your system down.

12. Here's a link to a good, free spyware cleaner -
http://www.ewido.net/en/

Download and update this, then run a complete system scan.

Also, think about switching to Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Clean out your temp files and internet cache - if you're not familiar with this, use Windows system tools, disk cleanup (start->programs->accessories->systems tools->disk cleanup
