casey Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I have had this problem ever since I installed XP. Loading pages seems to be slow to start with then gets slower until it times out & I have to disconnect & reconnect. I have even re-installed XP. No luck.I haven't worried too much as I mainly use ME or Linux which work perfectly. Even 98SE works better than XP. I originally used an internal modem but now use an external one for use with Linux. Both had/have the same problem with XP.Using IE or Opera browsers.Is there any answer to this or shall I continue to ignore XP.Fujitsu-Siemans comp. p3. 1g. 512m ram.

Big Elf Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Have you installed SP1 and the critical updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Have you defragged it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions.SP1 installed, XP firewall turned off (using Kerio firewall), & defragged. Some updates installed but probably not all as I haven't bothered to use XP for months.Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
