  • Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

    I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well. 
    BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
    The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
    But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
    This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
    1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub  is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
    2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
    3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
    4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
    5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
    6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation  has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a  Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
    file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
     Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
    7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
    Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
    Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
    I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
    Above all though: I'm  really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
    If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
    1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
    2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
    3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
    4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
    5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
    6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
    7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
    8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
    9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
    I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
    Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in  what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

  • BT Desktop Help latest version doesn't work.

    After a reboot of my computer today I received an onscreen message that I was not running the latest version of BT Desktop Help so I went ahead with the update.   After the update was installed and it was going through the launch process where it informs me that the diagnostic modules are launching, I then received another message telling me that I was not running the latest version and to click on a link to install the latest version.   Clicking this link had no effect whatsoever.
    I then decided to completely uninstall the BT Desktop Help in the correct way and rebooted the computer before downloading and installing the application yet again from the BT web site.    Unfortunately I am still getting the same message when I try to run it so it would appear that there is a bug in the update/latest version.   I am running Windows 7.
    Although I rarely have cause to run the application, any help on this issue would be appreciated.  Thanks

    My advice and that of many on this forum is to uninstall BTDesktop Help. It is a piece of software junk and can cause more problems than it solves. It is not needed to connect to the Internet or for anything else on your computer.

  • Re: BT Broadband Desktop Help problem

    I am new to this FORUM and as yet have not been able to find how to open a THREAD so I have taken this facility to post my query or should it be queries.
    According to the BT.Com website the Broadband Desktop Help program functions with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Each of these have their own email client program, Outlook Express (XP), Windows Mail (Vista) and Windows Live Mail (Windows 7). These are all flagged as being functional with the Desktop Help program,
    Several weeks ago one or two of my BT email addresses started to be flagged as being a problem and they were not confined to one PC. Checking the Properties of these addresses and comparing them with other BT email address I could not find any apparent difference in their properties.
    Taking my PC which has been running XP and Outlook Express (OE) for a number of years without any apparent problems. The only thing that I had done was to add a couple of additional BT email addresses and I thought that the configuration with these may be the problem so I used the Desktop Help Program. This initially did not flag any problems with my setup of OE.
    Thus I checked the email program on a PC running Vista with Windows Mail, this occasionally flagged different addresses failing. I also tried the same exercise of checking the email's on a PC running Windows 7, this also appeared to display a similar problem with the email addresses.
    I believe that when a User setup an email address he basically enters a limited number of parameters and the remainder of the setting are preset for or by the Mail Server.
    After trying to confirm all the properties across the email's client and could not find any reason for the dropouts I resorted to the use of the Desktop Help program in an attempt to resolve the problems.
    With OE, sometimes when running 'TROUBLESHOOT EMAIL'S' I get a display notifying me that one of the addresses fail and the program offers to fix it. Taking this step the next display informs me that the .   
    'Diagnostic Check' was succesful, confirming that the Connection and email setting are correct.
    I would be quite happy at this point except the display goes on to say ''We have fixed the following email settings' without any notification of wahat has been changed.
    Seeing that XP and Vista have ceased to be supported by Microsoft, I wish to move up to Windows 7, thus the use of Desktop Help with these other Microsoft Windows version.
    This is where another apparent problem exists with the program. When initiallising the program on either Vista or Windows 7 I am informed by the program that NO EMAIL CLIENT PROGRAM is installed. Selecting various links in the displays I get VERY CONFUSING dispays. With Vista the secong display informs me that I have 'Windows Mail 32 Bit installed.
    Taking the recommended Support Path, contacting 0800 111 4567, I explain the problem to them along with the fact that an email address which functioned YESTERDAY and has done so for sometime has dropped out. The reaponse I get is can I go online to the BT-YAHOO Mail Server and access each of my Emails adresses, my reply is YES, rsponse there is no problem. Question, Why does the address dropout when using OE, response, we  do not support OE.
    The fact that not only does OE dropout and also BT Desktop Help flags a problem does not register with them that there is a problem.
    Mentioning that Desktop Help has an apparent problem accross the Windows OS systems iis of no concern of them as it is a BT product and they are BT-YAHOO, which I would have thought would concern them.
    When I have been able to get in touch with BT.COM about these apparent problems I am informed that no action will be taken because no other USER has flagged the problem.

  • Installed BT Desktop help,now PPPOA is crashing be...

    I installed bt desktop help yesterday, my hub3 as been connected since the mods reset my snr and took off the banding(so they say,i think its just been raised a little because my speed is now continuessly 12.5meg even after all the disconnects today),i went to bed at 5am this morning,got up at 2pm,looked in hub event log because i noticed my hub timer had been up only a few hours,at 6 am it tried to communicate with motive which is bt desktop help, its full of motive modules and drivers and services, obviously it cant comunicate while the pc is off so it made pppoa go down after 2days, then it tried again at 9am and did the same, and again at 12pm, i suspect if i never turned on my pc that it would of tried again at 3pm, i turned the pc on at 2pm.Before installing bt desktop help(motive) my event log is completley clear of motive acs username addresses, not once as it tried to communicate with this address so it must be down to the desktop help, thing is if i uninstall bt desktop help it seems to mess things up as my pc wont auto sign ip addresses and network gateways(wont pick up the hub) so basiclly bt desktop is here to stay unless i re install the whole os, my advice is dont install it you will be so peed when you cant get a perfectly working pc to function normally after you try an uninstall bt desktop help,i went through everything manually(the registry, all folders etc) and deleted everything to do with desktop help but it made no difference,i still had to run diagnose to get the pc to connect to the hub,i repaired the ip stack, reset the winsock catalouge and still no different,i reinstalled desktop help and it works again,so there you have it, im now stuck with the hhb3 trying to communicate with motive when the pc is off there im not going to be able to maintain a constant connection

    The hub3 tried to communicate with motive again while my pc was off, im now back to a high snr and 9meg ip profile which is stuck again, upnp is creating ports which i presume is desktop help,(i hope)i uninstalled desktop help and hard reset the hub but its still creating ports and still communicating with motive acs username, i have a few after the hard reset, some say ( 175.300000) Initializing transaction for event code 6 CONNECTION REQUEST, and,( 162.120000) Server URL: https://pbthdm.bt.motive.com; Connecting as user: ACS username,and,( 107.610000) Server URL: http://pbthdmw.bt.motive.com; Connecting as user: Default username. These are my stats now, i used to be 12.53meg with snr of 6.0db

  • My printer won't work after using BT Desktop help

    I received a message from BT desktop help saying I had connection problems although I wasn't aware of any, so ran through their automatic help screen. I think I may have cllicked on the wrong answer re the wireless connection (possibly clicked 'internal' instead of 'external' but not sure) and I think it has changed my settings. Now I cannot print. I can't remember exactly what I did in the destop help screen. Any ideas how to rectify? My printer is an HP Photosmart plus B210 series and it comes up with a message about the IP address when I try to print.

    The first thing I would do is un-install BT Desktop Help from your computer.It is not needed for anything on your computer or to connect to the Internet and can cause problems on some computers. Have a search through the forum to see what I mean.
    If you do decide to un-install it and you are still having problems with your printer post back for help. Meantime have you tried restarting your Homehub, computer and  printer in that order.

    Just downloaded this and the following does not work.

    2 Setup Email Accounts.
    3 PC Healthcheck.
    4 Wireless setup wizard.

    Can anyone help.

    As with the intial message on this thread, I found the download for Desktop help completely screwed up when I tried it yesterday.
    (a) It downloaded and did some checks showing a fix needed. I did the fix OK
    (b) Later, on a new session, I wanted to check something else. I used the shortcut used on the download and all I could get was IE could not find the page.  Mozilla likewise.
    (c) Eventually I had had enough and removed the programme with intent to download again.
    (d) Found a download from a Google search - instead of from BT Software page on 'my account'
    (e) Eventually worked then told me there was an upgrade available so I accepted to download it. On completion it wanted me to reboot to complete but warned there was 'another browser' open which needed to be closed to save and work.  There was no other browser open so I continued. Eventually I got the page where you can do the checks and did them and closed down.
    (f) After reboot any attempt to return to the Desktop help once more said 'Page could not be found'
    I have once more removed it from my PC. I just haven't got time for stuff which behaves in such a way.
    Have to say without doubt a complete shambles and thoroughly non-user-friendly piece of software when it
     comes to installing,  and retaining for future use.
    CRAIG - I've sent you details as you requested of other writers to see if you can resolve for me as well!!

  • BT Broadband Desktop Help Update ~ a problem.

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post my question, but here goes:
    In the past few days the following has occurred and I am finding it irritating, so I am hoping you can give me advice as to a cure.
    I switch on my PC and a pop-up window appears, captioned BT Broadband Desktop Help Update, advising me there is an update available. I click OK and it downloads / installs the update. Finally the window advises the BT Broadband Desktop Help has been successfully updated and I click the Finish button.
    However, the next time I switch on my PC I am once again advised it needs updating and I go through the whole routine again.
    Question: how do I stop this happening?
    BTW I do not want to uninstall the software as, in the past, it has been very helpful.

    Current situation:  whem I switch on the PC I no longer get the pop-up window reminding me to update the s/w.  However, if I run the s/w the IE page tells me I need to update, which I do but it still tells me to perform an update.
