Internet explorer loads twice on my aunt's pc, making startup time very long. How do we get it back to normal

Use Firefox, surf the internet faster and more securely, and forget internet exploder. Lots of nice add ons for firefox too like Image Zoom, Flashblock, Adblock, Noscript, etc . . . Feature rich without Bill Gates telling you what you can and cannot do.

1. An addon may be interfering with IE. Start IE without addons. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No add-ons).

2. If no joy, reset IE settings. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Click on "Reset" button. Click OK. Close all browsers. Reboot the computer.

3. Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet Explorer. Temporarily disable antivirus and other security programs, firewall, toolbars such as Google and Yahoo, and desktop programs such as MSN and Google.

4. If using Windows XP, uninstall and reinstall IE. Make sure you have the latest updates.

5. Create a new user account in Windows.

Hope this helps!
