My system is Windows Vista Home Basic, on Athalon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5000 4.00 GB RAM ATI Radeon X1200 series

My IP Provider is BT Internet current download speed is 3.4.
The system will stop responding at will whether I have one tab open or 6 tabs, I wait and some times it retrieves itself other times the BT help auto fix takes over, I then have to follow a series of tasks etc switch off hub and identify wireless useage and then normally I can carry on of for another few hours when same thing occurs?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, I am not very techno minded but am willing to learn?

Thank you

Andrew Smith

You mean your browser 'hangs' and you have to go through several steps to get it going again? Iam not familiar with BT help auto fix. Sounds like this app and the steps were provided as a fix by your ISP? Maybe your ISP is having intermittent networking problems. Happens all the time? Your down/up speeds can vary greatly based on time of day, congestion, server distance etc. Its best to test bandwidth to different server locations and at different times of the day to get a good idea. If you actually meet your ISP's advertised speeds then consider yourself lucky as most advertise only theoretical maximums .

Thanks for your quick reply and advice, the browser actually stops working and this occurs both in Mozilla and also IE. Sometimes it will right itself or the ISP's fix system comes in and you follow a set routine to correct the feed and connection Having spoken live to the Tech y help and used the ISP's online help they seem to get the browser working then will check and ensure the telephone lines are able to carry signal without problems, but the drop out continues daily 4 to 6 times a day I was wondering if I may have some form of bug in my system, have used StopZilla spy ware and scanned, and Norton Virus That's the extent of my knowledge, if there is anything else I can do, would appreciate any help available. Thank you Andrew

Did you tell your ISP it happens 4 to 6 times a day? We can check for any possible malware that may be on board. We will use HJT as a starting point.
There is a download link to HJT here.
Download, install and do a scan. You can post the results in the HJT log forum, I will look for your post there.

Thank you again for your reply I did tell the operator for Tech help that the system is dropping 5 to 6 times daily, but as with BT help its outsourced and depending on the agent its can be hard to decipher the discussion due to language difficultys. The majority of the time the repairs and advice once understood are very good, and usually sort out the problem, which returns within days or same day. I will follow your advice and report the outcome in the forum you have asked me to. Many thanks Andrew

Please post a hjt uninstall list. Like this; start hjt, on the main interface click on ' open the misc tools section' then 'open uninstall manager' then 'save list' save the list somewhere so you can find it. Post the uninstall list in your reply.

Thank you for the advice Shelf Life
I have done the above and restarted
computer after each uninstall.

After I had finished I found I could not connect at all to Mozilla Firefox
and required BT Help card to chase connection failure and fix it,
its working fine now will give it twenty four hours fingers crossed no more drop outs?

Many thanks for your kindness and help.
Much appreciated

Andrew

Since my last reply same problems occur. whether I have 1, 4, or 7 tabs open? If i leave computer say for 5 to 10 mins, the system will go to sleep mode and I move mouse and system re-activates. But either I get 1 or more of the tabs showing page error loading, I hit help from BT Connection and this sometimes brings back browser. Then when using tabs, normally yahoo mail and or Google mail, moving between either or opening and closing emails etc. Mozilla browser will suddenly stop working the screen goes light blue and the browser bar top of screen displays message: That Mozilla is not responding! it will sometimes after a few seconds correct itself but more often than not it stops totally and freezes or it hangs. Usually the only way to get this back is to close the browser down completely, and then restart internet, if that fails sometimes the whole system needs a reboot?

As you can see I seem to be getting deeper and deeper into the mire?

Regards

Andrew

the system will go to sleep mode and I move mouse and system re-activates. But either I get 1 or more of the tabs showing page error loading,
If the machine is in 'sleep mode' or standby then I would expect it to lose its connection to the network. Having it in sleep mode may be turning off or powering down your ethernet card. Running the BT connection help or rebooting brings it back up, something i would think should happen when you touch the mouse or keyboard buy isnt. Sleep mode or standby is something you can change, either the time or turn it off all together.
You might also find power management options in device manager for your network adapter. For now why dont you experiment with changing the time for your machine to enter the mode or turn that option off just to see if your adapter isnt 'waking up' with out some extra help like running Bt helper or rebooting.
Look in start>settings>control panel>power options. Turning it off would be the 'never' option. click 'apply' then 'ok' buttons after making any changes.

I will not be back online until Aug. 16, I wont be able to respond to any reply until then. Good luck.
