I'd like to, but look at your Subject title. It doesn't do any justice to point out what your issue is. Can you imagine if these boards had nothing but titles like this one? Please try harder next time.

-> "Everything seems to b fine but when i'm downloading music and using msn messenger i always seem to get signed out and logged back in all the time and its happening every couple of mins!!! its very frustrating can anyone help??"

No. Here's why. You told of some symptoms but didn't tell what you were downloading with or from. Some of the downloaders such as Kazaa carriew with it a load of SPYWARE and such will plague such an user. There is no cure for those.

Limewire harbors spyware. As long as you allow such, nothing I do can assure a smooth running machine.
