What exactly is wrong? We need to know what you have "done".

As above,
But a quick check...
Goto start--> Run
Type "iexplore -extoff" and press return.
Then use the internet as normal and see if that fixes "whatever"

Please note there are no Free links to 'fix' computer problems. All so called 'free' links will lead to rogueware or spyware. An easy fix would be to download a Firefox or Google Chrome. And stay away form installing 'free' internet security or 'free' computer scans, they will kill your PC eventually. PM sent.

Whilst installing a new browser might 'solve' your issues it isn't curing the problem.
For example, if you've got spyware on your pc, it won't matter what browser you're using.

Personally, I'd be investigating what he problem actually is, rather than installing something to mask it.

It may not be your computer at all, it could be the router or your phone line or interference from another device, I've had all those problems in the past. Your phoneline can be faulty yet the phone works as normal. It would be cheaper to whack the router with a hammer
