I have an issue on my AMD 64 machine running Windows XP Professional 64-bit. I can connect to the internet using Yahoo, Myspace, and MSN messangers, but whenever I bring up a web browser (IE or Firefox, does the same on both) it sometimes connects to a web page, and other times times out a massive amount of times before finally connecting and bringing up the page. I can be reading my email on my MSN account and it might load the page, let me sign in, and read a few emails before it starts timing out again. I have tried connecting to a web page with no other programs running, or with multiple, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I thought at first maybe it was a setting on my router firewall, but it does the same timeout delay with my router's web interface, so that brought me to the computer itself. My Wife's computer, running XP Home has no issues whatsoever, and I didn't either on my machine running XP Home until I wiped it and installed XP Pro 64. The only software firewall I have running is the Windows Firewall, and my Antivirus is Symantec Endpoint Protection (Anti-virus only, Firewall was not installed). I run into the same issue with a fresh install with no additional programs installed, so that makes me believe it is something having to do with the OS. The following is the Hardware I am running on my system: AMD X2 6000+ 4GB OCR Gamer Gold Xtreme ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Mobo with NForce Chipset (NForce Firewall not installed either) ASUS NVidia 9600GT 512 X2 SLI 2x 250 GB HD 1x IDE (Storage) and 1x SATA (Master) Soundblaster Audigy Live 24-bit Samsung DVD-RW Dunno if any of that is usefull, but included it just in case. Any help would be appreciated in this matter as I have been bumping my head on the issue for the past 2 months to no avail. |

Even if you didn't install the nVidia firewall some of the things that make it work is running in the background without telling you. The 'fix' is to install the nVidia manager and then un-install it. If I remember correctly, I couldn't browse Internet at all before doing this, there was nothing intermittent about it, so this may not apply, but if I have to re-install any of the drivers from the system CD, I usually still forget this.

And then add to that the fact that approximately 25% of Vista crashes have been caused by nVidia drivers..... ;-) "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie@mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> wrote in message news:EFBA87F7-9805-477D-B9C0-590786910B60@microsoft.com... > goodness, is that thing still causing problems?

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it relies on a basic design-flaw that isn't going away with a simple driver update? It does look to me as if they've put separate dependent parts of the chipset support in different interrelating modules that all have to be initially present, before you can decide what parts to keep and what to leave out. It's a mess, of course, but I wonder if they would feel an impetus towards rewriting the whole thing as it is in fact working brilliantly once you get it right. On my XP x64 at least. Tony. . .
