From 2 cups and a length of string.
I'm running win 98se. I have a dedicated phoneline. Am currently using IE, and sometimes the Yahoo browzer. I frequently go to a surf site and when there's a page with a load of pics, my computor freezes up and have to simulate "power failure" to turn it off. I contacted he techs at Yahoo who immmediately say virus. I run antivirus and I called back for another tech who asked what my computors performance was. was 78%. he said it had to be a min of 80. so I get 84 and still freezing. call back and the tech said Verizon DSL isn't compatable with 98. which is when I went off and had to hang up before making ab azz out of myself.
I read dilberts praises on thre different browzers and downdoaded the firefox. it isn't capatable with my crap cause it only loaded once.
Is there some secret place where I can poke some buttons and throw some f13's around that would "strengthen" my POS internet connection?

Fwiw - I use Win98SE. I have Verizon DSL. I have used some old version of IE, Netscape ( I forget the ver number now ) and switched to Firefox some time ago. Use only Firefox now. ver 1.5.0.9. Have not tried the newer 2.0 version.
Win98, Verizon DSL, and Firefox work together.
I do have occasional freeze ups. Only when I open a LOT of tabs, and only on a couple sites. This site, for example, does not do it.
Under "Performance" right now, system resources is 69% free.
Maybe some of this is useful info for you.
