I appear to be connected via a wireless signal but I cannot access the internet.
I had windows 2000 and everything was fine except that I had a kernel error that would automatically closed various websites I would visit. I got so frusterated that I upgraded to WinXP, now my computer runs dirt slow and whenever I play sound files they are distorted and my CPU usage jumps from 20 to 100% even when I am not doing anything. I don't think it is a virus or spyware because with Win2000 the computer was running fine (great even) and my only issue at the time was ntldr32 error that was generated when I would visit some websites which would, as I had mentioned, automatically shut down my internet browser (well the just the one if I had other browsers open and didn't go to websites that set it off then they would remain up)
In an attempt to clean-up / speed-up my computer I accidentally deleted the linksys instant wireless program I had running.
I have a linksys wireless USB adapter (WUSB11). I tried to reinstall it but I couldn't and got the impression that you couldn't use it within XP (even though I had been) so then was forced to use WZC and now I connect and constantly lose the ability to get online.
I do get on but never last for longer than 10 minutes and then I try to go to another page and get The page cannot be displayed msg even though when I look it shows that I am connected (with great signal).
PLEASE HELP I am being driven crazy. I have a laptop that connects just fine but because it has an internal wireless card the signal strength is always Very Low and as a result isn't very reliable (so I often lose the signal)
Thank you, I realize this covers a variety of issues (not all internet related) and it is a bit long, hope someone can help me figure out what the is going on.
