First, you have the old @home software still installed. That can't be good for anything. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get rid of it. Perhaps you could ask in the Software forum »Software

Second, slow loading pictures might indicate a slow computer...do you know the specs of your comp?

Also, try running some speed tests on this site, and a line quality test, to make sure it's not something wrong with the connection. You can find those in the tools part of the site »/tools . Post the results here.

You should take a look at this

»www.microsoft.com/java/xp.htm

Also there is a program on the Rogers help site that will remove all the old @home software for you. I took a quick look but I was unable to find it. I'm sure someone has it bookmarked.

Good luck
