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...?

    • so you just moved data to onedrive? Or did you upgrade the disk? I see multiple options either actual SSD or NVME options on amazon for around 50 bucks.. If you are low on space, and after a cleanup/purge of you stuff you don't need your still low it would be good idea to upgrade to bigger drive.  As to /sageset:65535, I don't think that value is valid https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cleanmgr Displays the Disk Cleanup Settings dialog box and also creates a registry key to store the settings that you select. The n value, which is stored in the registry, allows you to specify tasks for Disk Cleanup to run. The n value can be any integer value from 0 to 9999. For more information, see Registry key information. So I would guess trying to use such a high value wouldn't store your settings.. You sure do not need  to use sageset or sagerun to run the disk cleanup..  That is for running it later with the same setting you pick when you set it.

    • We now know why Nvidia blocked yet another review, the new RTX 5050 is apparently terrible by Sayan Sen With its latest RTX 5000 series of GPUs, Nvidia has not been transparent with how its cards perform. The company did not ship review drivers for the RTX 5060 on launch day and has repeated the same deed with the new RTX 5050 as well. For those who may not have followed, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 last month for $249 and released the Game Ready driver for the card this month with version 576.88. As such, the RTX 5050 has now been tested by Korean site Quasar Zone where the GPU has been compared against other cards that are priced around that same bracket. The site has found that Nvidia's new entry-level offering is worse than Intel's Arc B580, a card that launched around six months ago for the same price. As you can see in the image above, the Arc B580 was slightly faster on average. The biggest gap between the two was on Path of Exile 2. Another point in favor of the Arc GPU is that it has 12 Gigs of video memory whereas the RTX 5050 only has 8 GB. The 5050 was also pitted against Nvidia's last gen RTX 4060 as well as AMD's RX 7600, both of which are also 8 Gig cards. The 7600 is often found at around $250 these days while the RTX 4060 frequents around $275. The RTX 5050 is essentially neck and neck with the 4060 and is ever so slightly faster than the RX 7600. Once again this just highlights that Nvidia is essentially giving the same kind of performance that Intel and AMD GPUs have provided since last year or so. In fact, if we consider the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT GPUs, which have been available for around $180 to $220 in the past, it becomes clearer just how bad of a value the RTX 5050 is as those 6000 series AMD cards probably get pretty close to the 5050 in rasterization throughput. Chances of something like "Fine Wine" are also slim given that the RTX 5050 just does not seem to have the hardware resources to pull off something like that later in this lifespan. If anything, we are more likely to see that happen from the Intel B580 GPU or AMD's $299 RX 9060 (there is already evidence of that). Source and images: Quasar Zone
