Services.msc, also available by right-clicking on My Computer>>Manage. Services and Applications tab>>services, just shows what services, not programs (mostly) run with Windows. Don't fool with it if you don't know what your doing. Msconfig, show services and programs that start when Windows starts. You only really need to pay attention to the services tab and startup tab in Msconfig.

Welcome to the forums, AgentGOD Have you done any tests here yet?

Welcome to the forums, clm827 Can you post your resuts in a post, and have you read here: https://testmy.net/forum/t-2097 yet?

So it's working again right? One note, if you don't know what a service does, leave it alone. Most of the services are need for windows to work.

If your wireless router is not secure it's very easy for someone close by to just connect to your network. I recommend keeping your network secure not just because it will keep people from stealing your bandwidth, but also let's say they illegally are downloading files or cracking/DoS-ing a website. Those "events" are traced back to your IP address, so you could possibly get in trouble.

It's cached. Yes, really.

I wonder if it's just because it's summer now, but memberships are down a bit this month. It's already the 20th and not even 1000 new members this month. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If something is broken just about all stores will let you return it or exchange it for another of the same item.

Have you tried restarting your computer yet? Most needed services are automatically started when Windows starts.

I forgot to mention in my first post that wireless b cards can slow down g routers.

Welcome to the forums,mzhao You should read here: https://testmy.net/forum/t-2097

If he has any P2P's running they will use a lot of bandwidth. IM's can sometimes use bandwidth. If your brother is using a wirless b card to connect to the g router, I've heard that can also slow down your speed for compatibility.

I've only used Zone Alarm so far. I've never had any problems with it.

I have 2 40Gigs. One Seagate that came with my comp and a Western Digital later. No "funky" noises here. Make sure you buy an at least 7200RPM drive.

That's basicly just a backbone upgrade. It will make the Comcast network as a whole faster. Seeing as though Verzon FIOS is spreading well, I wouldn't be supprised if they do decide to do another speed upgrade in the nex year.

Did you read these 2 threads yet? https://testmy.net/forum/t-2097 https://testmy.net/forum/t-3924 When they tested the speed did they use your computer or one of their laptops?

Actually, both are storage mediums. There are a few different types of memory. Some, like computer memory, BIOS and even some cartridge based video games use volital memory. E.g.: they need a constant power source to keep the contents in memory. There is also non-volital memory which does not need constant power like digital camera memory and other devices that use memory cards or sticks.

Some microwave ovens also use the 2.4Ghz range. You said in your first post that you have 2 routers one b and one g. Are you using both at the same time?

It works for me. Maybe you should try again.
