Advice needed for new XP user
Having just upgraded to XP I am finding problems downloading pages from Newspapers. I get the front page and then when I select a number of other pages my laptop seems to stop talking to that site. If I select a completely different site it again works fine. Is there a setting that causes it to stall or is it a time setting for the page to load. This only happens when I'm going through Hotel switchboards (28.8) but I didn't have the problem with ME. Any advice appreciated.

is it only on graphic intensive sites? have you tried after disabling images?
tools > internet options > advanced > multimedia > show pictures
you might try XP Service Pack 1 and there is also a service pack available for IE6
all these will be offered to you at windowsupdate.microsoft.com if you dont have them, or failing that you can get them at ;

You'll probably need broadband to download these, you'll find XP SP1 on cover disks for good PC magazines
Try these and let me know if no joy
