I need help! I just changed ISP, from Earthlink to Yahoo
DSL. My problem is I can't Shut down my computer.
When I go thru the procedure it will shut down for about
8 seconds then my computer will restart again!
When I had Earthlink it was dialup. I have called SBC
Yahoo and they don't have a solution,I have removed
the new software and reinstalled it
your help would be greatly appreciated.

A suggestion; try setting-up a DSL connection thru the "New Connection
Wizard' utility which is part of XP listed in your Start menu under
Communications... All you probably need is this... I have had Bellsouth DSL
for over 2 years, never installed ANY of the software they sent on a disc to
setup the connection. and it works perfectly.. Usually, people want 'bells
and whistles' meaning the interface that would come-up showing how to check
this and check that and some companies will say all this stuff will help you
to 'stay connected' etc.. usually it is unnnecessary junk..It may be the
cause of your problem....
 
I agree. I have SBC DSL and did not install one thing
from their CD. Just went with Outlook and IE6.0 to go
online. I used the Internet connection wizard too.
