FallowEarth Posted August 25, 2006 CID Share Posted August 25, 2006 Looks like there is some latency through the Level 3 network (again), judging from your last trace there. Unfortunately, not much you can do about that. You may be able to gain some speed that you are losing due to software. The best way to start is to go into the System Configuration Utility (msconfig) and disable all the entries under the Startup tab. You may want to copy down which items are enabled before you do this so that you can restore them later. After you have disabled all, apply changes and restart the computer. As soon as you come up, run a speedtest (don't browse around too much, as you have most likely just disabled your security). You should also disable any additional toolbars/extensions on your browser. If you notice that the speeds have now increased, you know that something that you are loading at startup normally is causing you to lose speed. Now you can start up one item at a time, and run a speedtest after you load each one to compare before/after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidsama Posted August 25, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 25, 2006 i did that and it did not help the speed any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted August 25, 2006 CID Share Posted August 25, 2006 If you have disabled all startup items, and your speeds are still fluctuating as much as you have shown from the 2 tests in your first post, then you either have line issues, or spyware/virus issues. Judging from your trace, it is likely a line issue, but you can at least run some scans to rule out the other. Try these: http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan http://housecall.trendmicro.com http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
