Some time when i play guildwars, or stop playing rather, this only occurs after i exit the program, my internet stops working. Well not for the programs that use the internet and are already running, like instant messengers etc but if i try to start up something new, like a browser window, it simply doesn't load, and firefox never even shows up, other in the process tree when i push ctrl+alt+del. the only way to solve this problem has been to simply reboot the computer, and when i do mostly a window pops up saying that "ioselectwindow.exe" can't be shut down etc. i've tried to look for this ioselectwindow.exe but it doesn't seem to exist on my pc >__> and it only appears after a "gw interent crash". anyone have a better solution for this? i'm getting rather tired of having to reboot over and over again .__.

pleeease help me! i'll answer any questions anyone might want to ask about this btw

pc spec's if it matters:
intel pentium 4 3Ghz, 1024 mg ram, lots of hardrive space (forget), 256mb ati radeon 9600 xt video card, uhm, anything else?
would really appriciate any help i can get

i have been expierencing a simular problem, exept the intertnet stops working all the sudden while guild wars is running, it started after i instaled a windows update, i think it was the service pack 1. did it start after a windows update with u as well?

Perhaps it's time for you to upgrade to Service Pack 2. That may help sort it out, after all it can't get any worse and in the process you'll have a fully upto date Windows installation.

Its obviously not something with your connection. If your messengers work, Then you still have an active connection.

If you're not on SP2, MS no longer even supports you. Time to upgrade!
