    Windows Error Message

    Your error is very generic. Give details and we will see what we can do to help you out. It is like saying, well my car won't go anywhere. Who know why because you did not say anything else about it.

    Can't find the source of latency

    Have you tried just plugging straight into the modem and see what happens. I know it will take out the internet but maybe your ISP did not set something up right at the node.

    Kaspersky and AVG Pro

    You could also check and make sure all your network adapter driver are up to date. I also know that all of Internet Security programs monitor network traffic so it installs a driver to do this.

    Netstumbler Help

    Also, I don't think NetStumbler is Windows 6.0 or higher compatible. So Vista or higher. We use netstumbler for our IT dept and we realized that it install but doesn't recognize any network cards.

    Modem connection

    Maddoq, Your post does not make much sense. I know we all want to help you at computer forums but if I understand right, you might have to contact your ISP for help. It sound more like your modem is going bad but I am not for sure because I could not understand your post that well. Sorry.

    DV9000 damaged motherboard but also possible damaged screen.

    Ram problems.

    Put both DIMMs and run Memtest. Easy way to get a copy of memtest is to just download Ubuntu live cd and fire it from there.
