I get the following event ID preodically and havent been able to stay online for more than 5 hours. Either i get kicked off the net and a dialup comes. (using a USB adsl modem, speedtouch to be exact). Or sometimes i get an IRQL not equal bull**** for usbport...

Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	DCOM
Event Category:	None
Event ID:	10005
Date:  17-Sep-04
Time:  4:46:30 PM
User:  NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:	
Description:
DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to start the service upnphost with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56}

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

No useful leads found.. dont know what 204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56 string is...

Facts:

Ran memtest nothing wrong with that.

Windows is uptodaet XP SP2

ZA 4.5 running

ICS running this PC being host

norton firewall is enabled and uptodate, no virus

Adaware came up with only cookies.

Upnp service is disabled as advised in grc.com but enabling that does not solve the issue. Im not runnig an IIS server that i need to have this. I only share my net connection and some files over the network with another PC.

I would hate to do a full reinstall since im in the middle of a term but this is stopping me from doing my studies.

First try to upgrade your firewall. According to Zone Labs, all ZoneAlarm products (version 5.1 or higher) are compatible with XP SP2 and Windows Security Center. If you are running an older version of ZoneAlarm (5.0 or below), they recommend you upgrade to the most current version.

If the problem persists, then perhaps there is a problem with the OS. I had a similar problem with network connections when I upgraded to Service Pack 2. The problem was that the Network Connections service could not be started because some DLLs for wireless network (although I don't use one) were missing from the system32 folder.

So, try to see if Network Connections can be opened properly in the Control Panel and then just double click the Wireless Network Setup Wizard (found in the Control Panel, too).

If they both open (for the Wizard close it after you see it opens), it probably has to do with the USB device, not the network. In that case, I suggest you to upgrade your modem drivers.

OK, upgrading zonealarm didnt do it but i did something else which seems to have worked but its too early to tell.

I disabled ICS and ran the share network connection on both of my PCs.

After a few MrxSmb warnings, things seem to be going ok. Dont know if its gona come back to haunt me after a reboot.

Can anyone tell me how to find which services or programs fire up in what order when you start windows/log on...?

      It has only been about 2 years since Microsoft raised prices from $60 to $70! I don't think it's a good idea they are doing it again so soon. Instead of raising prices, manage game development budgets better.
    • Intel's 20-core Ultra 7 processor is now available with a massive discount

      Intel's 20-core Ultra 7 processor is now available with a massive discount by Taras Buria The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, Intel's latest 20-core desktop processor, is getting more affordable. Now, the chip is available on Amazon with a 36% discount, saving you $144, which you can spend on a higher-spec graphics card, better cooling, a bigger SSD, or some new games. If you want to build a computer with the discounted Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, you will need a motherboard with the LGA 1851 socket and 800 series chipset. The Core Ultra 7 265K has 20 cores, 8 of which are performance cores, and 12 are efficiency cores operating at lower clocks for less demanding tasks. Performance cores have the maximum clock speed of 5.4GHz, while efficiency cores peak at 4.6GHz. However, the processor is unlocked, which means you can push those clocks higher if you have enough cooling and a motherboard that supports overclocking. Speaking of cooling, the processor has a TDP of 125W. A cooler is not included in the box, so do not forget to add one to your shopping cart. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K has 30MB of level 3 cache (L3). It works with DDR5 memory (rated for 6,400 MT/s) and has a built-in graphics at 2GHz, which is enough for image output, media consumption, and all sorts of tasks that do not require a lot of GPU power. There is also a neural processing unit with 13 TOPS, which can handle on-device AI processing. Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K 5.5 GHz - $259.99 | $144 off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      It's stuff like this countries like Denmark are giving up by switching to Linux. Good luck to them.

      I think a big part of it is developers have grown themselves too big and ballooned their budgets. It's the only way to show endless growth to investors between releases. Then they make massive investments in games designed for the bottom line hoping players follow instead of designing them for the players and hoping the bottom line follow in the way smaller, indie developers do. This often causes the games to fail to hook players. Instead they need to streamline development, lower budgets and sales forecasts, actually listen to gamer feedback, realize that social media doesn't dictate real world gaming tastes and habits, and overall learn to adapt instead of regurgitating the same formulas over and over.
