What the hell is this?

[LLv34_Snefens]

 

This has nothing to do with AH, but I found out that running netstatus in offline mode shows the problem well.

I got a dial-up ADSL. Yesterday I suddenly encountered periodic screen stutter whenever I was connected. Small enough not to be noticed when browsing, but VERY noticable when doing anything with moving graphic.
Like the graph shows at time everything is fine and next all hell breaks loose.

There is no apparent activity on the computer or through the connection.

Anyone know what this might be? If more information is needed please ask. This is very annoying.

Thanks,

Snef

I don't know what "dial-up ADSL" is, but it sounds like PPPoE.  It's bad.

BTW, I'm betting dollars to doughnuts that this device is connected via USB.  It's likely that is the cause of some of your problems.  The rest will be because you are running PPPoE which can cause problems.

I called it dial-up because I have to manually connect exactly like I used to do with my analogue modem, only it goes on instantly (when I open up browser, E-mail etc.)
It's not connected through USB. I goes from a network-card in my computer to a DSL-Modem and from there to the router (I think, I only got the danish word for it).
IP is not static.

I got it working flawless again tho. Not sure exactly what caused it, but I took a look at programs running and set to run on start-up: start menu -> programs -> accesories -> system tools -> system information (I don't have english version of Windows, so they might not be called so).
I got rid of some useless programs that was set to run on start-up by uninstalling them from "add/remove". Others also seemed useless, but these was not in "add/remove" so I tried renaming the .exe file that was set to run.

There must have been some sort of conflict with either of those programs and the network-card? because now it works just fine again. I can't remember I installed anything recently, but then again I constantly have to go "clean up" on the computer when my friends install all sorts of rubbish when I am not there.

Side note. How can I remove the programs that are listed there to start. I prefer removing them from the list instead of renaming the file they refer to (maybe causing start-up to be a second slower when Win search for the file  ) I didn't seem to just be able to press "delete" on them.

Thanks,

Try running "msconfig" from the Run box.  It allows you to modify what Windows loads at startup.  Be careful though, you can render your system dead if you uncheck the wrong things.
Some of my favorite things to remove are the COM drivers, as I have no need for them, as I have nothing attached to the COM ports.  I also remove the IDE/ATA drivers as I use SCSI based systems.  
Hope that helps.

When I uninstalled my Logitech Wingman Software ver 3.30, uninstall was
unable to delete a few feelit files, i had to delete them manually under
Program Files\Logitech.......................\..................... so, I
guess they come with the Logitech software

This is a Logitech driver for their new "feelie" mouse which vibrates
when the pointer covers certain icons on the desktop.
You must have the correct hardware mouse for it to function.
