With no more info about the configuration of the computer and reading the symptoms of the patient, it seems an incopatibility of some kind with the ADSL modem.
But with computer you can't assure that. Here we had been having problems with certain computer, nothing wanted to get installed on it, neither XP or Linux Red Hat 8. We blamed the hard disk, but the truth is that we still aren't sure what it was.
It's only through shutting off the computer (in a non-Windows-friendly way) and unplugging it for a while that I managed to make it start again.
One day I did that and the next morning I only saw a blank screen, not even the bios messages. I had burned the CPU
XP is supposed to work better than Millenium and not the other way around
My computer works better now with XP than before with 98. Both "eat" the same amount of memory, but XP manages it better.
