I just upgraded my computer from windows 98 to 2000
professional. I connect to the internet using the dial up
connection connecting to earthlink. Everything worked
great under win98. Immediately following upgrade I found
that when I connect to the internet everything works fine
for a couple of minutes and then the browser starts
slowing down and finally freezes or completely hangs. I
can't even disconnect once it reaches this point. Only
was to get out of the connection is to reset the
computer. Does anyone know how to help me??? Also, not
sure if it is related but I also got a message that said
svchost.exe has generated errors. This message doesn't
appear every time, but the connection freezing on the
internet happens every time. Please Help!!
 
You'll want this right away.
