Make IE8 Run Faster

[ChrisUlrich]

Microsoft has recently released the new browser Internet Explorer version 8 and IE 8 has won the hearts of many people with its new features. I must admit I also have been using Firefox before that primarily because of all the features were better in Firefox along with its addons.

Internet Explorer 8 has good list of features as mentioned earlier and also has more speed than its earlier version IE7. IE8 is facing stiff competition with other browsers like Mozilla Firefox.But Microsoft has taken tremendous amount of effort to bring the standards in IE8 as they have been trying with Windows 7 also.

IE8 is indeed faster than Firefox but its too hard to notice the difference. So the browsing speed of IE8 has undergone some major changes and yet with a simple changes you can increase the speed even better.

So, to increase your IE8 speed much more:-

1. Go to Start > Run

2. Open the command prompt with admin rights (type cmd in Run).

3. Type the following command

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

4. The following message will come up:

5. Now just restart your system and see the difference..

I am a seven user and Windows 7 is faster then xp or vista, so maybe you do not have to try it.

I get this error message

The module "actprxy.dll" failed to load.

Make sure the binary is stored at the specific path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.

This error message is coming because the actprxy.dll has been corrupted(most probably). So try to download that specific file and then your problem will get resolved.

Ignore this. You just spelled it rong, the correct command is "regsvr32 actxprxy.dll" You just missed the X before prxy

Microsoft lost me forever at IE6 when I switched to Firefox. I can't image going back. That's like searching on Yahoo instead of Google.
