Loaded,
In addition to DC's good suggestion....
Whenever posting questions on these forums, please give us as much information as possible about your computer. We neeed the operating system, processor speed, amount of RAM installed, the EXACT error message you are receiving, in your case, it would sure help to know the type of internet connection you are using, plus anything else you can think of which might help. (Has this type of problem just started or has it been an issue for a while?, etc.) The more information you can give us, the better informed our answer will be.
Hope this helps and let us know.

Sure no problem, I'm using windows xp, 2.4GHz processor, 256mb of RAM, I dont remember the exact wording of the message(sorry for any inconvience)and i use ISDN from charter pipeline. This problem just started up. Like a newb, I altered some processes with some info attained from Black Vipers website hopeing to
get some better performance from my pc. This in turn added annoyance to another problem involving
an "iexplore" error message saying it couldent find the add(again I dont remember the exact wording:( ). With this new problem whenever I used the internet, windows error reporting system would close it down. This is when the "couldent find add" message appeared and shut IE down. I solved this problem by using Kazaa and entering IE from there, once doing that I searched additional forums and found a thread giving me the answer to this annoyance. It said to go into internet options, advanced, browsing and uncheck enable third-party browser extensions. I did this and it solved the
Iexplore problem, this is when my dowload problems started. I'll try downloading the file again and get that error message back to you. Sorry for the lack of specs.

I never found a way to fix that problem... Even the "paid for" version of Juno would cause such problems if left unattended.. There are utilities which might help.
Here's one that I found on Google:
http://www.dirfile.com/freeware/disconnect.htm
Plus check these settings on Internet Explorer:
* Go to the Start menu and choose Settings, then click on Control Panel
* Double-click on Internet Options
* Click on the Connection tab
* Click on the Alphalink connection you are using under Dial-up Settings, then click the Settings button
* Under Dial-up Settings, click the Advanced button
* Make sure that "Disconnect if idle for xx minutes" is NOT ticked
* Make sure that "Disconnect when the connection may no longer be needed" is NOT ticked
* Then click OK, OK again, and OK once more.
Hope this helps.
