Thanks. I am not sure I understand it all, but this part certainly "rings a bell."
"... we have seen PC hangs and spontaneous reboots also being caused by this task."
I was experiencing "crashes" (reboots?) a couple of times a day. In addition, several times a day, I seemed to get disconnected. For example, my streaming quotes would stop several times a day. At one point, while attempting to solve the problem, my provider told me that I was logged into his system twice. Also, I was using AOL messenger and several times a day I would get a message that I was logged in twice.
I also find the following quite interesting, but confusing:
" In our experience Motive Smartbridge is installed by the installation CD provided by a number of broadband ISPs,..."
Interesting because when I set up the new computer, I did not use the installation CD and that is where I had the problem. However, last night I set up Verizon on my old computer with the CD and I didn't experience the problem all day. Confusing because it is the opposite of what I experienced. Weird.
Many thanks,
