Thanks for the idea David. after a lot of testing I found things worked a lot better for me, but I still had the problem. it seemed to be more so on some sites over others, but it still happened, and it still happened on html based help files as well.

A site I use frequently loaded not only quicker but without the necessity to refresh or redraw the screen in order to gain access to the links. In other words, the page had focus immediately. Whether this would happen every time only time will tell. Now the problem is to decide which add ons etc to disable under Tools Add Ons to make the improvement permanent. Cheers Neville.
