U are running windows, you are merely a client on someone else's computer.
bring up yer run prompt and type msconfig, uncheck MSN, it'll stop it autorunning on boot...will probably free 100's of MB of ram and all.
the shed's gone all serious. new order and computing. well i never.
The perfect time for a picture of my shed.

FFS just use a real ISP you FREAK
What do you suggest Steve?
Any....as long as....
they are a true ISP ( services like AOL and compuserve are not, they go beyond that).
They do not supply a USB "modem". With the exception of a few which emulate an ethernet connection via USB (and are not bad) these are host controlled or "WIN" modems, nothing but a soundchip...they rely on your computer's OS, drivers and processor to "finish the job" of turning squealing noises into useful network data. The upshot is, that if your cpu is busy, your networking goes wrong, and vice versa....they also tend to use horrid drivers which cause most if not all net problems. best bet is buy a nice standalone ethernet modem before you start....I'm not saying they never screw up....but being an autonomous system, they don't take out all the computers in the house and you can simply restart the modem (the old fashioned way of yanking the power cord, they never have power switches it seems) without also retsarting your computer.
They do not require dialer software....again..windows is perfectly capable of running a network connection on it's own, anyone who feels the need to augment that with a big "click here to connect to the internet" button, is not to be trusted.
They have no exotic requirements of their users....some dialer software runs distributed computing software.... like setathome, but you have no idea what the numbers being crunched are for.
They do not block ports, pages or anything else beyond obvious spam. You pay for your connection, anyone who says you can't run games on it or a local mailserver or anything you bloody like, should not get your money.
Take it from me, the same considerations one has when setting up a linux system on the net, also automatically make for a happy windows box too.

Its not a shed. REAL sheds are made out of wood and have the need to be creosoted (if that is how you spell it!)
