Your computer will only run as fast as your broadband connection, try deleting your cookies and internet files,...there is no way to stop your internet connections from failing this happens sometimes.. to check your computers connection speed, while on line go into start ..connect to and click on your connection this will tell you the speed

i'd run a virus scan just to checkyou said your internet fails, do you have a wireless connection? if so you may wanna check to router or modem, that may be why it takes that long to get the internet up

havent checked other answers yetbut try installing winxp, also reduce the boot up loadload as few programs as possible in booting upensure it by running msconfig.exe rest all depends on wat all applications you hav installed
