What did you change on your computer around the time the problem started to occur?
And when you say you tried everything in the article, this includes the steps with cfg, right? |

You mention a dial up connection, did you ensure that you are still properly connected to the internet when these problems arise (e.g. by navigating somewhere you've not been before in the browser)?
|
In response to Schnitzelnagler
|
|

Please go to Start->Run and type: cmd
then do: ping hub.byond.com also try: ping byond1.byond.com If those fail, try the command: ipconfig /flushdns and then redo the ping tests. Report results here. Thank you in advance. |

Strange, it should not change anything, it was simply for diagnose.
This would indicate issues with your internet connection, similar to mine, where sometimes (with me depending on the weather) it breaks down to very, very slow. |

No....Freaking.....Way.the problem isnt fixed D: its only let it download resources! but it goes blank when its quarter way done!

|
Which, like I said, is an indication of a bad connection (high packet loose, low transfer rate).

|
|

Well, you never posted the ping results, so, I couldn't judge this.
|
In response to Schnitzelnagler

|
