Hi
I have Windows 7 Ultimate. Runs fine until I download something & then it will freeze & nothing will unfreeze until I keep the power button pressed for 5 sec to shut off & then restart. I read about install Reginout to fix the problem. I habe downloaded this but then found out you have to purchase a key for it to fix anything. So forget that as I read elsewhere it is a scam. I have also downloaded hotfix for windows but this hasn't helped.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue?
many thanks
Ice

vague on the question what other programs you using to download do they still do it,dump zonealarm put comodo in instead or it could be a spam filter in utorrent perhaps not enough ram

came across this problem recently..(newsgroups and torrents together caused total system lockup) decided for myself that it was a common problem that has been around since xp-sp3.. namely.. lack of open sockets.. googled how to open more and followed advice.. seems to have done the trick, but as it's not my machine (won't have microshite junk in my house thanks) really don't know if it has solved it or not.. education on sockets needed?

different browser acting in a different way?.. that could be due to the respective number of established sockets it uses.. microsux browsers tend to use a lot.. class them as potential spyware and use open source.

ive got ie on my computer tryed it once and was too slow to load google.firefox works great for me.got told google chrome is faster but the add-ons arnt as compatable.
basically ie is an old outdated useless browser.
i'd say switch to firefox or chrome.

other thoughts could be a bit of dodgy ram.. or even some overheating.. I think the hardware is too new to suffer from bad caps but it might be running out of juice under heavy load.
