if you download at 800 Mbits per sec for 10 secs, then download 0 bits for the next ten secs... you have a speed of 400 Mbits/sec. !@#$%^&* yeah, you download fast as !@#$%^&*... but it would suck for gaming. Just an extreme example to prove a point... High thoroughput != rock solid connection.

sigh, i answered that on another post within the last month... Basically continuum sits in the background starting and shuttin down over and over again. When you go to shut down windows, it evenually is "shutting down" while continuum is "trying to load" and thus it throws an error. Please be aware that using the "run as" is not a 100% solution, it is a workaround which has KNOWN failings.

Since we are on the topic of frame rate and human vision, I will share what I know. 1) The human eye interprets constant motion down to 12 fps. Anything lower than that stands out as 'odd' 2) It's not the low frame rate (at 25 or 30 fps) that the brain has problems interpreting. It's the inconsistancy of it. It's the fact that games are rendered in real time, and the frame rates are constantly changing based on what is on screen. Basically you will have the same problem if your frame rate is jumping from 90 to 45 as you would if you were jumping from 45 to 30. 3) The basis of the above statement comes from the fact that film (in the theater) is at 24 fps. Television is broadcast at 29.97 fps (in the US) and at 25 fps in Europe. There are no problems with the brain interpreting it because it is a constant frame rate... there are no fluctuations, and therefore your brain never has a problem with it. I don't want to get into interlacing and frame doubling, so lets just leave it at that. As far as the problem which began this post... there IS a solution. Try older drivers. Try control-alt-del and kill every process that is not a critical system process. Check check check. There is a culprit somewhere, and I seriously doubt it is the fault of that specific card or the game or SP2. References: http://amo.net/NT/02-21-01FPS.html http://www.macintouch.com/framerates.html

this is not firewall related... maybe this helps: http://www.ssforum.net/c/index.php?showtopic=7442

Are you using a skin or theme for windows? I've seen that cause this problem. Remove the windows XP theme/skin.

Make sure your name starts with a letter or number... no special charactes like: &^#$%

sigh, that is covered elswhere, and the .dll isnt the problem... what is happening, is that continuum is continually opening and shutting down, that's why it bounces in task manager. Then, you decide to shutdown (while continuum continues to open and close) and eventually the system WILL be attempting to shutdown when continuum is trying to open. So windows whines that the .dll !@#$%^&*ociated with continuum won't run because windows is shutting down. General forum hint: beware information from 'unregistered' users. 100% of the time, it has been some "anti" spyware or "anti" virus app that doesn't like continuum, or vice versa. Disable/uninstall/allow continuum in each of those types of programs that you run. Eventually it will run, when you figure out which app is the offender.

me = 98 (for all intesive purposes)

you will find, by searching the forum, that this issue is a common, recurring error. The culprit, many times, is an antivirus or anti-spyware app that needs to have continuum added to it's 'allowed programs' list.

If you search this forum for similar problems, you might come across something that helps you.

you can freely save anything you want in the root continuum folder. This file will not be overriden when you download the actual zone map, because that is stored in the continuum\zones\zonename directory. The desktop folder is stored under the windows user's folder, just like the My do!@#$%^&*ents folder. So if you save it to the desktop, its only going to be on that user's desktop and none of the other user's. As an option, you can save it in the "All Users" Desktop Directory and it will be available to all users. In order to upload, it has to be in the continuum root folder anyway, so why not save it there. It's in the Program Files directory, which is shared by all users.

glad to hear it! -closed-

because you haven't disabled that keyboard shortcut in the other program yet

firmware update for the bios & motherboard drivers for hard disk controller

I just realized.... directX?

open continuum... hit control A

congrats! (closing thread)

also play with the "avoid page flipping" and "software emulation" features in advanced options

wireless lag. Reconnect the kb with the connect button on the back. New batteries, maybe move closer to the receiver.

I had a cyrix 90 without a heatsink or fan. It acted like this and it died quickly.

and abnormal voltages (i've had that b4, with similar symptoms)
