how slow? dialup isn't blazing fast.... pages are supposed to take a few seconds to load.

Maybe you should try the ctl-alt-del thingy and turn off all the background programs you don't what running.... and see if it makes a differnence.

Then try narrowing down to the proccess that makes your computer dog slow.

its not the internet connection shouldnt make the computer run like is it serioulsy under resourced , its a amd 800mhz which should be ok to run winme but its like somethings happening ,,,i just thought someone here could shed some light,,,,the computer runs well but as soon as it handshakes and connects to the net

hey i found that i had to get rid of the tcp/ip and dial up networking through add remove programs and i had to edit the registry, so if anyone else has the same problem this seemed to fix mine
