Hi all!
Ok i have a problem i hope anyone can tell me what's the couse.
I have thomson cable modem connected to my pc trough USB.
When i download in programs such as skype or bittorrent etc. all the sudden all stops can't restart pc or start a programs even task manager, but when I unplug the UBS from my modem it starts working again. Is this an win xp problem or hardware driver related problem?
It's realy anoying can u please help me?

i would guess it's more of a problem with p2p software

Hm maybe, but I don't think so, had some problems and reinstalled windows xp and updated and the problem occured after, before all was working ok. And the problem didn't just appere one 2p2 programs i think, it's when i connect to a person on the net. But it's wierd cuz when i unplug UBS from the modem it starts working again :/ I alsaw heard that modems connected trough USB can couse problems.
Don't know realy.
I have zone alarm v5, could that be the problem?
Well thnx for replay! if anyone has any other ideas plz tell, would be most grateful.
Peace!

it could be a device conflict, check in your device manager, if not try updating your drivers for your modem "it could be a problem that the manufacter have already fixed"
