Is this a setting problem? I am running Windows XP with service pack. The pages load okay, but I do not get any background images. I have a dial-up ISP and everything shows up fine on that ISP.
Why can I not get AT&T Yahoo dsl to show up the background images? Their self support help said it is my computer. If so, why do the images show up on the dial-up?
Please help as to what could be the problem and how I can fix it.
Thanks!

I have dialup internet at home. It starts off fine, but then after 5 minutes, it slows right down until it eventually freezes up. What is strange is that if I download something in the background (spybot or AVG updates), the interent connection will work fine until the download is completed. Then it will slow down until it freezes. The longest I can surf the internet at one time is about 10 minutes. I have Windows XP with a newer modem. I have tried both IE and FireFox and it happens on both. Any Suggestions???
Thanks alot (this has been driving me crazy)
When it slows down until it freezes, I cannot close out of anything. Everything on the PC is locked up. I have to hold in the power button to re-start the computer.

I’m running World Community Grid software on a Windows XP SP2 system. The program downloads a work unit, then processes it for a varying time period, usually several hours, then needs to connect to server to upload results and download a new work unit. It needs to call up dialup networking to do so. It does this with no problem in Windows 98SE, but not in XP.
When I start IE on my XP system, it calls up dialup networking, dials and connects as it should, so I know my connection is correctly configured. Can anybody help with this?
I tried running in different compatibility modes – it wouldn’t run at all in 95 or 98 mode- got a missing dll error. Ran OK in 2000 mode, but had original problem, not calling up dailup networking. Any other suggestions?

I have a brand new computer with Windows XP. When I am not on the internet, I unplug the phone line from the back of the computer (Yes, I am stuck in the 90s with dialup). I am extremely careful about the virus software and the window’s updates – I always do them dutifully when prompted. I use the computer as an alarm clock, so it is on all night, but I turn it off during the day while I am at work.
Question #1 – Last night, in the middle of the night, I heard the computer shut down and then the startup music… so I am assuming that it spontaneously restarted. I know of no updates that needed installing. What would cause this to occur?
Question #2 – Occasionally, there is a buzzing or loud humming type noise which pulses slightly coming from the tower. This occurs even when the computer is idling, and happens about once every 2 or 3 minutes and lasts for about 15 seconds.
Thanks for your help!!
