since installing sp2

[Freddo]

I had difficulty installing sp2 but finally with some help from this service
fixed it. Now I find that when checking Internet Explorer or Outlook
Express I can only remain obtaining information for about 5 minutes...then I
get a message "Can't connect to server" "Cannot find server" or "Page not
available". With some other assistance I have tried a few things but without
success. I still remain connected but to get anywhere I have to "restart",
then again it lasts only about 5 minutes. To send this I have restored to a
date before I installed sp2. Any wonderful ideas.???

Post back & say whether this pc is connected via DSL, cable, or on =
dialup modem.

Have you insured that there are no spyware/ malware/ or crudware on this =
machine?

Kindly specify what brand of pc & what make model of processor it has.

Its a dial up service. I have xp home edition, version 2002.
Computer is Hewlett Packard Pavilion with Intel Celeron Processor....and I
am unsure about the spyware situation.
