Weird problems w/ internet connectivity

Sep 9th, 2006
I'm using Win XP Media Center Edition on a Toshiba laptop, and there are some weird things going on here. It all started, when I installed a performance booster, after saying a thousand times to mysef, that i'll never use such programs... Anyways, I installed it, i made it boost the system, and i didn't like it. I wanted to undo the things it did, but there was no backup or anything like that. So i simply uninstalled it, and after that the problems began. First the Mozilla Firefox didn't want to load pages. I wrote the adress, i picked it out from the bookmarks, or i used a link, it simply didn't load anything. I rebooted, and since that i didn't have problems with Mozilla, but no p2p download program would work. Until this BitLord and DC++ worked more than perfect, now they're just dumb memory eaters. And I tried Asureus and BitComet, and Utorrent, and now i'm so pissed off, that i'm determined to solve the problem and not install anything for a week - it really gets boring after a while. Please help me!

Major solution: Uninstall all P2Ps, as nearly all have imbedded software (even if they say "no imbeds", its still imbedded, i promise)

Other then that, ahve you tried system restore?
Now if ya like the help ya could always raise our reputation...

I'll have to check if system restore is available, and try that, thanks, and uninstalling p2p programs is a nice alternative too. Would a registry scn help also?

No, I don't think so. What the performance booster probably did (if it even did anything) was probably clean the registry, which was sort of your problem.

If you want a good overall cleaner, I would recomend CCleneaner.

However, I would first try to access system restore.
