I'm running a new and clean P4 laptop with XP Home and a cellular modem. I
have each and every update microsoft has provided for windows as well as IE6.
I also have the microsoft beta spyware software, and when I did a scan it
detected no threats. The problem is: every time I go online I get an error
message from explorer or it will just close itself. This happens very
frequently, sometimes every 5 min. I'm pretty positive this has nothing to
do with my modem because not once have I ever lost the connection. Any
advice?
-Thanks
