Thank you Thank you. I was suspecting the problem was HP. But my system was showing me some weird results. See below.

I haven't had real low results this afternoon but they are not really where I want them. Thanks for all your help. I will visit this site often. Kinda stuck w/sat internet. I'm in the boonies.

Thanks for the reply - Yeah I've had it for more than a year but was never really happy with the speed - advertised at 500+ but under normal conditions I get 300. I've had all the stuff cleared out spyware,etc for quite a while now and there are no oddball processes running now. Running MS XP sp2. Took off the antiviirus crap the Mcaffee sold me a while back. System has been running well. All started when I tried to download an HP printer driver package from the Support website, I couldn't install the printer software either. Stalls out in the middle. The downloads from HP slow down steadily and eventually would get to 0 if I let it. This is very strange. Thanks.

Help ! What has happened to my system. I can't download anything without the system slowing down exponentially. Then the system comes back. I did the satillite test and was at 12 kbpsdown and 800(yeah) up!!! Tech support ran everything on it and it did ok. As soon as I tried to download a file from HP it sowed to the point where it stalled out. Been like this for two days. Cleared all temp files out - still nothing. What gives?? I'm no expert so be kind!! Dave Peterson
