Windows XP SP3 Slow Internet, Urgent

Hello, I partitioned Windows XP SP3 on a 200 gb partition. I installed all the Boot Camp Drivers, Installed all the Windows Updates, and although my internet speed seems fine. However when i attempt to download, my download speed is around 1mbps. I checked this on speedtest . And When i load up in Leapord, my download speed is at 25 mbps. I am desperately trying to find a solution, I have already tried to re-install XP, and to no avail. Any help would be great. I'm at my wits end.
Thank you!

re: slow internet on boot camp... I have similar problem. Internet on Mac os side = 5.75 Mbps and on xp side about 1.75 mbps. I'm on xp sp3, boot camp (recent clean install). May try this driver replace idea. Any other ideas out there?
I was careful too with the procedure on install and updating to boot camp 2.1 before sp3.

Can't use at all on Windows XP SP3, IE8

Hello,
The last version what I used was 6.1.999.130. I have this problem for a month. When I try to login using my old MSN login it says "Sorry, we didn't recognize your sign-in details".
The last version crashes after the launch.
Windows XP SP3 32bit
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
I spent a month to solve this problem but I couldn't. I installed several versions and all of them was crashed except the version what I mentioned above although it throws a login error. I reinstalled SP3 too.
Solved!

After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
o/s to W7-Ult.
Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
Steam or the like causing interference.
I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
my Asus machine.

Slow video update with iSight on Boot Camp Windows XP SP3

I have the latest White Macbook with the NVidia Chipset. I have installed Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp and all has gone fairly well. Only issue is iSight... It shows up in Devices as iSight and will open and initialise. However, the video preview is VERY slow. The picture updates every 10 seconds or so! It can take a still picture but any attempt to use as a video device (under Windows Movie Maker) causes a crash. Have used iSight under Boot Camp before, on earlier MacBooks with no such problem. It works fine under OSX. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Still no thoughts? If it helps, I've found out that if I use Windows Movie Maker and lower the resolution to the lowest available, iSight works fine. A clear preview is available and it will record video from the iSight. However, the original problems are still present when selecting the iSight icon from, "My Computer" or trying to use Windows Messenger. Anyone any ideas?

Slow Internet connected to Windows 2003

Recently our company changed their server to a Windows 2003 server. Ever since, all the macs running os x have really slow internet access. The PC's are fast. Does anyone have any idea if there are settings on the mac that need to be changed or on the server?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hi, please can somebody help. I have a MacBook Pro and i am connecting to a windows 2003 server using microsoft remote desktop connection. I need to print on the printer connected to my mac. How do I get windows to see the printer that is connected to my Mac?
It looks like you have to have a postscript printer (i.e. a laser printer). I have been trying to solve this problem for some time with no luck so far.

Very slow internet after installing 10.5.3

Hello all, this is the very first time I have encountered any problems with my Macbook and I am hoping I can get some help here.
About a month ago I came home from college and hooked my Macbook up to the wireless router at home, everything was running fine. We have fiber optic internet so usually my speeds are blazing fast. Recently however I installed the 10.5.3 update and now my internet speeds are very dismal. I am having trouble getting my Macbook to connect to the router at all, much less load any web pages.
I have taken an ethernet cable and plugged my Macbook directly in to the router to see if things load any faster, and unfortunately things are still just as slow over a wired connection. After typing in a URL you will sit there at a blank web page for about 45 seconds to a minute before it even starts loading the page, and when the page does load it takes forever to pull up and images take even longer to display. If it helps at all our router is a dlink DI-524 wireless router.
I was browsing through these forums yesterday to see if I could find a solution to my issue. so far I have tried the following:
-set router to broadcast in G mode only (instead of mixed mode)
-removed encryption from router
-tried various encryption settings (64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP, WPA, etc)
-updated the firmware of my router
-created test account on my macbook, opened internet browser on it, everything still runs slow
-deleted cache for safari/mozilla as well as the .plist files, still slow internet
when i called apple the agent suggested putting in my os X CD and do an archive and install, i did and once i was set back to os X 10.5 i was unable to connect to wifi at all, and wired connection over ethernet seemed just as slow as before. when i check for apple updates the 10.5.3 update was my only option, i couldnt choose 10.5.2 so installing that would put me back where i was before.
in the end i set my computer up last night to do a restore from my time machine backup. my machine has been restored to the backup i created just before i tried the archive and install, so im back to running OS X 10.5.3 now.
I'm sorry this post got so long, I just wanted to make sure that I included details of what I've done so far. Again I would like to stress that I am having this problem on my macbook even with my computer hooked directly to the router with my ethernet cable. (using that same cable and hooking up any one of my windows computers in the house results in fast and effortless web browsing so i know the cable is good)

It's not a matter of Mac OS X being "picky" but rather various ISPs not keeping up with changes in the DNS standard.
In the most recent case, 10.5.3 had to revert to a previous method of performing some DNS lookups because various ISPs hadn't bothered to update their servers to handle what has been the recommended way of handling lookups for the past eight years.
OpenDNS also has done a lot of work to make sure their DNS servers work as fast as possible; ISPs have absolutely no incentive whatsoever to provide fast DNS services.

Cannot open Reader program, no error messages (Windows XP, SP3)

Hello all! I am hoping someone can provide a solution to my frustration....
Earlier this summer I was having some computer trouble. The computer was under warranty - HP came out and changed the memory and system board.
I have not been having any issues except for ONE thing - I cannot open Adobe Reader to view PDF files. Any PDF files on my system show the Adobe icon, but when clicking on a PDF file or the application itself, nothing happens. The hourly glass shows up briefly and then goes away, but otherwise, nothing.
Temporarily, I got by using another PDF reader. Unfortunately, some of our business systems only work with Adobe, so getting Adobe to work is now critical.
What I have tried (with no luck):
1) Uninstalled Reader, did a system search to remove all Reader files, re-installed latest version
2) Searched the Adobe community and other internet sites for help - tried a Microsoft fix, Adobe cleaner program, went into the Program Files menu to accept the user agreement, etc.
3) Installed earlier verions (9.5, and then 7.0)
Any other ideas? I called back HP, and they tried to be helpful but said it was a software issues since all other programs were running successfully. They suggested I re-install the operating system!
Thank you for your help.

HP Laserjet Pro MFP M125A " A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use" on Window XP SP3

Dear Friends,
I really need your help on this issues, recently company that i been working buy 19 Unit of HP Laserjet Pro MFP M125A printer to be install at our 19 branches. All of our branches is using Window XP SP3 and the spec is exceed the minimum requirement stated at the box of the HP Printers which means by rights, it should be no problems.
However, I sent and setup the printer at 4 branches only 1 is a success. others 3 centre is showing the same errors which is A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use. I been trying to install using original CD provided by HP and driver provided at HP Support also given the same errors. The 1 Centre that OK PC spec is almost the same as the others 3 and all using default programs and software. So i dont knows what really is the problem.
This is the things i have done in hoping to successfully install the driver but WITH NO SUCCESS:
Clear temp file, disk cleanup, defragment disk and restart PC.
Reinstall Windows SP3 and restart PC.
Install basic driver only and using control panel > device and printer > add printer (Select Driver Manually). (See Pic Below)
Repair windows using original windows XP SP3 CD.
Re-Check for USB.INF file.
Repair Registry with reg cure.
Uninstall USB support and etc (Google), then re-install the printers.
Uninstall Antivirus, disable all startup and services.
Install using FULL DRIVER, BASIC DRIVER AND DRIVER MANUAL.
Sometime when running the installer, it will prompt the below error signature and HP installer will loading quite long and then crash, but others PC don't have this errors, it straight away to the installation menu until DETECTING PRINTER until 99% and shows errors "A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use".
It seems that almost everythings i try cannot make the printer driver to be install. However, the SCAN driver is install successfully. Currently the printer only can PHOTOCOPY AND SCAN, without being able to print.
Please anyone which facing similiar issues to HELP ME. anythings i can do, to install the printer DRIVER.
THANKS!

Hi @gendit ,
I see that you are having issues installing several Laserjet Pro MFP M125A printers on several Windows XP computers. You are getting "A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use". I can help you with this.
What version of .NetFrameworks do you have? Check Your DOTNET.
You might have to run the Windows Updates. I would update the .Netframeworks to 4.0.
I believe HP software piggy backs Internet Explorer. Should have at least Internet Explorer 6.0.
Please try these steps, most likely the wrong driver is getting installed, giving you the Fatal error.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Uninstall the printer software from the CD.
Run the software again, immediately after connecting the USB cable, follow this document to update the driver before it errors out again. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation.
If the issue persists, here is a document with some different steps to try.
A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation in Windows.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

How do I get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to Work (Windows XP SP3)?

I am a Premiere Elements user who occasionally exports the Timeline to Adobe Flash Video (.flv). And, occasionally I convert the .flv export to .swf with a free .flv to .swf converter. An installed Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 successfully plays back the .swf, and an installed Adobe Media Player 1.7 successfully plays back the .flv.
Right or wrong I got the idea that the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 was really a very old version of what is now the Adobe Flash Player. So, I decided it was time to update the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 to Adobe Flash Player 10. At this point, I have the following installed on my Windows XP SP3 computer via Adobe downloads:
Adobe Flash player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash player 10
Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
The Adobe web site verification tells me that as well as the computer Control Panel Add/Remove program list.
But, no matter what I do, .flv insists on opening only with the Adobe Media Player 1.7 and the .swf only with the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.
I have tried
a. browsing to another Open With choice
b. changing file association in folder options as well as a few uninstalls/reinstalls and have been unsuccessful in these attempts. At one point I thought that maybe uninstalling the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 would be an approach, but I cannot find it to uninstall it. I have looked in Program Files, Documents and Settings/Application Data, Local Drive/Windows/System32, tried the computer Search...all with no luck. My browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. The default browser is Firefox and all the appropriate "allows" are in place.
If anyone could point out the errors of my ways, I would appreciate it.
ATR

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

MacBook Pro and Wi-Fi Slow Internet Connection

Hi There,
I just got Macbook Pro. I am new Mac user and ran into strange problem. when I connect to internet through Wi-Fi the speed is really awful in comparison with my other windows based laptop at the same time.
How could I solve this problem? I mean, is there any specific setting I am supposed to do to overcome my slow internet speed?
Thank you

Also tried using the DNS assigned to me by the ISP, no difference in speed.
Everything is correct as far as i can see

Dunno how much of an adverse effect *that* bug is having.

And that. You need to investigate these. Hopefully it's just one bug.

Does itunes 10.1 resolve the slow internet issues of itunes 10?

Hi guys,
when I installed iTunes 10 I experienced extremly slow internet connections and after looking through the forums, decided as some other users to revert back to iTunes 9. This did resolve my problems.
Now I note that iTunes has moved to 10.1 and I was wondering whether people who have installed it have any issues with their internet connection. I have an iMac 2.67 Quad - intel with OSX 10.6.5.
I would not want to go through all this again, I have been quite disappointed by this issue and the lack of support to it so I'd rather save the trouble and keep my opinion of Apple from any further damage !

i was just forced to install 10.1 b/c 8.21 (BEST itunes version ever - super fast, never crashed, etc) which worked flawlessly finally told me i had to upgrade b/c i could no longer see the store - it just stopped working. it's VERY painful to use 10.1 now, esp the store. this thread covers the same topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12743989#12743989
seems like it's on both windows and mac.

Please help with this slow internet

Can someone please help me with this slow internet. I have been looking on this forum for a while and have tried about everything I can do. I bought a new macbook, a new airport extreme base station, and have high speed internet. I can connect with a wire and it works great but wirelessly is slower than dial up. I am also not very good with computers so I am not sure how to do a lot of the things that many people say to do. I have comcast internet. If you need anymore information I will do my best to give it. Please help me fix this, remember it is the holiday season be a giver.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I believe there are several reasons for Leopard's networking issues.
I've heard it's worth a try to *turn off IPv6 in the OS network settings and your router* (if such an option exists in your router). IPv6 is the new addressing protocol which many consider to be overkill, seeing as it allows for approximately as many addresses as there are square centimeters of surface area on planet Earth (according to Wikipedia). It's also known to cause issues with Vista, which leads me to believe that the protocol is fundamentally flawed in some way.
Just a note, turning off IPv6 in the OS is easy, simply go to *System Preferences* > Network > select the *network type* you're using (i.e. Wi-fi, ethernet, FireWire). Then click the Advanced... button, go to the TCP/IP tab, and say *Configure IPv6: Off*.
Upgrading your router's firmware is worth a try, although such updates should only be performed through the ethernet connection, not over Wi-Fi (otherwise you could risk turning your router into a giant paperweight). You should also take note of your router settings prior to the firmware upgrade, because they will probably be reset with the upgrade.
Check your *Activity Monitor* in Applications under Utilities. Right-click (or control-click) on the *Activity Monitor* icon and tell the *Dock Icon* to *Show CPU Usage*. Keep an eye on the CPU usage in the dock and if it goes higher than expected, click on the icon and tell the window to *Show Active Processes*, and/or organize the processes by order of CPU usage.
Leopard doesn't have "nice" processes anymore and I find that some processes that like to use the network prevent other processes from using the network simultaneously. I think a lot of the network issues people are having are due to *Quick Look*, mdworker, and mds. These processes seem to like to go out on the network and make notes about every server available, however there doesn't seem to be any way to make these processes "nice" or kill them permanently without losing valuable system functions. It's interesting, at least, to see the probable cause of some of these networking problems, even if we can't fix them.
By now, I'm sure I sound like I'm babbling, but I hope at least some of this helps somebody out there.
