I don't know if this is just an annoying "feature" of IE7 or if there's a
problem. Probably easier to explain with an example.

I have 3 tabs open A, B and C. I'm veiwing tab B which I then close. IE7
immediately displays tab C which is fine. However if when I close B, I then
straight away click on tab A, there's a 1-2 second delay before it's
displayed. Also if, in the same example, I'm viewing tab C, when I close it,
tab B is immediately displayed....no delay.

I run XP Pro SP2 fully patched, on AMD x64 4800 CPU with 2Gb ram and 2x
nVidia 7900GTX cards, so I can't believe it has anything to do with system
resources. I've tried turning hte pop-up blocker and anti phishing filter on
and off but that made no difference.

Anyone got any ideas please
Malcolm

Windows version?

Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;

2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

Thanks for responding so quickly

I'm using Windows V5.1 (build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254:Service Pack 2)

Tried both of your suggestions, unfortunately the issue still remains

1. If you've got Yahoo Companion toolbar installed, uninstall it via
Add/Remove Programs and see if the behavior persists.

2. If no joy, you may have a horked install of IE7. I suggest that you...

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

2. Uninstall all other toolbars

3. Reinstall IE7 per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install,
and using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled IE7 following all the instructions and the
problem persists. I guess it's something I will just have to live with

Thanks for help

Assuming you uninstalled all toolbar before reinstalling...

Uninstall IE7 again (per http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html), going back to
IE6. Use IE6 for a few days and see if you're having any problems in that
environment. If so, something else is wrong. IOW it's not IE itself.
