Immediate freeze on-line
unit has ME OS Freezes as soon as connection with ISP (dial-up) is established. or very quickly after. Same with either Outlook Express or IE or simply connected to the ISP with neither of the aformentioned programs running.
I have tried a new Agere' modem - same result. I have reloaded windows - The add remove program "repair IE" is not available. This one's got me stumped any ideas will be appreciated - thanks

Did you reformat and install Windows clean, or just reload over the top? If over the top, have you scanned for viruses, trojans, and spyware?

That sure sounds like a clean install to me. Try testing your ram, it can cause freezeups.
www.memtest.org A tired old power supply could do it too. What motherboard do you have and what's the brand and wattage of the power supply? |

MB is SOYO processor 650 AMD 128 MB PNY 2100 sdram power supply is 300 watt one HD one CD ROM. unit works fine off-line. I'm trying to fix it up for a 75 yr old lady who's "old computer" bit the dust. She'll be on the phone if it hiccups - I'd like to get it solid before I give it to her.

The power supply is new - I've reconfigured "Earthlink Dial-up" Checked the memory by substituting a new stick. Sometimes it'll stay on for nearly a minute (long enough to change web sites from the home page) before it freezes up. I appreciate your input I'm still workin' on it.

Do you have a real hardware based modem to try? Software "winmodems" can be a real headache, especially on older machines and 9x based operating systems. Have you installed all applicable motherboard/chipset drivers?
