  1. Hi CA3LE, While I got the credit for the solution your link & suggestion sure led me to it. This is a "Warning" I still get in Event Viewer. I thought I would get the "Errors" fixed first. There are some "registry handles" that are not closing. I've tried some suggestions I found on the Internet but none of those worked. So again I will check out any suggestions. This is the information from Windows Event Viewer: Warning 3/14/2024 11:34:34 AM User Profile Service 1530 Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service Date: 3/14/2024 11:34:34 AM Event ID: 1530 Task Category: None Level: Warning Keywords: User: SYSTEM Computer: MY-PC Description: Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services.

  2. I have fixed the SChannel errors. I started with unchecking all of these in Internet Options/Advanced. SSL 2.0 SSL 3.0 TLS 1.0 TLS 1.1 TLS 1.2 This worked to fix the error but my email images were now all the small black box with a X inside. Not what I wanted. So I checked them one at a time & tested with a reboot in between. All need to be checked. But that is not all. I had to go into the Registry & change the settings. This made the settings permanent. This is the registry location. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols Two days now & NO SChannel; errors. This could make my OS less secure. I use Avast email scanner & I do not use IE or Edge. So I believe I"m OK
  3. The second error has been fixed by using the link. Two of the Services settings were already set to Automatic, I set Security Accounts Manager to Automatic. The errors stopped for the second error.. I'm still working on the first one. I checked both browsers I use Firefox & Opera. Both are using TLS 1.3. To add to that I cleared Event Viewer & opened & used both browsers with zero errors. The errors are caused by Windows Live Mail the email client I use. Opening Windows Live Mail does not cause the errors. When just opened No errors. It is when an email is opened the error appear. The errors started some time ago when Suddenlink became Optimum. Optimum left in place the old suddenlink.net as the email addresses for suddenlink email accounts. This may or may not be the cause but here is the information I have: Optimum POP3 Incoming mail server: mail.optimum.net 110, requires SSL 995, non-secure Optimum SMTP Outgoing mail server: mail.optimum.net 465, requires SSL 587, non-secure suddenlink.net POP3 Server pop.suddenlink.net suddenlink.net POP3 Port 995 POP3 Security SSL suddenlink.net SMTP Server smtp.suddenlink.net suddenlink.net SMTP Port 465 SMTP Security SSL Optimim states use 110 for SSL while 995 is non-secure. Suddenlink which are the settings I have states Port 995 for SSL. This is where I suspect the errors come from. Funny thing Windows Live Mail works fine as far as I can tell & I receive all my email as far as I can tell. Even a gmail acountI have coming into WLM. If I find more information I will post it.
  4. Hi all. Seems a bit slow in the forum these days so I have a couple of more consistent errors. They are not causing me any problems except filling up my EventViewer. I have a .bat file for clearing it but it is a daily procedure. If anyone has any information to stop these I would appreciate it. The first is : Schannel Event ID: 36887 The following fatal alert was received: 40. ProcessID=1128 The second is: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7001 ProcessID=1112 Description: The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service depends on the COM+ Event System service which failed to start because of the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. I do have BITS disabled in Services. I plan to keep it disabled .I would like to find a way to stop the error.
  5. CA3LE thanks for combining my posts the .GIF was an afterthought. Since Thanksgiving is finished for this year I thought I would link an old topic, I must have PMed water the complete instructions. I though they were all in the topic but they were not. Any way she followed them close enough & said her turkey turned out well. I've cooked about 36 more turkeys this way since the topic. I wish I still had the complete instructions written. I do not need them for myself but if anyone else wanted them. https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/9268-turkey-time-and-a-huge-waste-of-money/#comment-96374
  6. Same from me . God bless all of you. Don't eat until you explode.
  7. CA3LE, I thought the same. Since I do power all equipment off whenever I go to bed. I worked with this some more & found the cause & a solution. The cause was my OOMA Telo. When starting my modem , router , & the OOMA Telo they are on their own separate Power strip. This is so I can start them first & power cycle them without shutting down my computer if I want to. Then I turn on a different power strip for my computer. What was happening is the OOMA Telo started first and received 192.168.1.2 . My computer Network Card wanted 192.168.1.2 but had to accept 192.168.1.3. As far as I can tell my network card was denied 192.168.1.3 at first then received it. So my computer & network card worked & showed 192.168.1.3 using ipconfig /all . The solution was going into my router. Then using Address Reservation for a higher IP Address 192.168.1.25 for example. I also set the same in the OOMA Telo as a 'Static IP Address". Now no more error shows up even after several reboots.
  8. I get this error warning daily in the Windows Event Viewer. It does not cause any problems. It may be because I turn off power to my modem & router when I shut down the computer for the night. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
  9. CA3LE I decided to install a fresh Firefox portable also. Something must have corrupted this browser also. The fresh copy seems to work for the tests. I ran my antivirus & it did not find anything. So I do not know why the portable browsers got corrupted. For right now the problem is gone. I also tried the corrupt version again & it has the lag problem. So it has to be a corrupt file in it.
  10. The zoom/shrink issue is resolved. For me anyway, I'm using Windows 7 Opera Portable Version: 95.0.4635.84 (32 bit) FireFox Portable version 115.3.1esr still has the pause or lag problem that causes the incorrect speed. I have an older version of Firefox portable 56.0.2 (32 bit) It will not run the beta tests & it sort of runs the original tests. If I clear the Cache it will do one original test then it goes to the beta test. This is when I'm not logged in. If I log in then it goes directly to the beta tests & they won't run.
  11. Thanks CA3LE, I pinged dallas.testmy.net the results in latency were about the same as in the image I posted. So close enough for me. I finally checked out the location under your avatar. I don't know exactly where the problem was but I suspect a corrupt file in the Opera Portable folder. It seems to be doing the tests now without the pause & incorrect very fast speed.
  12. @CA3LE. I placed a fresh copy of Opera Portable in my C folder. This seems to have corrected the weird problem. So maybe a file in the Opera Portable folder got corrupted. I'm using the last version available for Windows 7 : Version: 95.0.4635.84 @xs1 The old folder had no virus when scanned. A Fullscan with Avast also showed zero viruses in my OS. The latency to even Dallas shows more latency than I believe it should in the Download & Upload tests. Using the Latency scan on the forum shows about what a ping shows. That is this ping to testmy.net . I'm not sure of the location to testmy.net when using ping. IDK if you can look at my Latency tests or not.
  13. @xs1 1. The latency is either to Austrailia or India. To Dallas I believe it is OK. I will do a command ping later today to Dallas to some URL & see what it shows. 2. I do virus scans regularly but it has been a wek or so since the last full scan. I'm doing a full scan now just in case. I also scanned the Opera Portable folder first & it had no virus. 3. The trippy behavior is only with Opera Portable & only on my main desktop. I'm putting in a fresh copy today after the full virus scan. I will post some results afterwhile.
  14. This is a video of the odd behavior in my test & CA3LE forum post: TMN(02).mkv Only in Opera portable .
  15. I temporarily installed Brave. I says it is up to date but the version it shows is much older that the latest version. The installer from the Brave website would not install on Windows 7. I got a standalone from gethub. It does not have the delays as far as I could tell. I also did tests with all my computers. What I did notice in Brave & Opera portable is the test results display much smaller. Also Opera has a weird effect on one of CA3LE's posts. The images get very small & then resize & repeat to very small. Here are the two sizes I see in the different Browsers: FF Brave: I took the image light but it is dark when posted. : I will have to take a video of what Opera is doing. It is about the same as the CA3LE post.
  16. I'm not aware of anything like a "download booster" on any OS I have. None of my browsers are supposed to have a built in dl booster. If my ISP uses one they did not inform me. CA3LE, I did some tests with my laptop which is connected wifi. Somewhat slower & still has pauses. Worse on Firefox. All portable browsers on it as well. I will also test my HTPC later today & it is also connected wifi. Also I will test my other desktop it is wired Ethernet like my main desktop. The only browser I found among the top name brand ones that still support Windows 7 is Brave. I did not check Safari & some of the others. I have never used it or checked system requirements but I use Avast antivirus & it has a "secure browser" available.
  17. I like Firefox but I will probably look at Brave & Chrome since Firefox is having the problem. Yes to Windows 7. I have it on 4 computers including my laptop. My laptop also has an XP partition. On my HTPC I have Windows 7 Pro. I also have in a second partition Windows Vista on one computer. Windows 7 & XP Pro on another. I also have my old IBM Pentium mothballed. It has 98SE & XP Pro but it has been 4 years or so since I have booted it.
  18. I was concerned about the .gif. I tested it & it plays well in both IrfanView & MPC-BE VLC did not play it correctly. What I did to get a screen recording was use ZDSoft screen recorder while the test was running. This created a .MP4 video file. I created the .mp4 to a .gif with FFMPEG. I created the .MKV file from the .mp4 with Clever which allowed me to crop it. So it would be a smaller size. You did not say but did the .mkv file polay OK for you. Firefox allowed me to play it with VLC player. Which browser do you want me to install ? I have a software where I can install it in Shaddow Mode so it will be gone when I reboot. That is if installing it does not require a reboot. Also Firefox Portable is my default browser. Located in my C folder.
  19. The TMN.mkv is the same file as the .gif in the post above. I did not try it first because I did not know if it would upload to the forum. TMN.mkv
  20. This is a .GIF file I uploaded to Google Drive. I got an error when I tried to upload it in this topic . I suspect the size is too large but there is no pop up to tell me the accepted sizes of an uploaded file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hD7zpXVgMHjZ3rr48Sf7TNh3rc0Sgde9/view?usp=share_link
  21. CA3LE, I tried the gif.cap site but it would not work correctly for me. It would look like it worked but when I choose "Render" all I get is a white screen with a "Progress bar" that never has anything in it. I let it stay this way last night for about 30 minutes. So if you know what I might be doing wrong I'm open to suggestions. I can create a .gif with software I have but it will likely be too large to post. When I used Opera I did not have the fast speed in either linear or "Start"(multithread). The speeds were very slow in multithread but correct in Linear. At least matched what my ISP is selling me 200MB. The problem seems to be with Firefox. I'm using version 115.3.1esr & it shows "up to date" With Linear tests: The 152MB test still shows very fast & incorrect. The 200 MB test is now correct most of the tests. With Multithread test Last test 2.4Mbps to Bangalore. 196Mbps to Dallas I have tested with both uBlock & my hosts file disabled & the same results. But it does seem to alter the way the Multithread tests runs with a longer pause in the larger tests. Optimum bought Suddenlink so why do the results still show Suddenlink ? BTW Thanks for the new "Original Member" tag. I only check the email I use for this forum ocassionally so I might not have seen the email in time if it had been sent. But it was not. I saw the beta testing topic but I thought you might not be interested in the results for a 200MB connection as most of the beta testers are fasted connections.
  22. CA3LE , I also did one to Australia but it did not show up in "My Results". I will look at the Beta testing. Then figure out how to make the screen recording. I have screen recording software but it does regular video like .mkv. For now here is a list of my browser extensions: My browser is FireFox Portable.(I no longer have an installed browser other than a disabled IE.) Disable WebRTC Forget Button uBlock Origin but on this one all included filters are disabled & it only uses a duplication of my extensive hosts file named My Filter.. Video DownloadHelper I also have Opera Portable but I did not test with it. It has the same extensions & a few more. So give me some time & I will post more information.
  23. HI CA3LE, This is not a big deal to me but I thought I would report it. My max download is 200MB. Most of the servers test fine. Once in a while I like to test a server that is far away. I recently tested Australia & Japan servers. They went fine until the 200MB test. There is a long pause between it & the previous speed test. Then it shows a very high speed for me like 1400+ MB. When I test to Dallas or Colorado Springs servers close to me I get around 190MB. Which I consider correct. Upload speeds are fin at all servers that I tested to.
  24. Just to see what it would detect I tested with my Opera browser set to VPN (Asia). Instead of Suddenlink the results show Oprea Mini. The test still does not show Optimum. I believe this is caused by Optimum not doing all the cleanup they should for the change from Suddenlink. I usually do not test with the VPN on because it is always slower.
  25. Cool on the FREE dial-up. Even more that it always gave you 56K. I was sometimes able to connect at 56K but most of the time less. I never used any dial-up modem that was not 56K. A good friend of mine was into the bulitin boards. He had a modem that he layed the old style telephone headset into. I believe it was 9600 baud but may have been even slower. I got started with the Internet which was later. I listened to 4 of the different dial up sounds on the wiki. I will give the rest a listen to later.
