Oh great, my internet connection is only 1/3 as fast as it used to be! And that's for ANY site I visit! Any way to fix this? Odd, it cleared up right after I posted this topic. Hmmmmm.......... It's back. :mad: [ Tuesday, August 19, 2003 11:16: Message edited by: Zephyr Tempest ] -------------------- -Zephyr Tempest, your personal entertainer Posts: 1779 | Registered: Monday, December 9 2002 08:00 |

Earlier today I had problems with speed whenever I tried to post. When I wasn't posting, everything was fine. —Alorael, who thinks Spiderweb is having more problems. What's the chance General will be the victim this time? Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

It might be a worm, scan your computer. Check for spyware also. -------------------- Bending, but not in the way you might imagine. Posts: 995 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I have a firewall, and if anything that wasn't supposed to get through does, it'll get eradicated by the Sophos Anti-virus program on my computer. And I don't know how to scan my computer. :o My computer could really use more sanity and speed. I don't know which I need more. It's really slow, and it once forgot how to move the addresses on the list.

If you have a firewall, but don't know how to scan your system ... then I assume that someone else installed the firewall. Can you try asking the person who installed the firewall to help? Computer problems are much easier when you can see the problem in person (as opposed to attempting to diagnose/fix a problem on a message board). Yes, I know I say 'get someone in RL to help' every time you post a tech problem here. You've never explained why you can't do that. -------------------- We meet and part now over all the world; we, the lost company, take hands together in the night, forget the night in our brief happiness, silently. -- Judith Wright My website Posts: 512 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |

another possible factor could be that you're running too much at once. i wouldn't know, though, unless you tell me what icons are on the taskbar and what active programs you constantly have on. -------------------- Polaris - owns you.
