I am running a P-IV, 1.6, 512 ram,92GHD's, Win XP Pro and dial up. I just installed a stick of 256 memory, (identical to the first stick) and since doing that, my computer is quite a bit faster, (offline) but when I connect to the web, everything loads so much slower than when I only had 256 ram. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bill

Have you scanned for pests?

Tools like EWDIO and HOUSECALL are free and may show what pest moved in.

Bob, I routinely run Spy-bot and Ad-aware on a weekly basis. I am using AVG-free and Zone Alarm-free. I am going to go ahead and run a scan using housecall and the other one and report back. Thanks, Bill

Bob, I scanned the system using "Housecall". It found two cookies that my programs did not find, I deleted them and the system is working properly. Thank you so much, Bill
