System locks with a high speed connection

G

Guest

I am a novice computer user. I can access the internet through AOL and a dialup connection. However, if I connect a cable or DSL line, my system locks when I click either the AOL, Yahoo, or IE icon? This problem started about 6 weeks ago. I have already run the repair of XP with Dell Tech Support using the installation disk. And I have fully updated Norton Antivirus 2002 and have run a virus search. Also, I have ZoneAlarm 4.5 (I had ZoneAlarm 5.0, but the discussion group stated that it had an issue with AOL 9.0.) I would appreciate any suggestions. Otherwise, I guess my only choice is to reinstall XP.

Hi, Bud. I just terminated my DSL line. Now I'm on Optimum Online cable access. But both connect to the same ethernet connection in my modem. Thanks for your help.
