Sorry it was longer than 15 minutes. While walking the dog, a home
inspector told me the condo next door to me has termites. Bad news.

The only way I can reproduce your problem is when I terminate the connection
to the ISP, and launch IE. When I terminate the connection, my firewall
(ZoneAlarm) continues to show that my PC is still sending data. Where the
data is going I don't know. But for sure the data is not going to my ISP.

That's why I asked you to try other programs. Once a connection is
established, it is possible to communicate using Outlook Express to post
newsgroup messages, and run Windows Messenger to chat with friends, even if
IE crashes with error messages. If no connection is established, then
Outlook Express and Windows Messenger will also fail.

When you get home, log onto the Limited User account, and tell me if you can
successfully communicate using other programs (Outlook Express and Windows
Messenger).

I'm at work not home, but I can't get on the internet to access this page to
post a message. It won't go anywhere, but I see the computer sending info
when I see how long I've been online.
