I just installed the latest ATI Catalyst Control Center and every time I try to play a game and I exit it (enter the game and exit straight away), my firewall blocks a connection to 131.107.115.28 on port 80 (ip whois = microsoft corp).. It wasn't there before the ATI Catalyst Installation.. Any suggestions why this is happening would be appreciated EDIT: Now after allowing it to access the net once, it doesnt try again.. I think I may have found the original source of the attempted connection (the windows service wmiprvse.exe).. Whenever it is not in my task manager, no connections are attempted.. Anyone know why it tries to access the internet? Should I disable it or anything if it is not vital for my system.. It wasn't started or at least it exited on startup and I think I have never seen it in the task manager before.. EDIT2: Sorry about all the follow-ups.. The .exe network service exits after a while and then no connections are attempted, but it starts up whenever I start a game or after I close it (is it vital for the video drivers or the catalyst software?).. It doesn't show the service as starting on boot time in hijackthis (maybe its vital for the system), but it never started before or has attempted to make outbound connections.. Any idea if I should disable it? Thanks in advance for any posts

but you have to buy netlimiter after free trial..

Maybe the server that you are connecting to has a lot of players and cannot handle all of the connections as well.. If you have cable internet, your connection speed may be going up and down depending on peak hours.. I've also heard that if you have Steam, it automatically updates your other games (if you have any other installed for cs) so that my slow your connection too..

what is your advertised internet speed? the average speed of your ISP on testmy.net is an average from all of the tests done by all the users..

I'm getting it now too.. It seems that it kinda 'fixes' itself for a while (previous post of mine) and then it goes bad again..

Verb. Matriculated 1. Enrol as a student I didnt know that

Gaim is an open source program. It supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Irc and Icq I think, or at least the first 4

Its ok now.. Post can be deleted or locked.. Sorry about that.. Should've known that it was temporary..

Whenever I try to do a download speed test, I get this error.. It worked fine before.. Date of testing was August 25.. It worked fine before in the day.. Error is this: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/testmyn/public_html/results_d.php on line 453 Just though I would let you know

DSL is always the guaranteed (advertised) speed.. Cable is shared and speeds vary depending on number of users online.. DSL is not like that

Think of all of the fans and heatsinks that could be supported by this ps.. I bet working temp is gonna be below 0 degrees C..

I used to get speeds close to that (1 or 2 more kb/sec (more like 1 kb/s more)) on my old sympatico dial up connection.. Nice speeds for a 33k

Maybe they want to save users the trouble by making it impossible to quit.. I wonder if that is their idea.. lol

People are going to be able to watch tv with that 1000w PS.. Literally from their TV, cuz they could probably plug it in .. lol

Speeds are still holding up

I dont know about that then.. It worked for me before.. Follow the Microsoft instructions and see what happens

And I only have 300W PS.. I don't even know if it can power an extra 2 80mm case fans.. lol

I'm guessing that its talking about the Windows cd.. Anyways, I also had that problem after installing Norton on a Win2000 machine.. Pressing the Ignore button always did the trick for me

Damn.. And I thought cable was good.. Might think another time before switching ISP's next time

Very nice.. One of those sliding menus from the side I think would be good too, but otherwise thumbs up for a great site!! Good Job
