Hey thanks for your help guys I really appreciate it, I tried everything that was posted here in the topic and nothing worked so I ended up reformatting the pc, Again thank you guys so much for the help it shows people really care

Hey guys thanks for the replies, Yes I have tried to do a system restore and that didnt work and I have logged in as the admin and that doesnt work either and I also tried the removal program that coolbuster posted but no luck on that too

Hi guys, I am having problems with my Windows Installer and have been having this problem for about a week now, I was gone for the weekend sometime last week, I came home and found out my niece installed a pc game (I believe it was called VSide) then I noticed that after I unistalled the game off the pc I seen that in my Add/Remove Programs I didnt see hardly any of my programs that were installed and also noticed Windows Live Toolbar was installed and everytime I tried to uninstall it it would just pop up right back after restarting the pc and now I am having problems installing programs that I really need because I get this message: But I have tried just about everything to fix this including going into the regedit and fixing it from there and still nothing, I know it has to be something simple but just dont know what it is. Here is a log of HiJackThis maybe there something in there that needs to be removed, Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Yes installing the files over again helped me out alot, Thanks for all the help guys

I appreciate all of the help from you guys, Its really nothing serious in my opinion I just didnt want all my pics saved as a BMP file as it take up more space and jpg is compressed, I will just pop in the WinXP CD and install the files over I guess, Again thanks alot guys

I just finish trying that and still nothing. I tried it with FF and it worked so that means theres somethign wrong with IE 6, I dont use FF and dont plan to either I want to continue using IE 6 so I guess I have to figure out whats wrong with IE

Thank you for the help Sequoia, But unfortunately that didnt work out either

I am using IE6 I dont use FF. I never had this problem til I reformatted my pc last week

I have this problem when I go to save a picture online and it can be any picture it only gives the option to save it as a Bitmap before I never used to have that as it would give me the option to saveit as a JPG or Bitmap and it even does it with GIF files also, Is there any way to fix this?

So TCP Optimizer really doesnt help then? Or Cablenut is just good enough?

I live in the Bronx, NYC

Hmm I guess its ok then to just download/upload away then, Man 100Gigs is alot

I have the Boost package and I didn't even know I get unlimited usage, I was afraid to download/upload alot thinking I was going to get capped but now I know I wont get capped

I tried it and still the same I guess I'll just leave it like that

ok I did it with IE instead of AOL so here are my results :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 13421 Kbps about 13.42 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 1638 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 1751 Kbps about 1.75 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 214 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/09/05 - 12:01am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-5D0491628 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-SK5JIYEF9 User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) [!] WEB100 Enabled Statistics: Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So then always do the speed test using IE then?

^^Yea maybe its that cuz I was using AOL. I tried the speed again with IE just now and got these speeds :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 2677 Kbps about 2.68 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 327 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 1805 Kbps about 1.81 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 220 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 2) Test Time:: 2006/09/02 - 10:17am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-Q3LIXG5OE U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-QFO95E14D User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) [!]

Blunted if you go to page one thats one of my first posts on the speed but I noticed that I have gotten those speeds before but only after midnight eastern time. And no I dont use a firewall at the moment. Here I took some screenshots. Note: its 4:35AM now and I dont get these speeds during the day

These were the speeds I was getting ::::::::::.. testmy.net test results ..:::::::::: Download Connection is:: 49806 Kbps about 49.81 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 6080 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 1805 Kbps about 1.81 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 220 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 2) Test Time:: 2006/08/24 - 12:09am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-2KWV7L8OI U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-CHA9FU1N4 User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

My advertised speed is is 30MB download and 2MB upload there is a very slight and I mean very slight increase of speed and I am paying $15 extra to my $44.95 plan I'll pm you now

Heres my results with the Dual Test :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 49806 Kbps about 49.81 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 6080 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 1805 Kbps about 1.81 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 220 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 2) Test Time:: 2006/08/24 - 12:09am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-2KWV7L8OI U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-CHA9FU1N4 User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; AOL 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) [!] Hmm is that possible even with this speed???

Wow my download speed suck and my upload is the worst and when I called optimum they said they "Capped" it from the network because it is a shared network. They said something about "Throttle" but wasnt paying attention. So my speed drops when they cap it but it I call 4 more times they will send the case to a security team and then from there they will decide wether or not to terminate my service. Since I am always uploading they said they had to cap it. I live in the Bronx also and I had been capped for about 2 months now and the upload speed is the worst I really dont care about my download I care about my upload, I would try to uncap the modem myself but its a big risk im taking there.
