Thanks. I'll look into the phone line. I've also started having problems accessing my yahoo account. It seems worse since I've started DSL service last week. I clear the cache all the time, so I don't that's an issue.
My brother said that he'd had similar problems due to spyware. I installed and ran Spysweeper and it found four hits. But now even after removing them I'm still having problems.
I'm running Windows XP. I have 256 MB RAM. On this site, it seems random which posts I can open and which ones I can't. It just sits there and does nothing and there's no activity showing up on the modem. I stop it, try another post and presto, there it is.

> Problems like this can also be caused by a "dirty" phone line.. I know at one point I couldn't connect to ANY site based in the US (except, bizarrely, PB!!) and it had been caused by noise on my phone line (that couldn't be heard, but was affecting my broadband connection), so I called my phone company, told them I was using the phone line for internet and could they clean it to internet standards, they did, and my problems were sorted!!
