Have a good read here:

http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1149948530

Is this a dialup or broadband connection? If the latter do you have a router? A firewall is a good idea and a router does this very well.

[pabsref]

thanks for the reply! i'm using a modem and dial up...

[GX1_Man]

Did you format the drive and instal Win2000 or just a dirty, "over the top" install?

[pabsref]

i have a clean install of win98se.. with IE5 upgraded to IEsp1 then
upgraded to to win2000p then add sp3... i think this not a clean
install to win2000p...do i have to reformat it again and have a
clean install of win2000p? i have reformatted it this is the
second install...reinstall is my last option...thanks

[GX1_Man]

If you install Win2000 you do not have to have 98 on there first. If it is an upgrade, you just insert the Win98 CD when it asks for it for a few minutes.

The latest update is SP4. You can download this, burn to a CDand install before even connecting to the net and install your antivirus of choice and a good spyware tool like Spybot at the same time.Then set up your Internet and get the remaining updates online.

[pabsref]

sorry if i'm a bit confusing... i have an old bootable cd of
win98se.. i always use win98se... used to it... now, whenever
i insert the cd, it used to prompt me to upgrade to to win2000p
so thats it...anyway thanks for the help and tips....i'll follow your
advice and hope that it will resolve my problems...

[GX1_Man]

It is strange that Win98 would urge you to upgrade to Win2000 (which was not even released when Win98 was out!)

Do a correct reinstall and let us know.  

[pabsref]

sorry again.. i have this cd named "power desktop 2002" with
win98se, win2000p, offic97pe and office2000se in one cd...
okey, i'll try to reinstall, then download sp4... thanks

[GX1_Man]

That sounds like pirated software there, my friend!  

Microsoft doesn't sell it like that.

[pabsref]

i think so... ... i bought it in a surplus shop a few
years ago...i think i have to buy a new cd...it even
have it's own cd key... and  microsoft validated it
when i downloaded sp3...  

[GX1_Man]

Microsoft does not have validation, activation, etc. on 2000 as it does on XP. I know the screen you're talking about with 2000, but it really doesn't validate anything.

[pabsref]

ahh.. okey..thanks for the info... i will get a new
cd... reformat... reinstall... then follow all the
procedures and all those links you gave me...
will post the results if that will resolve my problems...
thanks...

[GX1_Man]

I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
