I don't see what point you are trying to make.

BTW I'm a male, I'm 16 and I was gone for a month because school was getting in the way...

With that being said, WTF is all i am thinking right now, because your being an ass. BUBBA, in no way do I find any reason to respect you, therefore I'm going to try not to say too much and get banned from this forum.

Are there any other douche-nozzles that want to criticize my apparent lack of knowledge?

Don't worry about Bubba, he comes off like an ass, but he means well.

He's right that you apparently tend to miss good advice the first time you see it.

You did that in this thread (the earlier suggestion that your firewall was causing the issue), and you did it in the other thread (regarding your issues with multiple computers in the same D3 game) as well.

I really don't see why I haven't followed directions... I've done every single thing you guys have said; I don't have my firewall on, I never do. If your suggesting that I add main.exe to the exclusion list spite the fact that firewall is off, then okay.

Please, fill me in on what advice I may have missed

BTW is the Descent3 you have installed flawlessly on 3 PC's a pirated copy or a dual jewel pack?

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

Only with the patches. Many of the dual-jewel discs turned out to be the Australian version of D3, so the US patches wouldn't work correctly.

Once correctly patched to v1.4, it's fine.

I apologize I haven't got back to you guys on the services.msc thing. I keep getting an error every time I try to stop anything by McAfee. But I can stop other things...

McAfee services are protected, instead boot into safe mode and change the startup in services.msc on them from \"automatic\" to \"disabled\", move any other automatically starting McAfee stuff from your startup entries and reboot normally, it should prevent McAfee from launching so you can see if it was the cause. Afterwards you can change them back to automatic and restore the other startups, and McAfee will resume properly on the next reboot.

What I found running in my processes

HPZipm12.exe

I dont know what the first and last ones are, but hpwuSchd2.exe is a software updater program made by HP.

Nice Canuck. Like the old 98SE utility. Myself, I use CCleaner as it has this same tool and a couple of other cool goodies.
