For some time now I have experienced very slow response time to opening
certain sites. I get to my home page right away and can get to goggle, ebay
or others with no problem. Then when I try to go to others like cingular
the process slows to a crawl (couple of minutes) or stalls and never gets
there. another computer on the network does not have the same issues so I
am guessing it is a software issue. I run roadrunner with XP SP/2 and have
done adaware and spybot and tried system restore........nothing seems to
work......any ideas
Thanks
 
The Tilton Family,
Their is a contract dispute between two major Internet Services, that may have a direct effect on your RoadRunner service.

I see that you also have a problem with OE. DGuess tried to help you in the Swiss OE group where you also posted.

Below is a snip from a post by Frank Saunders which I think you should do.

First eliminate any spyware.
What You Should Know About Spyware

CAUTION!!!!! Removing some spyware can damage the Winsock stact. Before
you try to remove spyware using any of these programs , download a copy of
LSP-Fix - a free program to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks (all Windows
versions) so that the program will be available after removing the spyware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
