Hi everyone, I'm new here,but this seems to be the most helpful site I found....Please help me....Pretty desperate here.
I'm not able to download at all. The download box opens but nothing starts. The internet freezes momentarily, I can run messenger programs but not all pages download properly, I have to keep on hitting refresh. Also, my email won't download either.
I get no error messages. I have tried other browsers beside IE, but nothing works.....I'm clueless...Please help. :cry:

Did you make any hardware or software changes just before the problem? yes, I understand my son used some kind of reg cleaner but now it's uninstalled. I dont' know how much was erased or "cleaned"

yes, all is well, the other computer sharing the wireless connection works well.
it seems that there's something blocking contents from coming in. I have turned off everything like the firewall, pop up blocker, norton to see if it would start working again but to no avail.
thanks for all your help.
