8 minute connection freeze

I've just reinstalled IPv6 (advanced networking) and didn't get a freeze on
connection... This has happened before because the freezes are sometimes not
present. I'll wait and see. I'm still getting difficulty mapping my network
drives though *sigh*

Come to think of my problems started when i installed the advanced
networking pack from the windows update page. hmm maybe it did not agree
with something on my computer. i have since uninstalled the advanced
networking pack. I seem to be running fine for now.

Solved. Uninstalled and reinstalled Advanced Networking.

Only one problem now. Explorer comes up with an 0x734301d5 error on boot.

Fixed - uninstalled and reinstalled advanced networking.

Now all I get is a 0x734301d5 error with windows explorer - on boot.

Hmm Even that error seems to have sorted itself out now. Very strange.

I noticed you have gearsec.exe running on your computer. I have deleted that file, and I think I need it. Is there a way that I can get that from you?

I've been investigating my curious connection freeze for a month now. It
happens when I connect to my network or to the internet via my modem.

I have ruled out poorly configured connections. I have ruled out most of the
software. No processes are hanging and no Programs are hanging. Windows
Explorer just... freezes. I can use programs but mouse clicks are stored and
don't register for a few minutes whereas the alt-Key combinations function
immediately. It's looking like a Windows Explorer cock-up, probably a bit of
bad programming by Microsoft .

I've tried connecting with and without various pieces of software running to
no avail. This is what's in my running processes tab and yes... I've checked
what this tab has been saying while the system's been frozen. No joy there.

alg.exe
avgcc32.exe
avgserv.exe
cidaemon.exe - 2
cisvc.exe
csrss.exe
ctfmon.exe
explorer.exe
gearsec.exe
icq.exe
inetinfo.exe
ipodservice.exe
ituneshelper.exe
jusched.exe
lsass.exe
lvcoms.exe
mqsvc.exe
tqtgsvc.exe
msdtc.exe
msnmsgr.exe
nopdb.exe
notepad.exe
nprotect.exe
osa.exe
qttask.exe
realsched.exe
services.exe
smss.exe
snmp.exe
soundman.exe
spoolsv.exe
svchost.exe - 5
system
system idle process
taskmgr.exe
tcpsvcs.exe
wfxsnt40.exe
wxfswitch.exe
winlogon.exe
ypager.exe

Any suggestions - anybody? I'm certainly NOT going to pay MickeySoft £80 to
fix their own blasted bugs. If it comes to something like that, I'll dump
Windows and use Mandrake as XP Pro seems utterly broken.
