I`m on a dial-up connection at the moment and each page takes ages to load. Plus I`m being nagged to get off the PC. Also, sorry if this topic is being posted in the wrong place.Anyway, my PC decided it would be fun to revert to default settings (not a BIOS issue) every time I booted it up, so I decided to reinstall XP Pro, since it was due for a reinstallation anyway.

Windows 2000 Pro.I have put in a dial up connection many times manually. So I no how to do it, however
my pastor broght his computer to me cause he knows I no some about computers and I wasa going to put on some spyware and adware programs etc for him. This computer came from his house in a diffent town so I was going to put my dial up connection in it so I could get on the internet to get the update etc. Anyway here is what happens
I go to make a new connection and do all the right things and it comes up and say (it won't let me get all the way through it before it says) The Internet connection wizard could not set up a dial-up networking connection fro the microsoft ISP referral server. The C:ProgramFilesInternetExplorerConnection wizard ICWIP.DUN file may be missing or corrupt. and I can't get any farther.
When I click on a link which asks me to send an email, a small screen comes up headed New Messages. The From and To fields are already filled in correctly when it appears but when I type my message/request/whatever, along comes another screen headed Dial Up Connection and then Connect btinternet.com (my ISV.) My name again is correctly filled in with a space saying if I want to change this password what password? to enter it in space provided.
I have tried every known password which I have ever used and when I press to connect, another little screen pops up telling me that it is 'unable to establish connection.' how to get around this? I end up copying and pasting the original link into my btYahoo mail box and sending it that way. A tad long winded

View 1 Replies View RelatedXP Pro SP2. In Network Connections folder I had an icon for a dial-up connection (which I use), a LAN connection (for wired NIC), A Wireless connection (for built in wireless card), and a 1394 connection (firewire port that XP likes to list as a connection). The NIC, wireless, and 1394 I keep set to disabled when I'm not using them. I enabled the wireless card and set up ad-hoc connection to another laptop with built-in wireless, so I could transfer some files between the two.
After I was finished, I disabled the wireless connection again. My dial-up networking connection disappeared from the Network Connections folder, and it's shortcut icon on desktop disappeared. It still showed in IE Intenet Options, and I could dial-up from there, but when I did, no computer icons appear in the taskbar, leaving me no way to disconnect except by pulling the phone cord............
When I open up Explorer it automatically dials my ISP and when I close it I get asked if I want to sign off of my ISP. This is a great feature. When I open Firefox it dials but it doesn't ask me to sign off when I close it. Is there a way to make it do the same thing for Firefox?

View 14 Replies View RelatedHas begun to occasionally blue screen a few minutes after initiating a dial-up connection. One time it simply froze up after clicking the dial-up connection, had to shut down and reatart. Debug log at end of this post names four Conexant modem drivers and then memory corruption. Have run memtest for 15 hours with no errors. Have uninstalled modem from device manager and reinstalled with new drivers. Tried 2 different sets of drivers, the ones from the manufacturer and ones from Windows update. (Which I normally would never put a Windows Update driver on a computer, but I was trying everything I could think of.) Then ran XP driver verifier on all drivers. It is not hot or overheating, all fans are clean and functional, and am running temp monitor program to verify. Could it simply be that the modem is on it's way out, or what should my next troubleshooting step be? ....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have put my Internet Explorer favorites on the start menu. When I click start, then favorites, and then click on a link, sometimes it will dial up and go to that particular web page as it should, it will only partially load the Internet Explorer page. It doesn't dial up and just locks at that point. When that happens I have to dial up my ISP directly, then open Internet Explorer, go to my favorites menu from there and then to the link I want
View 9 Replies View RelatedI changed from a dial-up connection to cable (Road Runner). Since then, my search engines have changed (when I search from the IE address bar, it uses MSN search now), and many pages that load, although faster, have the message "error on page" at the bottom. Outlook Express became my default email with the Road Runner email address, but most of the time it does not respond. Also, several games are slow to respond or do not respond at all (specifically CSI games and Hunting Unlimited). I run adaware and spybot at least once a week if not more, and defrag regularly. Are there extra precautions I should take with a cable connection?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy computer runs on WinXP Pro. Lately, it has started showing some trouble in processing speed. If more than one Internet Explorer windows are opened, or if applications like ADOBE Photoshop are used, the system slows down to almost a standstill. Even using the Windows Task Manager to shut down certain processes doesn't help.
I've run virus scans and spyware scans and the problem still persists.
My computer using Windows XP operating system has become extremely slow. It takes around 30 seconds to bring up Microsoft WORD and EXCEL. It is similarly slow on my other programs. I frequently run Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware which have detected no problems.
On turning on my computer, it takes about 2 minutes for Windows XP to start up and no MS audio is heard during the start up phase. Audio is working on other programs, however, such as MS Windows.
I have windows 2000, it is driving me crazy!! I have tried everything, but it is not responding correctly, and it is extremely slow. It needs to be totally cleared out, but I have never done it before.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pc with windows XP, with over 700mb Ram, 80gb hard disk space and not many programs running. My video program is NVDIA GFORCE4, and my internet connection is by DSL. Yet whenever I'm online for the past 6 months or so, my pc is very slow and whenever I go to Yahoo Games I basically just freeze up for several minutes. Yes I've got Java programs running, many anti-spyware and antispams running, plus AVG antivirus. I even re-installed and nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me please? I've tried everything and can't figure it out. I even had different laptops on the same connection - the problems seems to be the same but a lot less than with the desktop, and with a friends laptop it was nearly normal. My pc is over 2 years old but the problem only cropped up about 6 months ago and I can't figure it out.
