I have a brand new Gateway pentium 4 yada, yada. I have a high speed internet
conection but it is so slow I am woiting 5 minutes to open a page. I know
this is probably kid stuff but I don't know what to do, can anyone help? I
have cleared the cookies and deleted internet files?

Are you checking for spyware? Are there sign of activities not relating
to browsing the internet?

If not installed download Adaware and / or update Reference file
from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ and use it to remove
parasites.

Hope this helps.

Jason;
Follow this link:

Also make sure you have the latest Windows XP drivers for your network card.
Do not assume since the computer is new, you have the latest drivers.

In addition to spyware, check for viruses and I hope you have a firewall
(not XP's SP2 firewall) installed and functioning.
