An internet connection can become slow or stop working due to a number of reasons depending on the type of the connection. Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz

Answer 3

You reinstalled your OS because IE was running slow? Well that's a little over zealous. Anyway, try clearing your cache and cookies. Then restart your computer. If that does not help, run a virus scan. Also, run an spyware program. If both of these turn up empty try installing the latest version of IE. If all else fails download Firefox at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/.

Answer 6

Maybe you need to add more memory because you may have a lot of programs running....OR you may need a faster processor. Right click on my computer and go to properties and see how much RAM you have as well as the speed of the processor - you may wanna upgrade to 512 mb of RAM

Answer 7

Pls give me examples of webpages you visit. (I'll re-answer this after you add details)
-If the website has many images, it WILL really take long.
-I.E. would take long even on Broadband Connection because it would DOWNLOAD images and the webpage when you enter it. (don't worry, it is on your temporary folder)
- Maybe I recommend you to use Firefox 2.0.0.1 on firefox.com

Answer 8

try all programs/accessories/systemtools/disk clean up

delete your most recent restore points

or goto control panel/system/advanced/performance/ and click on "best performance" click on "advanced" it should be "Programs and system cache" and then change your virtual memory to alot higher mb in ram and if nothing control+alt+del go to task manager
and start shutting down un needed processes
