www.webpage.jhtml opens very very slow in WinXP

[JamesNash]

Hi all, I have a Windows 2000 machine and a Windows XP, both are up to date, yet when I try going to a webpage like

http://www.whitepages.com.au

using Windows XP it takes ages... When i'm using Windows 2000 it's quick as lightning? any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

James.

Is it just that one site or many sites or all sites?

Clear out your Temporary Internet Files and then retry.

OK it is all XP machines but is it just that one site causing problems (might be quicker to use the telephone book)?

Are we at SP2?

Although these mention Secure sites the troubleshooting tips are pretty general.

hey linney, yes all of the machines i tried are running SP2 and it's not just that particular page thats causing the problem, any page ending with .jhtml

i've checked out the link but it doesn't really talk about java, which is what i think the problem might be?

thanks again,...
