Hi Rapunzel,

Not sure when this topic was written, but i have had a similar thing happen to my system, I'm running vista 32 with 2 GB RAM
and using a USB modem connection. As other people have stated, and if you are running IE, then go to control Panel> Internet Connections and clear All. make sure the box is unchecked as you don't want to delete add-ons or settings. if in FF3, goto tools> advanced and click 'clear now'.
Alternatively it may be that your computer is running too many processes/start-up programs. none essensial progammes can be shut down by right clicking and choosing Exit or close.
Hope this helps. (oh if you are using a registry cleaner such as Ccleaner, in my opinion it's best to uninstall it as it does cause problems within the registry which can slow your PC down.)
