1st) At windows startup a process uses 100% cpu non stop. This process is tcpsvcs

I have no idea why it does it but I am forced to end the process

2nd) Explorer, Crazybrowser, and Firefox all have errors and quit during browsing at random times. Mostly on torrent sites. Hasnt happend on THGC yet.

And ideas as to why this crap is happening?

It's a Windows service that handles DHCP and printers. It can also be associated with worms/viri, so you might want to make sure you have the latest virus definitions for your AV and do a scan. If that doesn't work, uninstall, reboot, then reinstall your network adapter.

You have TCP/IP Version 6 installed. Remove this out of your network connection and it should be fine.

Explain to me exactly how. I go to my network connection properties and remove TCP/IP and I have no connection to the net.

Ok.. Windows got to the point where it would not work... I reinstalled and all the problems are slowly starting again! Oy... I need a new copy!]

Anyone know where i can get a crack for the activation [-peep-]... I seriously hate activating this [-peep-] over the phone since ive used the online activation to many times!

If you were to go under your Local Area Connection - Properties, you might see "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6" - Just uninstall that and you should keep the standard TCP/IP installed.
