O.M.G. Not bad for a 3000/256 connection. This was immediately after removing over 300 spyware that the new MS program detected.

bigw, the idea was to get your computer scanned to see what you need to look for, not to necessarily buy from those sites. Did you use the "4allmemory" site for a scan? If necessary, go to one of the price comparison sites to get the best prices and service. Be sure and read the feedback from customers at each site you consider. One site that comes to mind to help you find the best price is at http://www.nextag.com

bigw, go to this site http://www.everest.com and download the program called "everest home edition". After downloading, look to the menu links on the left of the screen. Click on +computer and expand the selections, then click on "overclock". After the overclock screen appears, arror down to SPD memory modules to see the who, what, how, and whys of your current memory in your OS. Also, as you'll see once you get into the site, there is absolutely nothing that you can't find out about your system. Then, when you get ready to order new upgrade to your ram, go to either http://www.crucial.com or http://www.4allmemory.com,and scan your system with either or both. Both will tell you exactly what and everything you need to know about upgrading memory.

Just doubled my ram from 256 to 512 and am getting 3200 to 3600 kbps ever since on a 3000/256 connection. Would addl memory be the reason? If so, I'm going to 1g of memory tomorrow. :::..

Just received my charter bill and they upped it an addl 10.00 with no addl services. Maybe they'll get around to giving us something for the 25% increase in the Fairview Hgts Illinois area. Can't say they didn't warn us. Aren't monopolies on HSpd cable great?

Glad it worked Rotoruda. Like I said in previous post...it almost drove me nuts until I found the fix. Still lots of folks out there that are having the problem. You can help me and the other guys keep an eye out for those folks looking for the fix. It is particularly handy for those folks (like me) who doesn't have their operating system cd.

65 and proud of it considering the alternative. Oh well, time for my nap...see everyone later.

Thanks for the welcome my friend. My upload averages 30-31 kb's. About normal for Charter I hear. As for the download speed, the average is 2500-3500, depending on when I test it. You lost me on the 3mb test question...is there a place on testmy.net to specifically get a 3 mb test.

Sorry everyone, but the correct link to automatically correct your system32autoexec.nt problems is at http://www.tech-forums.net/computer/topic/29806.html. After the home page of the site surfaces, arror down and click on the link for your operating system.

Rotoruda, don't know if you're still having your problem but a fix is at: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/35139/. This will give you a zip file to download (with option to select system) and enter into "system32". You can kiss your autoexec.nt problem goodby. It had almost driven me to tears
