I do experience the same problem with Winmx.

One other thing; most times than not, when I exit IE 5, it gives me an error box that the program has caused a fault.......etc.

Sometimes I can clear this box and go on, but sometimes I have to reboot to clear the box. This seems to happen more If I close IE while it is in the middle of loading a ...

I am running a PII 233 with 32 mb ram and Windows 95. I have a 6.4 GB hard drive partitioned into 3 drives (c,d,e - came this way from Dell).

My new cable modem works pretty good, but I notice my hardrive is really getting a workout. It seems like it is constantly accessing.

The only thing that does not (actually got very much slower) is Napster downloads. I have changed my Napster setting to "cable", looked ...

Thanks for the help. The thing that has me puzzled is that I do select cable to cable connections, look for a user who is not uploading/downloading anything else and even look for a favorable ping rate, but nothing helps. I have tried multiple users from different areas and that didn't help.

Very new to the cable modem world and how it works so any help appreciated. My local cable provider installed a my cable modem and an ethernet card to access the net. I am using W95 & a Dell PII 233 with 32mb RAM.

I am pleased with the speed web pages load and most download speeds. The only ...
