We have a computer with Microsoft Windows XP Home edition and the browser
stops working after about 5 minutes.

We took the computer in and the network card tested OK.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing tthis?

Thanks in advance

Have you accounted for what exact format they are actually in?

Segregate the ones that give you trouble and
put each one into the drive, right click on the
drive icon and click properties.

An empty drive shows "unknown", some show CDFS
and there are various others.

  Classic screensavers

I've downloaded a few old Windows 3.0 screensavers. I'm able to test
and configure them (yep, they do work!), but they won't install. Is
there anything I can do to get them to install? Do I need to download
additional "dll" files? Please let me know. I love these old
screensavers.

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example (specific to your case):
A google search for
x86 or x64 "Windows XP"
http://www.google.com/search?q=x86+or+x64+%%22Windows+XP

(Windows XP is in quotation marks in the search because I wished to keep the
words "Windows" and "XP" together and only return the web pages that
contained the exact phrase "Windows XP" in it.)
