Well, this has happened ever since i bought my compaq. It is a 32 bit Vista. I will turn my computer on and use the internet for about 15-20 minutes, then Firefox pages wont load, same with IE and i know its not my internet because my FPS games work fine. So on a day to day basis i have to restart my computer 4-5 times to barely use the internet. Any solutions to this? I have Zone alarm as my fire wall and have encountered the update thing when you reboot your computer.

i also have avg free anti-virus

Thanks.

Please i need this fixed

Does the Internet work for longer than 15 minutes on other computers?

[J0E_B0BBY]

Yes, my mothers computer, pretty sure its vista, and my grandmothers computer that is running windows 7.

It sounds like your internet provider. IE and Firefox would both not fail.

Could also be just your computers configuration. What type of Internet is it and how do you connect (wireless or ethernet)?

[J0E_B0BBY]

I connect ethernet. And how would if be my internet provider when i still could play Games online?

Have you recently updated all of your drivers for your modem? If you cannot find them, post the modem model in the next post and I can help you find them. Also be sure to download the correct drivers for your system if you can find them. Good Luck

I never even thought of updating those drivers, and i also dont know how. I am pretty sure the modem model name is a verizon actiontec i think. Couldn't really find the name

Hi J0E_B0BBY:

What version of Zone Alarm and AVG you are using?

[J0E_B0BBY]

I am not quite sure how can i tell?

Hi J0E_B0BBY:

To check version information of any program in general

• Open program (GUI)
• Click Help > About
• Please note down information

Is THIS your modem? If so, follow the instructions under the 'Driver/Firmware Updates' section

I found the issue, i just had to uninstall Zonealarm and i installed Comodo as a replacement and havn't had a issue since. Now it sometimes freezes for like 30 seconds. But nothing major
