Does anybody have any idea why? I can only upload really small files (I tested with a 180 byte .txt file) Could it just be the isp is having a bad day?

Hello, and welcome to the forum,

I am sorry for the non reply to your HJT logs posted on 2nd and 11th Jan. '08. The forum is extremely busy so I suggest you go to this link and post a gentle reminder including a link to your second HJT log post.

Regarding your last post re your uploads, are you on Broadband or Dialup and are you sure you mean up load and not download?

kind regards,

[lordofthefood1]

I decided to just try AVG, it solved most of my problems on that front.
(I doubt AVG caused the problems for my internet, although I didn't notice it until trying to upload pictures yesterday.)



I'm going to try another computer in my house to see what it is at.

Another computer in my house downloads at the same rate, but uploads at 310 and has half as much ping.

maintenance program? Anyways, yesterday I discovered that I could upload just fine, but come today, I couldn't again.

Hi lordofthefood1,

Maintenance Program =

What following software programs are installed on your computer?

Firewall
Antivirus is AVG as you mentioned this
Antspyware software
Cleanup Utilities

Wondered if you did the following as suggested in an earlier post

Go to start>all programs >accessories >system tools> disk clean up and follow the prompts. This will clear/cleanup your temporary internet files.

Please post back with more information so we can guide you after we know what software you have installed.

kind regards,

[lordofthefood1]

Oh, well, I use the "windows" firewall and ad-aware for antispyware I tried your suggestion, but it hasn't done anything to help my cause. just a side note: disabling the firewall and everything doesn't do anything either.

Hi Again,

I am sorry I have not been able to help you so far. I suggest you run the following scan which will give us a good overlay of your computer and that way we can help you further. No personal information is shown in the Techexpress link.

Please Run the PCPitstop Full Tests, here:
http://www.pcpitstop.com
Register and create a password
Accept the ActiveX component to allow your machine to run the Full Tests
Registering and accepting the ActiveX are both SAFE and FREE.
Full Tests is the first item in the left hand column of that page.

The Full Tests take less than 5 minutes for most machines.
Once you have your Results, please post the TechExpress Link back here into this thread for review.
TechExpress is the last item on the list in the yellow box in upper right area of any Results page.

Caution: During the testing of Video Adapter, a variety of patterns, shapes, colors and text are “flashed” onto the users monitor screen. In the many thousands of daily uses of the PCPitstop Full Tests over several years, two individuals who suffer epilepsy experienced discomfort and temporary dizziness when viewing the flashing patterns.
If you know that you are susceptible to photo driven seizure, look away from your screen during the Video Adapter testing sequence.

One yellow flag that caught my eye "Uploads - Not Tested"

Hello again and well done

Please slowly go through all the customised tech tips by clicking on them one at a time and following what is suggested.

Please post back with an updated pit test after you have completed all the tips and I can then help you further.

Would it be possible for you to secure another stick of RAM? Just to run XP these days takes almost all the RAM (512MB) that you have at your disposal. RAM is the best bang for your buck and you would see a huge difference in the performance of your machine by adding more.

Please also download and install AVG Antivirus software as your Tech Express scan tells us you have no Antivirus installed.

kind regards,

I got my brother to mess around with the computer. Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks for helping. (I had AVG uninstalled because the problem seemed to appear when I had first installed it. I have it reinstalled now.)

[tallin]

Pinky123,

Please start your own thread so you can receive the much needed help. It is not wise to tag onto the end of an old thread as this one is nearly 12 months old.

Enjoy the forum.

Best regards,
