The label says it has 512 MB of memory. I'm not sure which memory this is referring to, but if it is the RAM on the motherboard, it could use an upgrade. Windows XP likes to have 2 Gigabyte (2 GB) or more. You are using a wireless router on a DSL sevice. Make sure that your wireless router is secured so that someone else within range can't horn in and ride piggyback on your connection for free. The more computers using the connection, the slower it gets for any one computer. The next potential bottle neck is the DSL service. If this is over a phone line, it may not be a large jump in speed over a standard dial-up service. A good connection does have marked improvement in speed, but a troublesome connection looses much speed advantge. Consider taking the computer to a shop or friend and try on their lines. Another problem, if over a phone line, is a noisy line. Thw phone company can test your phone line for quality. Make sure that you tell the technicam that this line will be used for internet service. If over a phone line, another bottleneck can be the phone company. It may not have installed equipemnt capable of high speed data transfer. If you have a friend who has a high speed cable connection with a wireless router, you may want to try your computer on his connection. Have the computer checked out at a computer shop to discover if it is the computer or the DSL service to your house.

From the Java settings in Control Panel, if you select the "Java" tab and then "View", how many product listings are there? The current one is 1.6.0_18. If older versions are also present, they can be highlighted and removed using the "Remove" button.

What you are referring to here is just a restore capablity that is available following a scan and item(s) removal. Go ahead and delete S&B and do a clean install. Be sure to do a search using the word Spybot for any orphan files so you can remove them before the ionstall. I personally do a reboot between the uninstall and the reinstall of any applications configured to the O/S. Some applications require this on there own others don't. It doesn't hurt anything. I absolutely agree with Owbist, a clean install is superior to an overwrite. DA

Hi: abreeze SpyBot, Usually the downloads don't hurt although for my purpose I never download language options other than English. Sometimes it is a problem downloading the total updates offered....yep you get the checksum or it just stalls and you get ZIP. Waiting till next time for updates is one solution, another is go back and try downloading one at a time. Most often that works for me Good Luck
