Quick question about win2k.

[zmzhang]

My uncle who lives in California just got dsl via Verizon. I built the computer and it was working fine when he was on dialup. With dsl, when ever he opens up Internet explorer, windows installer popps up and after a few seconds restarts his computer. After restarting, if he opens up ie again, the same thing happens. :| Why does windows do this? I had him disable the win 2k built in auto restart function under startup and recovery.

Thanks

The computer specs that i remember:
Soyo Firedragon
Intel P4 1.7ghz
80gb 7200 rpm Maxtor
256mb DDR2700 (i think)
Nvidia TNT 2
Netgear pci Lan card

That's a weird one.
Is it the "found new hardware" wizard that pops up?

Test this out with different browsers. Also he might think about upgrading IE.

Its not the found new drivers, its the windows installer thing. I'll have him download the newest ie and install it. If i had him install SP2, would that help?

Thanks
