ISP Speeds?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I cleaned off my old Dell desktop that has a dialup modem. Loaded Windows XP Pro – dialup connection dropped to 26.8. Had the geeks come out to assess and was told that my 486 processor was unable to keep up with the OS.

I purchased a new Dell laptop in January thinking that everything would be configured correctly and my dialup would increase a bit.

NOT!!! What is causing this issue?

Also, I heard that Vista will not work with dial up. Is this accurate? I have the upgrade but have not installed it.

Does remote desktop work if you have dial-up internet? If so, do both computers have to have dial-up? I have cable, and I want to connect to a pc that has a dial-up connection…is that possible??

What’s the difference between a laptop computer and a desktop?

Posted on June 23, 2010 by admin| 6 Comments

I know that you can just fold a laptop and take it anywhere but why are they so much more expensive? Can you hook speakers and a printer up to a laptop like you can a desktop? nd i was just wandering if you have dialup how can you get online on a laptop if you go somewhere? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

I just spent 1 hour reading 5 emails. When I try to scroll it just sits there for as long as 1 min then goes white except for the blue header before it comes back. Thought it was my desktop and dialup but get the same result on laptop and Mac at work with DSL. Used Yahoo for 12 years and couldn’t see myself giving it up but this is not useful. Use Norton and haven’t changed security in over 2 years. This has taken 15 min to type.
