Internet Explorere 6 using Windows 98se

[Guest]

I'm not sure if the problem is with IE or windows. I can get to the
internet, but if I try to access another web page by clicking on a link the
page opens but never finishes loading. An example would be trying to get
updates... I can get to the Windows update page and choose the updates to
install. When the download window opens it just sits there saying Preparing
To Download, but the download never starts. Any Ideas?

Thanks, Greg

P.S. - when opening control panel there is a long, mabey 30 sec., pause
before the window opens. I've removed all spyware/adware and hijackers. 2
different virus scans came up clean.

What type of connection do you have? (cable or dial-up)
May also consider programs that may be running in the background that are
utilizing a large portion of your system resource.
Finally and probably the most frequent question asked is, have you done
anything recently on your computer(such as download, upgrade, change, edited,
etc) prior to this problem?
