I hate to dupe of the DIY board, but I'm trying to do research on this thing and it's suddenly crapped up on me.

Connection is slow. Like, real slow. Downloading at 14k modem slow.

When I do a ping command to www.yahoo.com I get

bytes =32 time =38ms ttl=241
request timed out
bytes= 32 time = 37ms ttl =242
bytes= 32 time = 37ms ttl =242

I can't even ping arfcom.

I've run ad-aware, scanned with AVG, hell I've even turned my firewall off. Ran HiJackThis! and came up with this

power everything off
power on the cable/dsl modem, wait for the lights to stabilize
then your router if you have one, wait for the lights
then your pc

not being able to ping arfcom has been a normal occurance for me for a long time
the protocols and packets ping uses are starting to get blocked by a lot of routers these days since they can be used by hackers, so unfortunately it's not as good as a diagnostic tool as it used to be

[#3]

cpu usage fluctuates between 2 - 15% in loading a page (that seems high for my ssytem)

totals
handles - 7869
threads 387
processes 32

physical memory
total 1048048
available 665000 - 690000
system cache 273560

Just one user (me)

Thanks!

you may have a memory leak. your system totals look close to mine so you may have a memory leak or something running that is hidden. How many programs do you have open in the tray and how many problems on the task bar. I also would suggest a disk clean up and a defrag.
