Internet explorer is very slow. It load itself quick but the page loading is very slow like 2 minutes to load a page that has graphic pictures. Google loads normal...not fast just normal. Here is the catch...FIREFOX WORKS LIGHTING FAST....NETSCAPE WORKS FAST IF IT EMULATES FIREFOX/MOZILLA...BUT IF IT EMULATES INTERNET EXPLORER IT IS JUST AS SLOW AND DOES NOT LOAD THE PAGES/IMAGES COMPLETELY. So apparently using the MS Internet Explorer parsing engine is the problem...I don't know how to fix it.
People might say why not just use Firefox....well the web site that I am developing looks good on firefox but it looks like crap on Internet Explorer and I need internet explorer to see how most of the world sees the page.

Things I have tried:

Reset setting on IE.............No Change
Removed IE completely and
Reinstalled IE .................No change
Upgraded to IE7 beta ...........No Change
Scanned for missing
system files....................No Change
Reinstalled Windows
(not clean install).............No Change
Deleted Hosts file............. No Change
Removed Firewall................No change
Ran Adaware Spyware remover.....no change
Ran Search and destroy..........no change
Cleaned the registry............no change.
Ran speedupmypc.................no change.
Updated Java....................no change.
Updated Flash...................no change.
Updated Shockwave...............no change.

Shoot computer w shotgun.........priceless!!

Anyone has any suggestions.
I don't want to do a clean install and find out that it did not fix the problem.

Thanks
Adrian

Your post & what you have done gave me the feeling that you have done just about everything we know under heaven. Maybe it's just the PC that for some unknown reason doesn't like IE.

Is it something to do with 'manage add ons'
You do right click on IE icon and then 'programmes' Then select Manage Add-ons.
Sometimes there are too many items listed that you don't need and sometimes things have installed themselves. Untick the ones you don't want enabled. Don't touch the top one on the list

Downgrade to IE 6 bcoz IE7 Beta has a lot of issues.
Reinstall IE6 by RClick on c:\windows\inf\ie.inf and install and restart system
Check ur router for any firewalls or simply bypass router.
