Well perhaps, but it's only noon now and I've given up trying to do anything online. When I open a page, I can hear JAWS reading through the percentage loaded (10, 19, 28, 38) and so on, it's just so slow! The laptop which is working wirelessly is still fine, so I guess that rules out a problem with Broadband?

The evening problem could be a red herring as far as your machine is concerned. It may simply be caused by the fact that the kids have come home from school and jump on the internet, followed by their mums and dads later on. George.

Neither side would take responsibility, but the company I purchased it off did send me the replacement RAM to get fitted. I am in the process of arranging to have a further 1GB of RAM fitted so I will have 1536MB. My question is: I am having a lot of problems recently using the Internet. Pages take ages to load and sometimes when I type in an address and press Enter, I get nothing and have to close down it's taking so long. When I use the cursors nothing is spoken and pressing the Tab only reads the address I have typed in. This problem gets worse in the evenings when the computer has been running most of the day. Is this due to the low RAM (512MB) or could it be caused by another problem? I have Eset Smart Security running, so don't think there are any nasties getting in. It's just making any kind of online work pointless. If I knew it was the RAM it would be fine as it's getting sorted in the next few days. Thanks for any advice.
