slow dialup connection and lose connection

Two problems
When I dial up Outlook Express it takes forever to load.
Also if I change from Yahoo or iprimus and go to O.E. it will cut off the connection and bring up the Dial up connection box to be connected.
Anyone who can help with problems would be great.

 

When I dial up Outlook Express it takes forever to load

1. Do you mean your dialup takes along time to get logged on, or OE opens slowly?

2. In OE, tools, options, connections, checkmark in "ask before switching ". Internet connection sharing, click on change, connections, checkmark in never dial..

 

Thanks for suggestion about being cut off - I will go out and try that and report results.

Dialup connection to the internet is very slow.
When it asks for name and password, it dials up, verifies user name etc. and that's where it sits for ages.

 

I changed the settings as you suggested and it's working fine now.
I have another query????
Where it shows you the page you are on (very top of screen) the letters are very large.
The icons are normal size - Address is large and Start button is also large plus the icons for time, internet connection, date etc. are also large. Hmmmmmmmm Don't know whats happening.
If you can help me that would be great.

 

I have managed to get everything back down to size now so that's okay.
That just leaves the slow dial up connection.
Thanks

 

Click on My computer, dial up networking folder, right click on your ISP dialup, select properties, server types, only have "enable software compression" and "TCP/IP" checked. Do this while not connected. Make a note what is checked before you change.

 

Thanks for the instructions for slow connection - it worked so everything seems okay.
Thanks for all your help.

 

Glad you got it back.
