    Hey guys just wondering if anyone else is having this problem latley after installing the SP2.

    I have noticed a real slow down in my browsing even leading up to lockups in the browser or just plain lag. I have it on both my Desktop connected directly to my router and my laptop connected wireless.

    I am trying to see if i can start eliminating things to find the cause of the problem. I am not sure if my Road runner is just getting slow and they might be having problems or if it's my router. I didn't really seem to have this problem before SP2 or it might be that i just missed the issue.

    I started noticing it more during my fantasy drafts where the java window would just lag like crazy. Let me know if anyone has seen this prob. If not i will try a new router and then go to the source with Time Warner if that is not the prob.

    Thanks

    I haven't noticed anything, but they do have the firewall and pop up blocker turned on by default. Turn them off to see if that is the delay you are seeing.

    I didn't notice anything since installed SP2, but if it's Java that causing you problems, try to download the Java Virtual Machine from Sun's website.
