Please help me whenever i connect to the internet after about 5 min it disconnects but the computer think it is still connected but not working and can't disconnect. Only i can do is restart.

Also if i install winxp again over the old install will all the programs need re-install again or it will just replace system etc. files. Will the registry still be like old one?

there is no such thing as reinstall your windows in xp.. the reinstall means installing a fresh winxp and all your previous programs registry will be gone.. although if didn't choose the format your partition option before reinstalling all your old programs files and data files will still remain in ur hard drive...

sound like it is your modem problem... :rolleyes:

Yeah i know but maybe it is fixed now. My pc auto heals??? I had a problem with pro evo restarting the pc whenever i clicked to mode select menu now i don't. This doesn't seem to done this anymore. LOL strange.
But it is too bothering that u can't actually end a network connection from task manager.
