When I open it to get on the net, the image appears, But takes ages to start working properly.
I've tried using Ctrl + Alt + Delete and get (Not Responding) message, leave things and after a good delay it works for a while then freezes again, and so on.
Would appreciate any help in fixing things
I have win XP Home, only 512MB memory.

First and foremost.... what firewall have you installed ? If it is McAfee, is it set to LOCKDOWN ? If the answer is "yes", then re-set your firewall to standard setting and try again.

Secondly, which ISP ? Is it AOL ? AOL have several security formats installed in their software and this may be corrupting your sign-on options.
