checking up on my own pc after a friend had a horrible bout with various carp**.

little info on key points that bother me.

"deselecting windows" i think ive narrowed this behavior down to yahoo messenger.
1. my current window will become deselected (light grey) causing interrupted typing or fullscreen games to tab out on their own.
2. yahoo msg wont stay logged in on its own. it will lag out and i wont know it until i try to type and have to re log on.

irregular internet connection. some websites are refuse to work properly while others are loading fast and normally.
some of the heavier traffic sites…. myspace……ebay…..amazon…… other lesser popular ones i cant think of off hand…… will not load. and cause my whole internet to drag to a dead stop. ill browse for long periods without problem….. but if i try to load one of the sites all of my open tabs will get stuck loading…… causing me to have to restart my browser (firefox in my case) to get it moving again.

my internet connection otherwise is fine although the speed waviers from slow to fast fairly often.


im aware alot of these problems could easily be outside forces i have to live with….. but if they are internal….. might as well find out.

thanks in advance for any help.
