The export isn't showing the date for your video drivers, which is kinda strange. I doubt that is causing your problems, but I would get the latest video drivers from your video card manufacturer website just to be on the safe side.

the export looks much cleaner, and as you can log into ac via ac-dc but 'lag' out it sounds more like a conection issue then ac/ac-dc.


UNLESS when you installed ac-dc the /2 directory didnt get fully copied over.

I'm telling you, it really sounds like a network issue.. I would focus on that part.

Another thought/possibility:

I am currently running the 64 bit version of Windows Home Premium. Would it help/make sense to spend the $150 to upgrade to Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate so I can download and run Windows XP mode (thus allowing me perhaps to run things like AC DC in XP like I did before on my old computer?)

If you want to spend money, just paypal it to me. Otherwise, no, there is no reason to pay extra.. unless it's to pay for a new router. I suggest the Linksys WRT54G.

If you want to test if your Router is at fault, simply unplug the PC from the Router and plug it straight into your Internet Connection (if that is possible).

In some cases, the modem/router are linked together, and you can't do that specifically. In those cases, I HIGHLY recommend disabling any "Routing" features on the modem and turn it into what they call "Bridge Mode" where it acts like nothing more than a dumb gateway.

If you can get it to work without routing, with a direct connection, then my guess is it is your Router that is the problem. If you plug straight into the internet without a router and get a public IP (an address that starts with something other than 192. or 10.) and it still doesn't work, then it might be something with your PC specifically.

I'd recommend doing a lot more troubleshooting before going out and spending any money on anything. If it isn't the router that is causing the problem, then you'll go buy a $50 router and end up wasting $50 because it wasn't the issue, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, Drakier. I did plug directly into my modem and still had the problem. So that seems to confirm that it is not a router issue.
