when using java make sure u don't install one version and update another one .. this is a very common issue makes your browzer slow and creates problems
Solution :
go to java site .. note down number of latest version
open installed programs .. see what is already installed under java name
remove older versions or their updaters
Now open internet explorer .. go to java sight and down load latest version
u can check it on java site whether it is working or not
if u use other browsrs like chrome, firefox u can open and install this version in these browzers as well but first it should be installed in IE and working ...
if all is done well see improvement in your web browsing speed
P.S: before installing remove all older addons (java related) in browzer as well and run "ccleaner" to erase their foot-prints ..
