This is an old problem but it's new to me.
The Windows XP Professional OS on my computer got corrupted so I ran the Windows XP setup disk, formatted the partition and installed Windows XP. I used to build computers for clients and myself so I have installed Windows XP many times. This last installation did not appear to be any different but it was. The internet adapter is installed with no problems. I have network connection with 5 other computers ranging from my home to my shop 150 feet north of my home (range extender). The problem is that I just barely have internet. I managed to download Google Chrome so I know that there was or is an internet connection but it is very poor and unreliable. If I enter yahoo.com then up pops yahoo.com but if I try to open one of the links then it fails and the error page is displayed. I have installed Windows XP 3 times today and my determination is waning. What do I need to do in order to get the Internet up and running? I'm desperate because that is the computer that I run my $15,000.00 CAD/CAM program on.
