I recently downloaded several different service packs from
the Microsoft update website and every since then the
first 5 mintues of my dial up connection is normal and
then it slows down to the point where 1 webpage takes at
least 3-5 mintues to load. Normally I could type in
www.msn.com and it be done loading in about 15 seconds.
And now it takes 4 mintues. Im not sure what service packs
I downloaded..I just let windows choose. And I downloaded
them all. Please if anyone can please do.
