Gateway M6866 laptop lags when changing websites or pages? This happens even with simple sites like yahoo.

Try to find out that the problem is not from your browser. If you have more than one browser, try logging in through them. If the problem persists, then perhaps the site is experiencing some lag. Again you didnt say if this problem just started, or if it has been going on since you started using your system. Is it only facebook and yahoo that's experiencing these difficulties, or other sites too. If other sites dont open, the you would need to change your browser. But if they do, I'll advice that you give facebook and yahoo some time, then try again, cos it happens at times.
I hope this is helpful. Pls do let me know.

You want yahoo website to be your homepage?Go to yahoo.com, then go to toolbar at the top of browser, and click on "Tools", then "Internet Options". At the top of the pop-up, you'll see a "Home Page" box. The address of the site that you are currently at (http://www.yahoo.com) is there. Press the "Use Current" button to specify this page as your home page. "Please Post back to let us know if we helped" Kindly rate this article

Hello and thank you for using Fixya's services.

May I ask which antivirus you are using? I also have Windows 7 Ultimate and I went thru every single antivirus out there just to find one I was happy with. I had the same problems but I have a desktop. Even though all the ones I installed said they were comatible with Windows 7.

I tried Norton = Horrible lockups
Panda security = Slow bootup
Trend Micro = No comment
Microsoft Security essential = Ran good but got a virus right away
AVG and Avast = Slow boot up

I ended up going with Kaspersky as it was the only one that didn't give me any issues,

I think this may have something to do with the implementation of the rootkit scans that all of these antiviruses have integrated into the software but I am still researching.

How much RAM do you have and what is the processor speed?

Does this happen only on Yahoo? Try using a different browser like Mozilla Firefox.
I suggest you switch over to Firefox. It's WAY better than Explorer.

Log into the router's management console page at page at http://192.168.1.254/mdc

On the left side under "Advanced", click on "Configure Services"

Set the "Force Upstream MTU" value to 1396 then hit Submit. Reboot the modem/router.
