hi, new here, i recently started to get an error(?) on my new Vista HP saying
"Active Area Has Changed" and some other stuff (cant Remember), this error happens 5-8 times while im generally searching the internet in a 3hr time slot. I find this VERY annoying because it'll turn off my internet ofr about 10 sec until it re-acquires my signal from the router. I have seen a post on this blaming AVG Anti-Virus + Firewall 7.5 and im running that but i cant find the so called setting that has been rumored to be causing this. http://help.lockergnome.com/windows2...ict478265.html also, i believe this is disrupting my network connection to my printer also for the Network and Sharing Center says i dont have a printer installed when i clearly do, ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! also,. i HAVE tried running anti-malware and virus stuff but no luck... |

If clean boot still has the same issue, check any virus or spyware.

This way you will find out which item produces the error and can take the troubleshooting from there. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |
