Some of you may have experienced slow performance using SharePoint, Win 7 and I.E 8. This may only concern those of you that use a Hosted SharePoint provider that publishes it with ISA 2006. Not sure if it will have an effect when using SharePoint on the Lan.
Recently I did the upgrade from XP to Win 7, loaded all my favourite apps…everything was humming until I went to download a document from SharePoint and it took 20 secs with the following box popping up…
I added the SharePoint site to my Trusted Sites…still no luck…was still slower than a slow motion replay of a Suzuki Swift taking a hair pin at high-speed.
I remembered that back in the dark ages I used to turn off ’Automatically Detect Settings’ under I.E Tools – Connections – Lan…and it speed certain things up…….
So I unchecked and applied my way out of settings, tested opening a document in SharePoint and woohoo, back to the speed it was from my XP days
