i'm still experiencing this problem.  every so often, the "problem with connection" pops up, for about 10 seconds.  it's very intermittent, so it's damn near impossible to figure out what the culprit is.  can someone post the instructions for updating PB manually?  i know there around here somewhere...

Dont know if there are ment to be there??

You also can use regscrubxp to clean up the registry.   Also go to www.blackviper.com and he shows how to shut off other things you don't need.  I used his recommendations on Vista and love it now.  I have about the best laptop you can get and couldn't play games on it because of lag cause by vista using a third of 2gigs of ram.  Most of the time any lag I have had was caused by my system getting to hot.  On my old P4 system I had to put a liquid cooling on it and then I could play all night.

For help with the HijackThis, copy and paste your log here: Here and then click on parse at the bottom.

People here suggest to reinstall left and right, but if you ask anyone who knows anything, they will tell you it is a last resort.  It's not fixing the problem, it's just hoping it will go away.

OK that's it!! iv had enough of that crappy jittering on BF2 I'm resetting windows, need help on how to do it and i need to know how to keep programs i want after resetting it!!

Reinstalling Windows XP is really easy.

Here is really good guide - print it out...

NOTE: Make sure you choose the option to format, you will lose ALL installed applications and data, but this will ensure you are starting from a clean-slate. Now, that also means that if you have any precious data - you need to make sure it is backed-up - burn it to CD/DVD or copy it to a second HDD/partition or a flash drive.

Do not use the Repair option - it is notorious for screwing things up even more than they were before - meaning you end up having to do the re-install twice.

Also, after you've got XP installed, make sure you install all essential drivers - motherboard, lan, video-card, sound-card and so on - then install BF2 and nothing else - if you then still get problems, it is almost certainly an issue with your ISP.

Once you're happy that BF2 is working ok, then install any other apps as and when you need them - this will make the process easier and you won't end up spending hours sitting shoveling disks in, before you get to use your PC again. It'll also help to diagnose the original problem - if you install something and the problem returns then your know that whatever you just installed is what is causing it.

Over the last few days i have been deleting,moving and changing programs, i thing BF2 is getting better but now when i go onto the server, it DOES lose connection but not that quickly and it seems like its loading something because every time i move the system makes a 'buzz'. Could i be getting somewhere or do ye know what is causing these symptoms???

This is the problem. No, we don't know what the problem is.

Now you could continue spending many more hours removing stuff and it may never fix the problem.

Or you could spend an hour or so re-installing windows.

It's up to you.

Also each widows disk comes with 5 installs per cd-key and you would be using one with a fresh install.

They don't enforce that on XP anymore.
