I just wondered why my internet at home is unbelievably slow lately. I have a Amd k6-2 500 mhz (there is another issue with that that I want to ask), 56K modem connection and 64 MB Ram, I am not sure what else you might need to know.
1: A month or so ago, a program called Webhancer screwed up my computer so my sockets did not work. I downloaded AdAware on a different computer and installed it and it "fixed" my registry and my problem. It seems like since then my internet is slower than ever. Netscape takes forever from when you click the Netscape button to actually accessing the internet. I know my isp is fine because I use the same connection at work and it is dandy.
2: My supposed AMD 500mhz, suddenly was appearing in the system setup as 166mhz! I reset it to 450 mhz, I didn't want to go too high for fear I would blow up my computer. It made the computer a tiny bit faster but internet still ridiculously slow.
What steps can I try to speed my computer back up to the way it used to be?
Thank you very much!!
