it downloaded suprizingly fast when I downloaded it.-nite_monkey (May 14, 2009, 08:21 AM)
I am wondering whether eboostr (www.eboostr.com) with its cache mechanism could also be applied with benefits here ?Dunno, I wish I knew wtf that application really does - there's no technical explanations (that I've found), so it sounds like a bunch of marketing snake-oil to me. That app probably won't be able to use the high physical memory anyway.-MerleOne (May 12, 2009, 06:55 AM)-f0dder (May 12, 2009, 07:11 AM)
I am using it and haven't noticed a lot of disk activity - in fact it seems remarkably quiet and has almost no impact on day to day computer use.Good to know. I'll try it if I cannot manage with Rising and if I can't get Avira to correct this.-Carol Haynes (May 07, 2009, 08:24 AM)

Still factor 3.5 for USBDLM.-scrolllock (May 07, 2009, 03:50 AM)
Try www.avast.com - the do a free home version and it is excellent and low impact on your system.-Carol Haynes (May 06, 2009, 04:22 PM)
On first view USB Safely Remove might be easier to use than USBDLM but it takes by far more memory.
@superboyac: All you need is XP SP3. It fixes the problem at least for new drives.-scrolllock (May 07, 2009, 01:14 AM)
If your network-adapter is on your motherboard, then you can disable it in the BIOS.Thanks. I think I saw something like that in the BIOS settings, but disabling it at windows levels makes it easier to renable it when needed without a reboot.-pbroll (May 06, 2009, 02:31 AM)
Somewhat good news then
UPnP can be disabled in the service management screen from Windows. Don't worry about disabling this service, it is not really required.
Sorry, I had to use Google to find out about the FD-ISR software. Myself I use regedit to export my complete registry as txt file before I install any piece of software. After installing I create a new backup and use a Difff program like WinMerge (open source) or Beyond Compare 3 (worth every penny you have to pay for it) to check for differences.
Works relatively fast and does not have to cost you any money.
How did you disable the network card, if I may so boldly ask? With more than one network card you have a multi-homed PC and it is possible that your PC requests for an updated list through the normal network card (depending on the way the card is disabled of course).-Shades (May 03, 2009, 06:01 PM)
By the way, does your new PC have one or two network adapters (for example: wifi and cable)?Yes. I use Wifi and have desactivated the ethernet connection.-Shades (May 03, 2009, 01:52 PM)
Have you tried http://kb.monitorwar...nt-id-8032-t529.htmlNot yet, but I will. What troubles me is that I am almost sure that the problems comes from the new pc, not from the existing network, because the same think happens when I try to connect to another network. And the indicated solutions mention modifying all machines.-Carol Haynes (May 02, 2009, 12:54 PM)
You have by any chance a Linux PC that is setup as a Samba server?Thanks. Alas I just have home versions : XP & Vista, no single pro/server, and no Linux.
With server I mean a server edition of the Windows Operating Systems (Windows 2000 and up).-Shades (May 01, 2009, 06:57 PM)
So the basics work, but Windows itself is the problem. By using WINS in my mixed (Windows/Linux) network the updating of available PC's (and their name) in the network goes a lot more smoothly...but still not perfect.
Now I know that the 'Computer Browser' service is responsible for getting and updating this list. Here is a link that provides a lot more info about this service and how to troubleshoot it. Likely you will have to download a Resource kit from Microsoft, but those are free as far as I know.-Shades (May 01, 2009, 01:22 PM)
Have you tried turning off the Windows firewall?Yes, no improvement, plus I get the system security warning (the little red shield). Thanks.
Turning it off magically solved our VNC problems here at work...-Edvard (May 01, 2009, 07:02 PM)
