Hi,
It's likely that a third-party security/antispyware program interfered with
the installation of IE8 and that program, or another, is causing the
slowness.
At
http://www.enhanceie.com > Troubleshooting, look for:
* Problem: IE always goes to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
* Problem: IE Startup takes a long time (>3 seconds)
* Problem: Slow Page rendering
Also, a browser add-on could be causing the slowness.
For troubleshooting information see:
