If you just switched you might want to check something. I am going to assume
you had dial up before an had an Internal modem (not the one from the
broadband company). In order to use broadband you must have a network card
installed on your computer. It will look just like the modem but with only
one place to plus a cable into. If you have both then shut off your computer
disconnect anything from the back of it. Open it up an take out the modem.
not the network card. All u will need is a screwdriver. Could be your system
is maxed out on IRQ's (wont go into what they are here). Close the system an
give that a try. If you still get the stop error. then remove the Network
card an buy a new one or try moving it to a differant PCI slot inside the
computer. This will be a slot that you take the network card out of an just
move it down or up one slot. If it still dont work I would just buy a new
one. Most stop errors can be traced back to the last peice of hardware
installed or the last peice of software. Also get a firewall software
program if you dont have one already. XP comes with an basic one which is
better then nothing. goto help in the computer an look for firewall it will
walk you threw setting it up. Also buy anit virus software norton is the
best. Macaffee is junk, nortons website will give u real solutions to fixing
virus problems. Hope this helps.
