You can modify some settings on Group Policy to make it work:\n\n1.) Log on as Administrator.\n2.) Start - run - type gpedit.msc\n3.) Expand "local computer policy"\n4.) Expand "administrative templates"\n5.) Expand "network"\n6.) Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler"\n7.) On the right window double click "limit reservable bandwidth"\n8.) On the setting tab check "enabled"\n9.) Change "Bandwidth limit %" to 0 . That's it you're done. It would be a good idea to reboot to effect changes.\n\n\nYou can also try TCP Optimizer: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php\n\nRemember also that animations/picures/videos do slow down the process of loading a website, so consider to use Firefox from Mozilla and install add-ons to block flash animations, which you can enable later once you are at the website you want to see. Also, Firefox let you load only images that are displayed from the original site, "hotlinks" of images from other sites are blocked.

Not really. If your ISP has a proxy server that could make it faster. What a proxy server does is cache (keep a copy) of all web pages people visit, so then if you visit those same pages you only have to connect to your ISP rather than the actual page itself, making it quite a bit faster. In internet explorer Tools->Connections->Lan settings allows you to set your proxy server. But its not a common thing these days as most people who care about such things are using broadband, and ISP's don't offer a proxy.\n\n\nBTW Google Web Accelerator is no help - "3. Can I use Google Web Accelerator with a dial-up connection?\n\nDial-up users may not see much improvement, as Google Web Accelerator is currently optimized to speed up web page loading for broadband connections."

you could add the address to your hosts file or in the restricted sites zone in IE properties\n\nas for the timer thing youd need a seperate program to do that (quite easy to write i imagine)

You can upgrade, but you need to create a new XP Pro CD with Service Pack 2 - the process is called slipstreaming.  See:

You could use some tweaks that will free up memory and increase speed. A step by step guide on how to do this can be found here,\n\nhttp://www.tweakhound.com/xp/xptweaks/supertweaks1.htm

Unless you really know a lot about programming then there really isn't a whole lot you can do to "boost performance" on dial up. Sorry.

There are so many things that slow or speed up a browser. For one, you can speed up your browser by increasing the RAM in your computer. The best way to speed up your browser is speeding up your connection (such as DSL).

In term of speed to be honest, there is not much you can do, stop using those program like email client, stop updating antivirus software or spyware remove program when browsing the web. \n:)

Internet Explorer on my CPU does the same thing sometimes. \nTo get around it, right click on the link and select "open in new window".

Yes, use Firefox as a browser that will take care of most of it. Or XPSP2 at least.

You can't really "speed up" dialup. or any connection for that matter.\nAs for your browser, try running windows update, or update whichever OS you use.

How comes you're using XP Pro on a "P3 class" Celeron with only 64MB Ram. This is a mismatch that couldn't be greater. To run XP Pro you need at least 256MB and even this is low. I suppose you previously had W98 or W98SE, go back to that OS to increase the speed without upgrading the hardware.\n\nBut if you want to stay with the XP Pro, you have to upgrade the memory to the maximum (512MB ?), this is not that expensive. But be careful, not even Crucial has the Ram type of the HP Pavilion 7700 in it's database, so it seems your system may require proprietary or non-standard Ram.

...by doing a search for "speed up my computer" and "clean my computer"\nthere's lots of little changes you can make to speed things up.

Other than doing what is already posted, you should consider an alternative browser. I recommend using Mozilla Firefox.\n\nThe system requirements can be found here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/system-requirements.html\n\nYou can find the English language Windows version of Mozilla Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\n\nIf English is not your native language, you may find your language here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html . This page also has versions for different operating systems.\n \nFirefox allows you to configure whether you want to see images or not. You can also configure it to only show images that are hosted at the site that you are browsing. You can  configure it to show/block images on a site-by-site basis. There are Extensions ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ ) which provide additional options. There are also extensions which can accelerate your download speed. In fact, there are hundreds of extensions which can enhance many aspects of browsing.\n\nBelow, I've listed links to other popular alternative browsers. I don't use them so I can't tell you about them.\n\nAvant Browser - http://www.avantbrowser.com/\n\nOpera Browser - http://www.opera.com/
