My interent connection seems to just disconnect randomly every so often (Depends, sometimes in hours, sometimes often) The green light for the link just goes, and begins flashing for a bit, then re-connects. Its been doing this for sometime now, anyone got any suggestions on why? I use some Zoom USB network adapter model, connects to comp, to modem, to phone tab bit from which I get the phone and modem connection.

I am not using a router, but i still unexpectedly lose my internet connection, i'm using windows 2000 professional, i've check with cablevision and they say everything including the modem is running fine, they suggest problems with my system settings, any ideas as to what might be causing this, it happens 3 or 4 times in a 6 hour session, if i shut down my system I can get right back on the internet.

My computer keeps losing internet connection everytime i reboot. It also changed the theme from Windows XP to Windows classic. The programs have been running extremely slow. I have tried to search for solutions but I can't find any.

My computer told me that my hal.dll file was missing or corrupt, so someone from this wonderful website directed me to an article that told me how to re-set the startup to the cd rom drive. After that I was able to start re-loading xp from the cd that came with the computer. The problem now, is that halfway through, my computer said that drive c has to be reformatted, and in order to do that, all files on the c drive will be deleted. Is there any way around this? I don't have access to the start button or anything else, so I don't know how to back up whatever is on my hard drive before I reformat the drive to finish installing xp!

Can a partition be divided into two partitions using XP software without losing data? What is a virtual partition? Advantages, disadvantages?If 3rd party software is required, then please make recommendations. My machine is running XP Home SP2. The drive came from HP with two partitions. One partition's software is locked.

In the past week I have noticed that every time I start my system I am losing a .5 GB of space on my hard drive. I use Norton for virus protection. I have done a chkdsk with no avail. Scans show no worms, virus or any other problem.I have gone from 65 GB to 55 GB in two days.

PC model W2785. It is a 2700+ AMD Athlon XP Processor. 512 MB DDR RAM, I have recently upgraded my graphics to a G-Force FX5500 AGP 8X with 128 MB DDR. I gave all this info just to get to the question: I am having a problem with Window's System Restore. I have through time created several restore points so that I could go back if I needed to replace something that I lost by messing up and deleting some part of some software that's on my computer.
Everytime I try to use Window's System Restore it acts like it is working. It goes through all the procedure, then reboots, but when my computer gets back up and running I get the message that my computer could not be restored to the chosen restore point. It doesn't matter which restore point I choose it is always the same. What do I do to get Window's System Restore to start working again, short of reinstalling my computers original software, which will lose all software and files

I am puzzled? I don't know much about PCs to start with.

On my office network, the domain controller is a Win2000 Server. Ever since I began upgrading workstations to Windows XP two or three years ago, I have had difficulties. The machines running XP Pro lose connection to file shares on the server (and other fileservers) after a period of inactivity, sometimes as short as five minutes, sometimes as long at 2 hours. When the user tries to open a network share, Explorer hangs.sometimes after 3-5 min a username/password dialog will ask you to authenticate using a different user account than the one you're logged in under, then your connection is restored for the time being.other times, you end up getting a "file not found" or "you do not have permission to access this network resource" error. I've been dealing with this for two years, and recently it's gotten a lot worse on one computer, so I need to fix it badly.

I have a new Compaq Presario M2105US with XP sp2.My network includes 2 iBooks with airport cards, the Compaq Presario and a Desktop Mac with enthernet connection to my Linksys WRT54G v.3 wireless router. I've got TimeWarner broadband.I can easily connect to the Internet through the Linksys router with all computers. However the Compaq will eventually lose the connection to the Internet (though not to the router) after several hours of inactivity. But only after several hours (perhaps 4 hours or more, but not less than 3 hours). If I use the computer in the evening for example and take several breaks, everytime I come back to the computer and wake it from sleep, it will quickly re-establish the Internet connection. However if the computer is sleeping for hours, like overnight, and I wake it up, it appears to re-establish contact with the router because the network conneciton reports a connection with very good signal strength. But I can't access the Internet. Only by logging off and on again or by restarting can I regain internet connectivity.

my computer stalling/freezing for no reason. I have AVG and have used Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy and neither have found a problem. Sometimes all of a sudden I lose access to the internet, Im on a LAN but when I lose access the other computers on the LAN still can access the internet fine. If that problem doesnt occur, my computer just decides to stall and when I restart it sometime freezes on the Window XP screen.

I doubled the size of the Taskbar to accomodate the shortcuts to web pages, and I drag URL's to the Taskbar. After a few days of use, the icons are replaced by IE default icons.

I am having a problem with my Dell Dimension 4700. I had to format my hard drive and reinstall windows XP Pro. I then went to the dell website and reinstalled all the drivers listed under my computers service tag.Now whenever the computer is restarted or if I run certain programs like Windows media player or quick time I have to delete and reinstall the sound driver through device manager. I can normally regain sound without having to restart my computer. But when I try to use a program my computer does not like then I loose sound again. This is very aggravating.

Generic Host Process Crash So I have this problem and it's been driving me crazy for some time now. It seems that "randomly" when I lose connection to my wireless access point, I will get a Generic Host Process for Win32 crash. I have disable the forced shutdown that usually occurs after this happens, but since it renders the system mostly unusable, I have to reboot anyway. What's odd is that it doesn't happen every time I lose connectivity to the network.
