Bozo77 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 having a problem of super slow loading of links & programs with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Have Comcast Blast (receiving 85-95 Mbps) but it takes forever to get things to load. Any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgthamm Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) This could be many things; however, one thing I have found in common with many of my clients who complain that browsing is slow, is Flash Player. Go to http://www.adobe.com , and download and install the most recent version of Flash Player. Edited February 1, 2016 by cgthamm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xable Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Indeed there are myriad of possible causes here. Because you say programs are also running slow I'd lean towards virus/malware or a failing hard drive. Also try checking your HDDs health and running a virus/malware scan.

Bozo77 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry I took so long to get to them as I got side tracked by a hospital stay. I have scanned for both viruses and malware numerous times and came up with nothing. I did replace my hard drive too as I also suspected that could be the cause...nothing! I'm starting to lean towards my cable modem, wireless router or even Comcast's cable drop as it's not only my computer but also my wife's that is loading so slow. Even my laptop is acting the same way. Any thoughts along this line? I welcome all ideas as I'm running out of my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Change DNS servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosty Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 To which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgthamm Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Although it won't improve your DNS lookup speed, you could always test with public DNS servers, such as Google's: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - cgthamm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
