Frequent disconnection with MSN and AIM

Apr 30, 2005 2:35AM PDT

I'm on dial up and saw a link on CNET for a program that you download that would increase your surfing speed for websites by 200%. Ever since then I've been getting disconnceted from MSN and AIM literally every other minute. I uninstalled the program and continue to have the same problem. I went to tools and internet options and restored my defaults but still continue to have this annoying problem of getting disconnected from MSN and AIM.

Try downloading this program first

It will fix any bad links with your dialup software.
The other program will just change internal settings so do the above first.
