after a recent crash on my pc i ended up reinstalling everything and purchased a external hard drive so now am re-designing all my pages but to make sure my forums was still up and running i added the forum link. problem is internet explorer is taking forever to open up the forums and sometimes loses connection i have done a full scan and nothing shows up this has never happened to me before until the crash everything on the net is slow so cannot understand whats going on. any help would be great.
thanks

Operating Programs need to be on your local Hard Drive ... externals are great for backing up files to for archiving and even for permanent storage (rather than loading onto your HD, so you can access them to import into running programs), but external drives are not meant for running programs off of .... something about the partitions, I believe. I may be wrong, but I've not been able to do it myself trying to run ACT and a few others, so I would assume a browser would be hampered not just from connection side of things, but assimilating the destination of display among other issues ....
