When I start it, it comes up with windows 98 screen but it takes at least 2-3 mins before windows 98 starts. I am also having problem with internet. When I click on a link, it takes at least 30seconds before it sends any command through. I am not quite sure what causes this problem.	Guest (0)

Also have you added anything to you line lately (eg a new phone)? that could cause it two.	Guest (0)
