x_6985381: What OS does your workink PC have? If it 98 to ME go to Control panel in it AddRemove Programs there is a tab "Startup Disk" Select it & select create disk. This should give you a start up disk that will let you get to DOS where you can run the scanreg/restore.

x_6985381: Here are a couple of things to try If they don't work I have another one. Go to Control Panel AddRemove ProgramsInstall|Uninstall here you should find your IE program Mine is Microsoft Internet Explorer SP1 and Internet Tools highlight it click the AddRemove button. This should bring up a window giving you 3 options select Repair Internet Explorer. If that doesn't work try going to MSDOS type cd at the prompt hit enter then type

I know the 2 above are DWords I was asking about the other tweak Class=1 LocalPriority = 1 HostsPriority = 1 DnsPriority = 1 NetbtPriority = 1

Are they D words or Binary Values in XP mine are Binary Values in Windows ME.In Windows ME only the DWord has a hexadecimal setting. The examples I have seen on the web tweaks look like this:

mrkcee: These work better on my OS

I think that will work if we can figure out which direction it should flow through the Kanuter valve.

supersteven; Test your speed if it is still slow try my suggestions below. This long topic was on a problem named Lsass.exe which is simular to isass.exe.Their were some indications that it was sometimes a virus & sometimes not.Even that the noncorrupted file was supposed to be there. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=5802.msg55012#msg55012 I would try exiting or closing programs one at a time until I saw the speed improve the last ones being the firewall or AV & definately not both of these at the same time.It might by a good idea to at least temporarily install another AV to use when you exit your regular one.

supersteven; I don't have a exact diagnosis but it has to be one of your start up programs that doesn't start up in safe mode.Its probably using a lot of your resourses you just need to figure out which one it is ,If this is a recent problem its probably a program you installed recently.

TraNsEdgE 01 :ROM-DOS

Check these 2 MS articles have you tried these to fix a corrupt system? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747/EN-US/ START

On a FIOS modem that connects directly to a FIOS cable how does it connect to the PC? I don't know myself .Do they have a PC that has the capability of a optical cable directly from the modem to the PC.Meaning the PC receiving its data completly optically.

Can a PC process data at light speed ? If it can't then slowing down the light speed to 1/3 might allow 3 times the data transmitted over the same cable Each to a different user there by cutting network congestion .

mrkcee : To start with what is your OS?Do you have AV & spyware programs?

ROM-DOS; This definately looks like the future technology to go with.I have always thought the light spectrum could be devided into a infinite amount of (colors or frequencies) which ever you prefer & each capable of carring a certain amout of data. I think that lasers manipulated this way may be the treatment for various cancers & diseases .Kind of StarTrek but I was influenced by this watching the transporter beam & their medical scanners.

GraffitiSkys: In this topic I only see 1 testmy test posted & 1 NDT test .I haven't checked your stats. Try checking out the links posted. Edit: I checked your stats you have a total of 4 DL tests all the same day Sept.29,2005.

This router doubled my speed.

I made my prediction here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=8398.msg81978#msg81978 "I'm going to make the first prediction for 20000 it is Feb. 11, 2006"

GraffitiSkys : Why don't you take a new test instead of posting the same one.Did you do the steps in the sticky VanBuren posted? There is another sticky as well. Read this topic by FallowEarth http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=6025.0

shakka: You need to stop flaming members.If you are using something new & most haven't seen or used it don't expect everyone to beleive the results.Below is a link to a cached test done on my regular 56K diap-up modem .Do you really beleive that this is an accurate test?So if your results are correct then

I would contact Microsoft & ask them .There should be tech support for this. If thats not possible then uninstall the SP2 probably in the addremove section of control panel.Then sfc /scannow. Then reinstall SP2 .The reason I think it says its not the version installed is SP2 changed some files If I understand how SFC works it compares the current files with the original files & restores the original files.

Hi mach_one_man; Welcome to the forum.I have dial-up & I hope some with DSL will respond.I still think its a line problem & the signal quality drops at times so you disconnect.Your distance is a problem & it suprises me you get the speed you do at times.When you disconect is it raining? Could there be tree branches touching & moving the line anywhere along the route to the telco?I don't know are there load coils on the line I will bet there are on the phone side of the line these are data killers that are necessary for voice quality.I have 3 on my telephone line & I'm 26800 ft from the telco. Next how old or new is the NID( network interface device) otherwise known as the box on the outside of your house? Is it protected from the weather ? I know its supposed to handle weather but protect it better if you can.Do you have a good ground rod & heavy guage wire to the ground rod from the NID. Here are a few things you can try run your PC from the master socket for a while to see if you still get disconnected.Wire the extension & all inside phone cable with at least cat 5 cable

Paschendale; ROM-DOS has Xp so he can probably help you the most

The one I posted above was "hostperm.1" .I think you are correct & it is probably a spyware block file in fire fox. Just wanted to ask do others wit FireFox have the same file?

lorne;I looked for the Host file (windows ME) what I found was a HOSTS.SAM,&LMHOSTS.SAM these seem to be sample files the HOSTS.SAM looked like your example. I also found a hostperm.1 which was a FireFox Mozilla file this is a copy of it: # HTTP Permission File # This is a generated file!

xxxtoolbar.com Is this file supposed to look this way? There were a couple that are inside Spybot S&D I'm sure they are supposed to be there. I agree with organ_shifter on the system restore folders .You need to reboot after disabling these. One warning this deletes them & new ones are created when you reenable but if you need a system restore from before you disabled system restore it has been deleted.

When I have this problem I get out my Presto Hotdogger & cook them up.
