After downloading IE 7 yahoo is running slow...how can I speed this up?

I had the same problem with IE7 being extremely slow and in general everything running slower. Try increasing the size of the virtual memory paging file. I changed my range from (672-1344) to (1000-2000). If you have the available resources this should help. Good luck! The steps to change in XP Professional are below:

Open System in Control Panel.

On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.

Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.

Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, and type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

Be sure to save/apply your changes and reboot your computer.
