I recently installed the upgrade prep software that comes with the 
3.0 so I could see what was on the CD-ROM. After looking and reading
what is going on with 3.0 from a users perspective, I decided not to
install 3.0 at this time, but apparently the 3.0 prep installation
altered something in my system's configuration.

I used Microphone II as my communications software, and after installing
upgrade prep Microphone will "loose" the connection during a long
download. For example, if I'm reading a long text document off the net
at some point the program apparently hangs, but if I reconnect to the
comm port, it starts to work again. Its very irritating, and I can't
locate what is causing this problem. Since it worked before I installed
3.0 upgrade prep, I assume that did something to my system. Does 
anyone know what is going on and how do I correct it?

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
