Hey guys,

Its two things so I may aswell mention them both in the same topic.

Basically I play Halo PC online now just recently I am playing normally with a ping of say 68, then it suddenly sky rockets up to 2000! I havent actually sat for ages to see if it calms down becuase I have to close it all off. I have tried it in numerous servers and it always does the same thing. I also find that it signs me out of Xfire at this time and when I try Firefox it also runs incredibly slowley. I know that it isnt another pc on our network doing this as I have tried it with my other pc's off and it still does it. When it is busy going crazy, I check Bandwidth monitor pro and it says Im uploading at 80kb/s which is only possible over the network becuase our ISP limits us to 30 huh.gif

The second problem is with a new webcam my mum bought for her pc. It was a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000. I get it all installed and it works fine until I reboot - once I reboot I get a blank screen until I reboot in safe mode and uninstall the drivers. Now becuase this is a new camera, I am only able to try two sets and they both do the same thing.

I have tried the camera on my pc and it works fine with no problems what so ever. My mum's pc is a Dell Dimension 5000 (A pain in the a$$) and I dont know what to do. We also have a second webcam, I think its a Logitech Quickcam Zoom and it all works fine on her machine until today I got a BSOD for the first time ever I have ever owned that pc huh.gif

Any help PLEEEEASE! wacko.gif ,

I'll download Antispyware although I doubt there is anything on there as I am very carefull what goes on there. I havent tried Halo on another machine but I do know when Halo did go crazy I went to check my mum's pc and it had signed her out of msn messenger at the same time.
 
Ok well Ive scanned my whole pc and windows defender found NOTHING atall so I guess its nothing messing with my pc - what else could it be :confused:
 
Well Im using nildram.net and I know its not going out to the net becuase it isnt possible for me to be uploading 80kb/s to the net. Its to something else on the network probably. For Halo pc a 68 ping is very good trust me lol most people have 100 atleast. Im still pretty baffled about this and Ive kind of given up on that webcam. I would just reformatt but becuase its a stupid DELL machine, it causes complications :(
 
Thing is Ive uploaded stuff to another machine on my network going well over 900kb/s whilst playing halo online and it dosnt affect it
