Hello,
I am having trouble with my Internet explorer.It is doing some very odd things.Sometimes it will completely close the page i am visiting for no reason or it will be very slow loading pages and when i say slow i mean very very very slow for eg i tried to google something and after 10 minutes of the page trying to load i gave up.I thought that it was perhaps the topic i was searching so i tried putting in random things to see if that made any difference but it didn't.Another problem i had was when i was on a forum and clicked on a link and nothing happened i tried to open a new tab and that wouldn't work either and it would let me access any options that are in my tools menu.i had to restart my computer.Just to let you know i have high speed Internet connection.Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me with this problem.

Hi HelenHorbik

Welcome to our community. I have reviewed your post and think you might want to try running a virus scan and also a spyware scan. For a virus scan I recommend AVG. Its a very good program and very easy to use. For spy/adware I would recommend Lavasoft Adware. As with AVG, adware is very easy to use. Here is a link to both applications.

AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
Adware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Try running both programs and see if that helps.

I agree with Johnny that you should use scan your computer for viruses.

Also, try using Firefox or a different browser to see if you get the same results as IE.

Well let us know what the results were after you scanned your computer.

It also might be your connection. It could be that you need to repair your Ethernet card. Also, besides AVG you can get Avast! as well (http://www.avast.com).
