    Hey there, ramiko, Welcome to Major Geeks.
    You'll probably need to give more info, such as your system CPU, RAM, video card, and what connection you have to the internet, and what Operating System.
    Also, if you don't mind, could you not capitalize all your words, it makes it harder to read. :)
    Okay, get back with some specs, and we'll see if we can help,
    Take care,
    Eric

    Are you sure that your internet provider is not doing somekind of maintenance?

    If niot, could you tell us if you any virus detection program or firewalls or routers or hubs or other computers using the connection to internet etc... They just make this easier. :)

    P.S: Have you thought about changing your Win ME to XP? ;)

    Please stick to one thread... I have merged your one from yesterday into this one to keep all info together :)



    Have you cleared/deleted your temporary internet files and cookies?

    Is your internet as a whole generally slow, what type of connection do you have ADSL, Cable, Dial-UP?

    try an online speed test http://infospeed.verizon.net/

    And once this problem is fixed, you definately need more RAM.
