I don't know if you need to use this but here is a link to a Sys C: command http://www.computerhope.com/syshlp.htm#01

Theres a discussion on speed of light vs speed of electricty in the topic below & some links from that topic: https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=5281.0 http://amasci.com/miscon/speed.html http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=21012002-050849-5927r http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_13/3.html

pitbull481: You may still have the 98 setup in your XP.I don't have XP so I'm not sure.You should have an options file Or if it has a different name in XP .The file that has the windows install .cabs It may be in the install folder instead of the cabs folder.There should be 2 files setup.exe check properties it may be for XP.Look for one named W9XSETUP.BIN if you have it rename it W9XSETUP.EXE.Then if you have it run the setup it should install windows 98.I don't know how well this will work over XP but if it doesn't you can reformat & install XP or the w2000 from disturbed.I think w2000 is going to work a lot like XP on the older PC.

cak46 the Kaspersky I gave the link to is all online it does a DL to your OS like trendmicro does but I guess it doesn't remove what it finds.I just thought if there is a trial version 99RAT might use it & just not purchase it.Probably wouldn't hurt to uninstall his current antivirus if thats what he does.

MSN search looking for modem tests.

69 RAT I didn't know the Kaspersky didn't get rid of the viruses because it always found 0 viruses in my OS.Sorry about that.At least it found some the other antiviruses didn't.I think they have a trial verson of their antivirus not the online one.

cak46: I was over at the movies topic I think I know how you figured out redlof & folder.I understand about the viruses better .I am always trying to learn more though. Basically they need to be invited in like a vampire.

cak46 : I think I understand.The redlof virus lies dormant until the right type file extension shows up then it infects it.Other virus do the same just to different extensions.The redlof goes after .vbs, .htm ,etc. Because it is an older style virus it may not have still been in the trendmicro definitions thats why it could infect an antivirus program file.I read the link it talked about .com &.exe but it would be the same for whatever file the virus was designed to attack.

I think archiving them is OK .You might think the response is low on some topic but it might be just what someone else needs.

ccr1958: coknuck does own Louisana you can see the state borderline around his property.

Hey cak46 Spyware Blaster is a preventer It doesn't scan & remove .It stops from spyware from getting in .You say the

I didn't take the closest shot so you could tell better the blured area.This was taken with Google maps not Google earth.The closer shot just looked like a bad picture.This is Pantex DOE Nuclear Weapons Assembly Plant : now mostly disassembly.How do I know ? its only about 20 miles from me.

Hey 69RAT : This is a link to the Hamms song http://www.beerchurch.com/audio/bHamms%20Beer.mpga This site has the Bear whiz shirts they don't have the exact one I have .The one called Summer has the same picture as mine But a different slogan.Mine was probably made for Eagles Nest lake in NM. http://www.eagletshirts.com/store/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=6

69 RAT:I think one of the large breweries has bought Hamm's so it should be more available.I remember the song & the bear that did the commercials.Personally MGD is what I drink.I havent heard of Red,White & Blue but I'll give most beer a try.I even have a Tee Shirt that says"Bear Whiz Beer brewed nightly in Eagles Nest lake" It has a picture of a bear pissing in the lake on the front.

cak46 : I checked the link to MS out.Unless I missed something those disks are for XP home edition.Thats what Randon thought it was at first

if you type netstat ? it will list your options for netstat commands.

Randon on the RAM at first Just look & see if its clipped Or locked in place securley.FallowEarths instructions for checking it are good.Since she doesn't have any origional disks try & download some of the disks at the links in my previous posts.Specially the 4 setup disks.

I found the same site for dialup modems when I first got online.It's a pretty good site when you're a newbie.

tennesseeme :I'm not being a hard case

You have to be a SBC telephone customer to get the DSL deal.I filled out their form to check on it.I got the response I expected "not available in your area".btw I am a SBC telephone customer already. My distance from the telco is too far for DSL 26600 ft I already knew that.

69 RAT & cak46 ; The AL? were the errors I was talking about .Looks like 69RAT checked them out.This is a Kaspersky online scan in the link below .It's kind of like Trend micro's scan.It might not be any better but it could find something.Its free . http://www.kaspersky.com/beta?product=161744315

Mactron the adapter looks like a good idea.Unless

JustinPO: You said you put a filter back on the "bad" phone if you haven't already tried I would unplug that phone cord & all. After that move your PC as close as you can to your main connection(probably not the one in PC your room) . Connect only your PC to it no phones or other PC's if this corrects the speed problem then it's not your PC or modem.Its somewhere in the house wiring,Like a bad filter ,phone jack,phone even if it is filtered,router anything else that might be connected.Unplug cords & all from the phone jacks because a phone cord can be bad.If its not your PC after you connect directly try it from your room with everything else still disconnected.If you still have good speed there then add items back on the phoneline until you find the one causing the problem. If your PC has bad lag connected the problem is in your PC or modem.Unless its in the phone companies wiring to the house..Do you have more than one PC in your house? Does the other PC have the same problem if you have another one?

69 RAT: Do you think the errors Trojan Hunter found could be part of the problem?
