I had this same problem with my computer. I have a Compag with a Celeron processor. I don't know the type of computer that you have but these things worked for me:
1. Go to your system tools and run the system test. The fixed the problem the first time for me.
2. Go to start, run and select misconfig (sometimes programs like AOL or some other software that you have on your computer is hanging up your harddrive). Rerun this process.
3. Upgrade your memory. I added 128 to mine (cost $30 at Best buy). This solved my problem completely. Not only does my internet run faster, my prgrams do not lock up anymore.
