561989 2007-06-23 23:43:00 Looks ok to me. Umm put hijackthis in its own folder run it again tick these and tick fix checked. Close browser/s.

These entries arent nasty tho.

How much ram is installed? XP uses a lot more than 2k.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SoundMan] SOUNDMAN.EXE

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PCPitstop Optimize Registration Reminder] C:\Program Files\PCPitstop\Optimize\Reminder.exe

Uninstall ALL versions of Sun Java. Latest version is in my sig below.

561990 2007-06-24 00:33:00 512MB ram. This is weird Ill reinstall cable modem wooda2 (4837)
561991 2007-06-26 22:02:00 That hasn't helped either. I am getting 67kbs :( wooda2 (4837)
561992 2007-06-26 22:33:00 Could be probs with your ISP. Speedy Gonzales (78)
561993 2007-06-26 23:56:00 when you say your Internet is slow do you mean downloading or is your browsing slow as well.

If you're using Firefox here's a few tips to boost performance.



Make Firefox faster

FireFox Load Time

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30.
This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives


If that doesn't improve anything then maybe try unplugging you're router/modem and ALL cables for about 30 minutes to an hour and then reconnect.

I get this sometimes and usually a cold start for the modem/router sorts the problems... mind you I max out at about 2.5Mbps due the distance between the house and the exchange.

Cheers
