Sure appreciate some help on this one.

Running a PC with Windows Me, and AOL 8.0 is installed.
CPU=P450/RAM=384MB
Dial-up Connection

AOL kept freezing, so, cleared caches, reinstalled AOL adapter, modified graphics, etc.

Connect to Internet, try to download something, and the speed goes down to about 1.3Kbytes/sec. Downloading 1 MB takes almost half an hour!!

Decided to install MSN 8 instead. Same problems as with AOL.

Any ideas of what could cause such a slow download speed, or how to fix the problem?
