348479 2005-04-24 23:09:00 We have a very slow dial-up connection.
We use ie6 with 98se.
The mouse cursor frequently flickers badly while pages are loading and frequently freezes.
Solutions please!

348480 2005-04-24 23:45:00 Have you scanned your pc for viruses, spyware etc, and have you tried using another browser such as Firefox Overdrive_5000 (4950)
348481 2005-04-25 00:59:00 I have had this with a similar system, and have found it is usually another programme trying to access the internet, maybe spyware.

If you have a firewall such as ZoneAlarm, it should be warning you of programmes trying to access without your permission.

You could also do the "three finger" Ctrl/ Alt/ Del to see what is running at that particular time when it flickers.

Cheers :)

2) Your system may be infected with Spyware or Malware . I recommend running 'Adaware' or 'Hijack This' to find out what is running on your system . Both are available as free downloads .

3) Your system may have become clogged up . How long have you been running this computer before? Have you ever had any problems before? Did this problem start when you installed IE6?

Please give us more information .

Do you really have to ask questions like that? If you read more than the first line you would have noticed that I also stated that it's available on the PC World Cover CD...

348486 2005-04-25 04:00:00 you are right, I didn't read past the first line. Do you need to be so touchy? theother1 (3573)

No, I don't. I am sorry, I was a bit harsh. I meant no trouble.
