After about an hour or so of browsing, or up to two hours of just being turned on my computer slows down to an unacceptable speed, all programs become very slow and only a re-boot cures the problem.
It is a fairly new Dell, Pent.IV 2.0gigs, 256RAM, 80gigsHHD, 'phone line uplink and satellite dish downlink, WinXP Pro.ZoneAlarm 3Pro, Norton AV2002.
Does anyone have any idea why this should be please?
Also virtually impossible to send an email with an attachment, only basic text emails but then not to mutiple adressees, one or two OK. Have managed to send the odd attachment as the very first thing done after a re-boot, after that, no joy.
That is using Outlook2002 and this problem only started after I changed to a satellite DOWNlink, (still 'phone uplink).
Have tried all the help lines, Dell, MS and Telstra but they don't really have a clue.
Strangely the laptop, not configured for the satellite, does up and down over the same line, everything no problem!
