I got a new high speed connection about a couple weeks ago and since then I've been having problems. First thing is my sound, it tends to repeat like a broken record would. Next thing is my clock, it gets behind. I did download an atomic clock program that allows me to adjust the time, but that gets annoying after a few times. I have thought of a couple of a solutions to fix my computer, but I want to get some input from some of you guys here before I do anything. If you have anything helpful, feel free to post it.

I am on Bellsouth Fastaccess DSL

I use a wireless network card and a base that connects to my computer by USB port. The router is wireless also.

I have Zonealarm Pro

No, I don't have Norton Internet Security

check your wireless router settings

did you install the router software and wireless card software correctly

also go here and check your status, signal, configuration and logs:

If your computer clock is suddenly going slow, it could be that your motherboard battery is dying.

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click the 'processes' tab, and tell us how many are running.

I closed most of the things I saw running execpt for a few key things like the windows explorer and the system tray...I must've had 10 processes running...I'll keep it this way and see what happens.

Ohh.. you're using windows ME?

Actually I have Win 98SE....I even uninstalled the updates I once had on my computer, maybe with those gone I won't have any more problems.

I also closed down the wireless connection tool for my wireless modem that is in the system tray, that seemed to help a lot.
