View 2 RepliesI have recently installed Windows 7 on our two wfi networked pcs. The older of the two consists of a Asus A8N-VM CMS mobo with 3Gb Ram and Athlon 64 3000+ CPU. The second pc has an Asus M5A78L-M LX mobo ithe 4GB Ram and Athlon II X2 Dual core 250 3.00GHz cpu. Both were previously running XP and had no bandwidth or streaming issues. Since loading W7, the older pc is having problems with low bandwidth when playing live tv fromthe BBC for instance, but if XP is started there is no problem at all.
The newer pc streams perfectly and I could watch tv on it all day without it freezing.I have also found that IE9 makes it worse and have gone back toIE8.
svchost is using too much bandwidth. I am monitoring with NetLimiter 3 Pro. For example, from 5 to 6 AM it downloaded 268 MB and uploaded 6 MB. This is a problem since my internet provider sets a 400 MB/day download limit, so in less than 2 hours the limit is used up. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit with SP 1 installed.
This problem started a few months ago. I've had this computer since December. I'm having the same problem with my wife's computer (Windows 7, 32-bit).
I have checked for malware with Norton 360, Webroot, Windows Defender, and a few other freebee programs. Other than a few cookies with low threat levels and "Power Reg Scheduler" there was nothing there. I have removed these few items. I have also run Wisefixer, that fixed over 200 supposed registry errors. None of this has had an effect.
the screen will get very dim at the windows icon where it pulses against a black background..could this indicate I need a bigger power supply? (I read that somewhere recently, hehe)When I use my iphone, xbox, or any torrent program, my computer slows down and my mouse stutters for lack of a better term. It waits a few seconds before jumping to where ever it was that I moved my mouse. This is stopping me from using the computer when I watch netflix or anything else where data is being transfered. I'm not sure what Hijack This found, but here's the log it provides and if there's anything else I need to post, just let me know where to go and I'll post it here ASAP.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter installing a new Virgin Superhub and finding I had internet access I thought that everything was working fine but later on this morning I found out that my Home Network ie wifes pc and the broadband connection to my main television set was offline. After googling a while and finding an article at the Virgin Media site I found out that the Default setting when installing the virgin superhub was as a router which meant that it had blocked off my Buffalo Airstation router and hence the no internet on secondary PC and TV. I had to enter the admin pages of the Virgin superhub and re-install it as a cable modem and when I eventually rebooted my system, and after a couple of tweaks I finally had my home network up and running again. I use Comodo Dragon as my default browser and a couple of hours ago I noticed a slow up of my main Win7 OS PC broadband connection which shouldn't really be as I have upgraded from a 10Mb connection to a 30Mb connection and my internet has seldom hung like this. It seems to be an entry of svchost.exe that is causing the problem. I did a scan with Process Explorer screen shots below. The svchost entry with PID 1892 is linked to "Local System Network Restricted" and to the service Superfetch. On the Comodo CIS Summary screen at the same time I saw that even though Comodo Dragon is running it is not shown and again svchost is using 90+% of my bandwidth. And when checking the Firewall Events screen I saw that some of Comodo Dragons functions had been blocked.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFrom the past few weeks or so, I am on a limited data plan (10 GB per month).When I browse the internet for an hour or two (usually Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and some forums), my data exchange for that session goes to around 700-800 MB. I'm pretty sure something is wrong with it. Simple browsing can't consume so much of data. I have Windows Auto Update turned on, but I don't think that the updates would be so large. Earlier I was on an unlimited plan and so I never checked the amount of bandwidth used.my brother has recently opted for an EDGE plan and gets very low speeds. How can I help him increase his browsing speed? Even he doesn't downloads much but is a heavy internet browser and is extremely irritated with the slow speeds he gets.

So is there a way to remove the bandwidth limit in windows 7?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there are any way to test the speed/bandwidth of an SD card with built-in Windows 7 utilities/diagnostic software?
And in the absence of that, what are the best (and safest) freeware utilities to do this test?
I'm not having a problem with my machine, simply want to figure out which of my SD cards are the slowest and fastest so I can decide which to use and when.
What I'm trying to do is combine the bandwidth from 2 different internet connections for extra speed. I'm hoping to do this without a dual WAN router as the modems are in 2 different rooms.
I have a connection from Comcast which runs through my Belkin Wireless N router, to which I am connecting wirelessly. I also have a DSL line through Centurylink and I am hardlined directly into the modem.
I have tried bridging the WLAN/LAN but haven't seen any difference. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate X64
heres a pic of the down speed when i watch a Internet video
i dont know if this is a normal thing but it makes videos load a lot slower. even if i limit the speed to 200 - 150 it still goes down to 20 every 5 sec. this is also a problem when i'm gaming and another simply browses the web.
ps: when i downloaded bf3 on origin the speed remains on a constant 300kb somehow. but when its on steam it still fluctuates
- i disable internet access on my pc and use connectify and create a virtual hotspot,
- then i use my ipad (the device i want to transfer files from my pc to) and connect it to that virtual hotspot
- i use the program Phone Drive on my ipad, it has wifi sharing feature, it gives me the http:// and ftp:// addresses. i know these things, i can either use http:// address in my browser or ftp:// in any ftp clients, then i transfer files easily,
- when i copy files from my ipad, my pc actually downloads the files, not copies the files, likewise when i copy files from my pc to my ipad it actually uploads the files, not copies. and this is why i disable internet access before i create virtual hotspot because i don't want it to use my bandwidth (or data).
- and HERE'S MY QUESTION: does it actually use bandwidth when i upload or download, if it does not, then i wouldn't need to create a virtual hotspot and disable internet, i just need to connect them directly to my real router hotspot and use. and how do i know/how can i check?
the transfer speed is actually very slow, like 2 MB/s, i thought this is normal since when i download files from internet it's about 2 MB/s too, but then i see many people on some websites say their speed is 10MB/s (they say this is slow, i think this is fast), or 80 MB/s, so i wonder why is my speed so low? and this is not a real wifi hotspot, it's virtual, so it should be fast, is there any other software that can make a virtual wifi hotspot that has fast speed? and why are other people's wifi transfer speeds so fast but mine is slow?
Basically.. I have a orange LED light that blinks like crazy when I'm downloading something.. but what's wierd is.. Once I've finished the download, Sometimes.. It just keeps blinking forever!
That tells me that it's downloading from somewhere and I can't tell from where exactly.. Luckily.. Uninstalling the wireless driver & reinstalling it solves the problem but it tends to come back eventually..
So what I am requesting from you fine people here @ SevenForums is for some type of Internet Bandwidth Monitor which I can use to see where my laptop is downloading from & hopefully stop it completely so that I may use my broadband speed for something more.. For me & less for what I don't want.
I am running Connectify on a Windows 7 laptop. I am currently having issues with something eating up all the bandwidth and I want to see if there is any software that I can use that will monitor each computer's amount of internet usage (WireShark won't do, if it can please tell me how).
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anyone recommend a free bandwidth monitor for Win 7? Specifically, my network speeds sometimes drop very low. Does a utility exist that will list in realtime all services on my system that are using bandwidth, and how much bandwidth they are using? I've found a couple (Axence Net Tools, Networx) that list all open connections, but they don't show me how much traffic is moving through each connection.

I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything. I have searched around in forums, asked people. I need an internet expert.
I have a 20Mb internet plan but after swtiching from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit i dont get more than 2Mb, normally only 1Mb. Plus now my signal is weaker, i'm only getting 2 bars out of five when i used to get 3 or 4.
My download speeds don't get passed 30kb/s and i lose connection all the time now. I can say its not the distance from the router. Here is what i have tried to solve it:
- DOS command: "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled"
- TCPOptizmier: gotten only worse and i think it was when my signal started to get weaker.
- Disaled IPv6 in internet options
- Disabled QoS
I am just starting using Virtual PC - XP Mode in my office. I use it mostly for using a remote access application to connect to other PCs which are still in XP. The remote access application is not compatible with 7, hence XP Mode.With my Network Monitor tool, I noticed VPC drains bandwidth, and quite huge too within a short time range.

When I'm not downloading a file i get about 12Mbps down, and 1Mbps up. When i start a download the numbers drop close to 0. The program performing the download seems negligible; whether its chrome, or IE, or a DL manager the download results are the same.This only happens on this computer, running windows 7 ultimate, my laptop running windows 7 is exempt from this problem. no other programs, excluding the download,

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a program that measures bandwidth and its reporting that I am downloading at full speed (1.2 mb/s ) all the time, and I think its accurate as my internet feels really slow. I double checked I wasn't downloading anything, and that all of the updates were on idle, but there is still traffic. What should I do? Also, I noticed a ridiculous drop from 250 GB to 217 GB of free space. The free space drop is gone, its showing 250 GB but the bandwidth is still a problem

View 8 Replies View RelatedLong waited problem still waits to be solved.
My internet is on ISP Cable.
I had many problems with Cable Operators.
Once upon a time, I could connect computer and laptop on my Motorola SB5101e modem, since it has ethernet and USB.
Suddenly, something changed, and no long I can connect both.
Now, if I try to connect laptop (and regularly using internet on computer previously), on laptop will be "No or limited connectivity (laptop is XP).
I asked Cable operator why is this, and they said that it has to be like that, bla bla...
Somethimes, I lose connection on my computer, and "no or limited..." shows, exclamation mark also.
Well, it's not written "no or limited..", because computer is on my native language.
I saw that some user on this forum, whose nick is "zay", said that this can be easily bypassed if Cable is used as ISP.
I know that there's problem with ip configuration (or protocol).
Somethimes, if this problem can't be solved just by turning computer and modem off, I have to call cable operator to say him to "restart (or reset) "something"".
What do they "restart" (or reset)?
After that, everything works fine.
So, I would like to know what do they do in that kind of situation (what they do reset), and is there any possibility for me to solve that without calling them?
I wanted to delete a folder in my documents but it was giving me an error which I cannot remember exactly now, but after doing some research, most sites had suggested that I run a Chkdsk. My computer successfully completed the Chkdsk, but now my computer is in some sort of coma where it loads up fine, but after logging in, there is no text whatsoever on the screen. On top of this the start bar does not work and any explorer based functions are extremely large,pixelated and absent text.I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x32 on a 2009 Toshiba Satellite In the last year of high school and don't have most of my files backed up anywhere?

This was getting tedious so I changed his account to an Admin type.
