Recently changed to Verizon DSL

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.
