Did you download the new driver I posted in post 7
yes. i just installed it and rebooted and the issue is still happening.
Lets see what is running on your PC
Click here DDS
Click on Download Now button
When the download is complete . Drag the DDS program from the Downloads folder to your Desktop
Right-click the DDS icon on the Desktop choose Run as administrator to run the tool.
Place a check next to attact.txt and click Start . When done, DDS will open two logs
DDS.txt
Attach.txt
Save two logs onto your desktop and upload them with your reply
ok, here's the files. it told me i had to zip the "attach" file so i'm just sending all.
I saw that you had Avast . See if you could use the tool below to do a clean uninstall
Download aswclear.exe on your desktop
Start Windows in Safe Mode
Open (execute) the uninstall utility
If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!)
Click REMOVE
Restart your computer
Also you would want to do is uncheck everything except for the MSE program inside the msconfig Startup tab . There are some programs still running when the PC boots up . Click on Apply then Ok buttons and click on Exit without Restart and restart the PC manually .
yea i had installed avast to give it a try at faster booting, but it was just way too annoying of a program. ill try and get rid of that completely.
i know there are other programs booting on startup. i need those programs to start. are you saying to uncheck everything just for what we are doing?
Yes you don't need anything running at startup except for the MSE antivirus . We could always place a check mark back .
ok, i used the program and got rid of avast. it prompted me to reboot afterward so i did. same thing still happens. it takes forever for the network to connect.
i had a thought. after i re-installed the OS i went to the asus support website to download drivers. i wasnt thinking and clicked on the wrong location to download the drivers from and it asked me to install some kind of "akamai network interface."
i uninstalled this program after i realized what i was doing, however, under the startup tab in msconfig there is still a check box for akamai network service. i'm wondering if that is messing with something with the network?
see the attached pictures.
i will uncheck all except MSE and try it again.
Take a look at Services
Open up the Run window by pressing the Windows logo key ( ) and the R key . Inside the Run window type services.msc and click Ok button . If the service is running Stop the service . First right click on the Service then click Stop then right click on the service name choose startup type then choose Disable
TipWhen downloading Drivers off the Asus Support web page choose Global instead of Global (DLM)
