How long have you been using the computer? If you have been using it for about 6 months or more (and use it fairly regularly), Windows Rot will probably set in. That would account for the slowness, and some instability. As for not being able to get online, have you tried something that uses the Internet other than Internet Exploder (Like an e-mail client for example)? Bill Gates has performed 1024 illegal operations. I hope he's sorry for the inconvenience.

Have tried accessing E-mail account through Outlook but this also doesnt work. Tries to connects then after a while comes up with unablet o connect to serverv etc
