Thanks for the clarification. It makes total sense. the computer may have been a system that his friend or sister got from work when they upgraded their systems, which very well could have had a proxy set up in Internet explorer. or some malware that he picked up along the way in firefox. I totally ...

Thanks for the replies.... SoM: his provider is COX cable which does not require a log on. Unfortunately for that system it has to be xp. all his pc equipment is hand me down systems and parts. Twisted: I did check for additional firewalls and he did not have any. the only AV software that he had wa...

First let me say that I no longer have access to this system so this question is mostly to see what I missed in trying to diagnose this problem because it is bugging me, and to see if anyone else has run into this type of situation. system: Core 2 duo 2 gig ram xp pro My friend just got a cable inte...

Grats on the new strat..... we need pics. Personally, unless you go money to laying around, used guitars in good condition are usually the better choice. I have a old Kramer F-3000 from the mid 80's that I really enjoy. It is more playable than the fender american strat that my friend bought a few y...

I have a XFX 270x running GPU projects about 4 feet from me and I don't even know it is there. the MB and GPU are not even in a case. I think the power supply fan is louder than the GPU fans... and that is not loud at all either .... I had to literally put my ear right next to each of them to see wh...

My version of...

Thanks for the replies, everything seems to be working correctly now. I did not think that a restore point would trigger that type of response, especially from only 2 weeks ago but I guess it did. Thanks for the links also .. save for future ref.

so, a little background, I have been having some issues with my laptop running really slow yesterday. After much diagnosing, it seems that AVG seems to have been the culprit. The laptop seems to be running smoothly now. AVG seems to have resolved its issues. One of the odd things that I notices is t...

How about a maserati, so I can have some Ted Nugent blasting on the stereo. other than that I would go for the Tesla, or for a budget car I liked my Geo Metro which got 50 MPG without being a hybrid. Anyone remember the EV1?

Check your memory speed and timings. make sure the mem is not being overclocked when at 3.2Ghz. Otherwise I would say the issue lies with the CPU.
