COMPUTER HELP

call your ip provider.they will help u fix it.

please..any suggestions? im not computer savvy

1999 called they want thier PC back.

Get rid of weather bug first off.

Then, go into your msn settings and make it so it doesnt load up when you connect to the net. Then, get real internet.

your best hopes is to disable javascript & images in your browser... or just use lynx....

But dialup in 2010 is rough.

I'd look into a satellite hookup if you are in the woods.

fuck television, internet is far more important.

shit, I haven't used dialup since 1996!!!

and even then I had two phone lines bonded...

lol i hear you man, but not to many choices out here in the sticks.

you meantioned WeatherBug, AND MSM messenger come up, what else comes up?>

Computers these days have a shit ton of pre-installed crap trials and what not, No Offense OP but Dial-up is sooo beyond obsolete its not funny, so computer companies just assume everyone has broadband and they install all this crap. In addition to that, your computer probably has like 300 Critical Updates waiting to DL, one of which SP3 (Assuming XP) is like 300MB all by itself...

SO, all this crap "comming up" is going to steal what little tiny bit of bandwidth you have.

Go to Start -- Run type " MsConfig " and click start-up tab. remove EVERYTHING you don't need like weatherbug, and MSM messenger. save changes, say no to restart dialog.

in run box again type " services.msc " find "windows update" right click it, and hit "stop"

you SHOULD take the computer to a place with highspeed internet at somepoint tho and allow it to run the updates by re-enabling the update service..

In the meantime this will prevent shit from " comming up " and stealing your bandwidth

thanks for all your responses.even the smart asses lol

Run a system restore to when it was last working....start-> accessories- System Tools- System Restore.

If it's disabled.....

Plus... install something other than Internet Explorer.
