Lost connection
I play online bingo and find that after a short time sometimes only 40mins my
connection just dies even though it shows me as still being connected. I've tried countless times to empty tem internet files but this doesnt seem to work. I have a feeling my computer may be too old to run the software they are using. I have an antique P3 450 with 128 ram. The software is macromedia based. I can play at yahoo for hours with no problems but these sites just dont like my computer. Is there anything (apart from updating) that I can do? Thanks in advance. |

I don't know which site to visit for a trial. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

My Win 98SE machine PII 350 Mhz machine on Road Runner Broadband was working OK
until a T-Storm rolled through last Friday and now everything is going slower than a 2800 baud modem. If it is very low signal level caused by precipitation, that is one thing; but I've been seeing a lot of posts in these M$ groups about steps being taken to counteract this type of slowdown and disconnection. I think this may be a pervasive outbreak of an outrageously slow connection speed virus or spyware registry hack. This may be my last post before my modem quits for the hour. I can't even finish loading up the Google homepage! I've run AdAware 1.05 & 1.06. I ran an AV scan on my System drive and found no virus with the Panda AV updated. I've deleted the 180 Search Toolbar twice in 2 days. I've cleaned out the TIF folders manually at great inconvenience. The Road Runner people are coming tomorrow to check my connection. I live in an apartement; so if the inside wiring has gone bad, how am I gonna convince the landlord to replace the RG-59 cable in the wall with RG-6 cable especially when the inside wiring is "inaccessible". I may have no TV or internet after tomorrow because of this total abdication of authority around me. The Time Warner people can't tell my landlord to do anything, and I can't tell my landlord to do anything, and the landlord wouldn't do anything anyway. There are large and growing potholes in the long driveway that are being neglected. I hear a cab driver called the landlord to complain and got nowhere. Well, here goes the Send Button. Hope it gets there on this Send. BTW, my TV signals suck too. A lot of snowy cable TV shows above channel 50. Channel 77 is as high I as I go here, until 12-31-2008. |

OE6 says I have Low Memory or Low Disk Space and it won't show the next message.
Maybe Homeland Security is locking down our internet speeds? The less I type, the more likely my message will get sent the first time. |

OK, I found out how to clear the Content.IE5 folder with the Work Offline
checkbox while deleting files in Internet Options within Control Panel. And after that there was the Windows Critical Update KB837009, and I downloaded that. Suddenly, my machine seems to be working back at normal for a few minutes. I hope the good connections lasts...or should I really hope at all? Should I call off the Road Runner Tech guys tomorrow? Was all that I needed, the above written instructions and a timely Windows Update? Nah, I can get a Free Signal Testing from them. The appointment stays ON. "Cymbal Man Freq."
