Windows version?

I ask "Is this new or has it been going on for more than a week?" and you
respond "Pretty much" which does not answer the question at all.

I'm having the same problem but when I click on IE icon on desktop my whole
cpu slows down. Have reinstalled XP as a upgrade didn't fix a thing. This
started a week ago and never had this problem before. I notice the night
before this started that when I shutdown cpu, I did my normal shutdown, ie
waited for screen to say Windows is shutting down, then turn my monitor off.
The next day, thinking it was shutdown,I turned monitor on and the second
prior to hitting the power button I notice the blue screen of death didn't
see the error as I didn't relize that the cpu had not shutdown ALL night.
After that is when I started having this problem. Funny thing is I can check
email, getting XP updates and play my online games just not able to get on
internet. Any suggestion would be helpful
