Internet connection problem
Forwarded to WinME General via crosspost.
-- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Alan wrote: I'm running WinMe and had a hardware crash that wiped out most of the files for Zone Alarm (free ed) and AVG Anti-virus. I re-installed AVG OK but ZA won't re-install, and I got various error messages about VSUTIL.DLL not found. However that file was still in C:\Windows\System with its original date-stamp and I tried replacing it without success. I eventually fixed ongoing error messages at startup by finding and deleting residual files and registry entries for ZA, but it still won't re-install. I also got an error message in Total Recorder at close-down saying it couldn't reinstate missing registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\ InternetAlert \.Current so I added that key manually (with no content) without making any difference. I've also tried re-installing Total Recorder and re-installing Windows. Apart from having no firewall I also have a major problem with Internet connection speed (I am on dial-up), which is normal (about 36K) when I re-boot and first connect with Firefox, then slows down to about 0.05K after a few minutes on-line and everything times out including Outlook Express. Not sure whether it's idle time, number of packets sent or switching sites that triggers the problem. Closing the browser doesn't fix it but a re-boot does. Ping Plotter gives normal response times but a few unreacheable destinations. Local URL's are OK so that might be irrelevant. The Dr TCP settings I can see are also OK. I have run out of things to try. Can anyone help me with other suggestions or registry settings relating to ports, firewalls, browsers and Internet connection that might have been corrupted please? And where can I find the correct settings? It took several re-boots to post this message. |
