I don't think so. My daugher loaded Microsoft internet explorer provided by American Online. I have no problems with the internet or computer except when trying to dowload a program through the internet. This happens even when downloading Microsoft site programs, too. The computer just loses the connection at the beginning of the download. Thanks for the reply.

I read somewhere that many ISP servers consider that downloading is no net activity and disable the connection. There are softwares like 'Remain Conected' etc. you may want to try it while you download, it keeps on pinging your server so that it thinks you are active.

Do keep posted it it worked.
