VIrus.some of the problem cause slowing down the machine is virus so try to find ant virus which is very strong and clean the virus

Hi LEO,

you recently wrote that :"On some systems it's possible that network traffic or "noise" is causing your network adapter to impact your system to weed the actual information you care about. This is particularly true if the machine you are concerned about has internet connection sharing turned on. A quick test is to unplug the machine from the network and see if anything resolves."

it is the problem with my station, i have a quad core Xeon with 4gb of ram and for all application whatsoever it is great however, it is so slow to access "my computer" and all drives on my network. This station is part of a domain and one of the way to fix the problem was to do a system restore but now it doesn't work and i am struggling to find a solution.You are right when you say it is due to the noice on my network etc...

Any solution in order to solve this hellish problem???
the network card is on the motherboard and i wonder if buying another one on PCI could solve the problem, i forgot to mention that it is a gibabit card that i have on the motherboard...

internet is found and working but i can not find or will not load

ok people... something that he forget to mention is that the capacitors on your motherboard will degrade after time, the only fix for this is to get a new mobo, and might as well just buy a new processor while ur at it, vista usually runs good at about 4 gig of ram, xp pro/xp pro x64 will usualy run very nice at 2 gig of ram... i have had to replace alot of computers due to bulging capacitors and damaged resistors, the only thing you can do to prevent this from happening and ruining the life of your computer is to shutdown the computer when not in use, dont use heavy cpu/gpu/hard drive intensive applications, games are the number one culprit, as well as storms, they will damage your computer with lightening strikes, you may not notice at first but it will get worse
