X`terrania Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Hey! On my other computer we seem to be having a problem. It seems that the internet only works on the internet browsers and a few other internet programs for about 3-5 minutes, and then it just craps out and we need to reboot the computer for the internet to work on those programs again. It's running Windows 98. Any ideas?
Samapico Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Could be some virus or spyware... Do you have anything to prevent these? What kind of connection you have?
Incomplete Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 Give some more info on your ISP and how youve set your net up.
The Real Picard Posted May 21, 2007 Report Posted May 21, 2007 While its running, open TASK MANAGER and see what else is running...
X`terrania Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Posted May 27, 2007 High-speed DSL. Other computers work fine. Only a few programs crap out after a few mins, the main ones: (firefox/ie). Don't know what more you want.. I tried a different port on the router, no success.
Footballstar8583 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) I would go with upgrading, Maybe you computer just cant withstand all the power your internet is using. Or its just too new to work more then 4 mins on your computer. And maybe the drivers aren't right did it come with a disc? And if it did, did you install it on your computer?

rootbear75 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Hamm, do you have any idea what you are talking about? I would go with upgrading,there is always a solution that doesnt involve upgrading, unless you are running 3.1 Maybe you computer just cant withstand all the power your internet is using. that is the dumbest thing i have heard. and it doesnt make sense.the internet runs just as fast as your comp can handle. the Internet, can't make your computer crap out, unless you are using a whole load of processor and mem Or its just too new to work more then 4 mins on your computer. again, doesnt make sense, what is too new? And maybe the drivers aren't right did it come with a disc?i would think that he already considered bad drivers. and i suspect this problem only recently manifested itself And if it did, did you install it on your computer?ya think? anyways, i remember having a problem with a computer i was building. the capacitors were all busted open on the MB. could be a problem, is it? probably not, but just a thought. try opening your comp and see if anything doesnt look normal Edited June 12, 2007 by rootbear75
