Hello all! I am seeing this strange behavior on a couple of our computers. All of the installs are with Windows 7 Enterprise and they have been "clean" installed. I can try to open up a link via a new tab using the middle mouse button, or the right-click menu, but tabs just sits at...

Internet slow after boot Hello, I've noticed that after win 7 has loaded, the internet acces is very slow. It takes a long time to open an internet page. After approx. 10 minutes everything works fine at full speed. I've tested with firefox, opera and explorer so it isn't a browser problem...
