Thanks Keith, I turn my unit off each and every nite so I would suppose that would do all the resetting I should require.

I have found that on occasion, the system seems to be much slower than usual, with all spyware removed (trojans checked, etc), but found that rebooting 2 or even 3 times seems to reset all the links, registry and all so that it returns to standard speed. I have advised a few others to do the same and they seem to feel that it works for them as well.

Thanks Clint, I just checked the specs and my OS is XP2002 SP2 with an AMD Athlon XP2200+ 1.79Ghz and 512mb of RAM.
BTW I also notice this on my laptop a Dell 9100. It does not happen all the time and is quite random in nature.

Larry I had that problem too when I was using it. If your PC is rather slow (CPU wise and not much memory) that MIGHT have something to do with it. I had it worse on an old slow PC (800mhz and 128mb), but not as bad on my main PC. They were both XP SP2 and on the same LAN. So, it might be a CPU thing since FF does suck the CPU resources. But FAIK it could have something completely different. I tried the tweaks and they didn't help.

Yes I am on broadband and I checked those settings as I vaguely remember
those instruction. Mine have been set that way. So I guess it is
something else. I really do not remember having this problem before it
has just started in the last couple of months. I have checked if I had
installed anything that might change this but nothing comes to mind.
Thanks anyway Peter.

There are some tweaks for FF on broadband, I think Clint posted them once perhaps (I could be wrong).
Anyways this is what I have, I'm on dialup so I can't verify it :(
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down
and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When
you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds
up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
HTH Larry, let me know if it does.

I have noticed that when using FF and I launch to any site (URL)that
it does not connect the first time and shows me a message that it
times out. I try it the second time and it always connects. Is it just
a matter of extending the time if that is possible?
Peter might know the answer to this. I believe he uses FF.
