Noooo!!! i waited for like a day and still i couldnt disconnect it, I got fed up and i just switched it off. i know its a risk but what can i do, that external hard disk has no cooling fans so i am afraid it willl over heat ( i have a normal table fan blowing into it mind you)

Ok I have a problem and I have no clue how to fix it. Well right now im in safe mode with networking. But on to the problem. When I use the normal mode I start it up and everything loads but then when i click on an icon it highlights then the hourglass comes up and everything freezes but i can still move the mouse but i can click on anything.

Does upgrading my video card solve my problem on laggy games?(like Counter-Strike: Source? CS just works fine)) since I haven't upgraded it yet. and is it possible to install it myself? or should I request to install it?

I think it's the video card since even if I play "offline" on source...it's like ****...

the older CS versions just works fine online. Source really gave me problems playing online and offline. since I really saw the difference in their graphics enhancements on Source.

oh...and about the connection problem I have. when I went to my ISP's home page it seems that Microsoft's Service pack 2 is the cause of the problem I'm having.

Okay, I'm a total newbie when it comes to computers, so forgive me if this was answer before, but my BT download speed is horrid. The status light is yellow, so I think its firewall problem or what ever, but not too sure, because I don't know much about computers, but I did the first two steps on the first page, the whole:

1st Setting
First things first, the first setting is only applicable for Windows 2000 and XP Professional user only. This option does not appear in Win98SE and below. Click on Start>>Run or just hold 'Windows' key and 'R'. Type in gpedit.msc then press enter. Click on Administrative Templates>>Network>>QoS Packet Scheduler and then double click on 'Limit Reservable Bandwidth'. Enable it and then change the value in the field to 0%. After that, apply the setting.

2nd Setting
The second setting is very deadly as by doing it, a sword appears on your screen and started to slash you to death. HAHAHAHA!! You're DEAD!!

Or that's what I want to say, but no, it will not happen that way . But rather, this setting will put your computer at risk if you do not apply latest patches for windows. The magic setting is: TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL!! Yes, you heard it right (Ooops, should be seen ), you have to turn off your firewall in order for you to maximise the download speed. No worries about this as there is one more security that I used to make sure your PC security is not compromised (Well, if you use Windows, anything can be compromised ). It involves a router so if you do not have a router, then you should depend on installing latest patches from Microsoft and some prayer so that hackers will not hack your system . After you turn off the firewall, then go on to the third setting.

Okay, I did up to that point, and the dl speed did went somewhat faster, but the status light thing is still yellow, I went on to the 3rd step, but I cant seem to dl the thing you mention, and what exactly is port fowarding? Can somebody explained to me in detail on how to do it?

Check out the 4th setting. I've explained in details what port forwarding is in that setting section.
