Router: D-Link DI-524 AirPllus™G -Rev B4 (Firmare version:V2.04b02)
System problems:
1. Many applications hang-up frequently (Namely Photoshop (CS3 Beta), utorrent, Intel® Desktop Utilities).
On App hangup - Ctrl-Shift-Esc doesn't bring up the Task Manager. Ctrl-Alt-Dlt brings up the TaskManager option on clicking which, again nothing happens. Doing this in a sequence brings - Many task manager icons into the system tray yet not accessible.
One any app hangup nothing is accessible. That include everything as in Mouse is not clickable over anything. NumLock works.
Only option left in this circumstance is to re-boot via Reset.
2.uTorrent downloads - I am downloading via utorrent, and my torrents are at a very low speed,. I am on WLAN network with a speed of 2Mbps, yet I get close to 0.8kb/s download. Upload is at 1.7kb/s. I contacted my ISP who admits that there is a congestion in the network slowing it down - yet they also disagree for speeds to become as slow as mine.
I have done the 'port forwarding' on my router - I have tried to optimize the UL/DL settings in utorrent (with help from a source on the web)
3.MSN fails to connect sometimes. I have set the firewall settings of my router to allow MSN. Yet it fails sometimes. Eventhough it is connected, I get a message delivery failure notice too many a times.
I have tried bypassing my router(connecting the cable directly to ISP)... But its the same.
My main concern is my PC becoming slow. The processor is supposedly dual core .. am I right? I am monitoring the Temperatures on the processor and board via Intel Desktop utilities. They r in normal limits round the clock...
I need help. ASAP.
