Hello, I am having a problem on XP with my internet connection. I sue dial up and when I first try to connect it fails connecting with the main computer. So then I restart it and it usually works ok the first time I connect. If a disconnect and come back a while later it will connect but the only page that will open is the home page and nothing else will so I have to start over again. Anyone know what may be causing this? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Josh

Your networkcard maybe need an update, download Everest Home, look in network, there is an driver update site: http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1

Now, when I connect to the internet, my CPU Usage shoots all the way up in the 80-100 % range. When I look at the processes, it is one of the svchost.exe that is doing it. Anyone know what the problem may be?

Just an update, I ran Spybot S&D and it took a bunch off. But when I connect to the internet, it still is 70-80+%. When I ran Spybot again, there was one that keeps showing up that wont delete. It is called DSO Exploit. Anyone know what to try next?

Try these: http://www.nsclean.com/dsostop.html
DCOMbobulator: http://grc.com/default.htm

And run Spybot from safe mode-F8

I tried those but the DSO Exploit still comes up when I run Spybot and the CPU Usage is still real high. On Spybot, it gives you the option of jumping to the location of the DSO Exploit. Can I delete the registry that it brings up or will that mess my comp up? Any other suggestions?

Get patches to windows

It is harmless when you have patched windows

You should be able to fix in registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1004"=dword:00000003
If you click on - 1004 set value to 3
Reboot

Just in case

Ok, when I bring up the thing to edit it, it says Value Name and Value Data. Value Data is what I change, correct? I really appreciate all the help.

Yes-value name is in right pane-1004 and data is? which shall be 3
