Just recently when using IE as a search engine, it takes ages for it to
respond and when it eventually does load, I get this message:

"Bad Gateway,

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server"

Is there something wrong with IE or is it my end and how can I put this
right?

Should you be using a proxy, or do you normally connect directly to the
internet?
In IE do Tools-Internet Options-Connections-LAN settings and see if Proxy
server is checked. If it is, uncheck it and see if that helps.

I had a look and it is already unchecked so it is not that. Have you any
more ideas?

Thanks for trying though and your response Gordon.

I don't know if this helps but I have a Dell laptop with a 2 GB hard drive
and I am running Windows Vista OS with addition of SP 1.

See if anything here helps:

Thanks Gordon, I looked at the URL you sent and read the various
explanations and possible remedies but I delved further into this and had
some interesting responses from some of the gurus I know.

Apparently it is all to do with the new IE 8 update that has been introduced
to Windows lately and IE 7 is suffering because of this and therefore not
working properly.

I was advised to hang on before letting the new IE 8 update take effect as
apparently there are loads of problems with it and in one of these
newsgroups (not sure which one it is, must be one about IE somewhere) there
are lots of complaints by users where it has slowed their computer's down or
even mucked them up completely!

I was advised to find the update, uncheck it and then hide it and wait until
all the problems with IE are sorted out.

Once they have got their act together, you can easily find it again and then
install it.

Glad you've (temporarily) sorted it. I have to say that on this machine
(Toshiba Satellite L40 Dual core T2330 1.6 GHz processors with 2GB RAM and
Vista Home Premium), there seems to be no problems either performance-wise
or other, with IE8...
