When I bought my Belkin wireless (although its wired) G router and installed it for the first time, it wored fine. Played Xbox360 on it, pc was fine, etc.

Then a friend bought MOH allied assault round and I tried that online, and it was great.
Untill the game started crashing. (It WAS a, ahem, copy. So I bought the real thing a week ago)

Also about a week ago I downloaded and installed Bearshare, and downloaded one or two track. But did'nt rate it, so I uninstalled it.
Trouble is, that same day I had to unplug my router and cable modem for a while whilst doing stuff.

Ever since the pc is running slower, and my online gameplay is pants. And the game is STILL crashing, even though its a genuine article.

I have updated the video card (NVidia Geforce FX 5600) drivers, but it makes no difference. Also did a DXDIAG, and says its all ok.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Cad
Can't really help much, but from my experience of bearshare (on my in-laws pc) its a bit of a pig to un-install completely. And on my inlaws causes all sorts of problems. (None the same as yours tho')
Have you uninstalled it properly? A quick Google came up with these..

Weather pending I think mate. As far as the Cerb goes, well, it could sway either way at the moment....

Run the usual gammut of anti-virus & spyware programs recommended on here. BearShare and the whole Gnutella network in general is known as being a source of cruft that'll jam your system. The same with cracks for *ahem* copies of games you are demoing.
