Just a quick follow up. It would appear that many of the US-Based site I call up, all go through the Paris1.Level3.net and then that Washington1.Level3.net IP. And it would appear to me, that the bottleneck IS the Washington IP. Because on the forum where I Admin/Mod, it runs on the same route, and also gets held up in Washington. Any thoughts, comments suggestions?

Ok, I did that thingy that MottiKhan suggested, and have now a different route, and it appears to be a bit faster, however it's still what I'd call slow. Here's the screenie of the route: And here's the Tracert part of the deal: <span style="color: #000000;"

[quote who="MottiKhan" reply="7" id="1875152"]@ M-203 - You might have already done this, but at the risk of sounding elementary, have you tried ipconfig /flushdns? It's a long shot, but perhaps there are routers between you and Stardock that are adding to the slowdowns. A new route night be a shot in the arm...

It's always been slow for me. I just did a Trace with NeoTrace Pro, and may have one reason why it's so slow: [IMG]http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/9969/traceru7.th.jpg[/IMG] Fullsize: http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=traceru7.jpg (see screenshot) my "packet" gets routed to Washington DC, but then instead of getting further routed directly from there to MI, for som

Fair enough, I guess I'll download [i]yet another[/i] codec, and see if that fixes the ones that still won't play. However, I doubt it though, because even with author specific Dreams, some will play, others will not. [b][EDIT][/b] I guess I won't download another codec. None of the ones on that page are freeware. Besides, I re-read up top here, and I DO have Vista Home Premium, DO have PowerDVD installed, and ALSO have that other codec installed that was posted there previously. So the

[quote]... If you have any programs like Power DvD you will already have these codecs installed and this won't be an issue. ...[/quote] I have the latest version of Power DVD installed since I got my Laptop, but as I said, only after installing the codec you posted, did some of the Dreams, that wern't working, actually start working. But also as said, some still do not work, I am getting dreams opening up in windowed mode, and some kind of ActiveMovie error. Perhaps a reboot will cure

Thanks a lot for that. Now I can finally use my paid GoodNightEarth.Dream and others that didn't work. I figured it was just Sony messing things up on my Laptop with thier bloatware, but no, I installed that codec, and lookee there, it runs. Still have a couple that don't work, but I can live with that.

[quote]... BTW, don't want to sound stupid, how are you updating anything from Stardock/WinCustomise without them?[/quote] Erm, downloading from the links provided in the purchase mails. And this question is now of particular interest to me, since I now have vacation, and am going to format my drive on my Sony VAIO to lose all the crap they put onboard, and install Vista Ultimate which I bought, coz Sony don't even deliver a DVD with thier Laptops.

That is a good question. @ Bebi Bulma Let's assume for a minute that one has neither SDC [B]nor[/B] Impulse, and that one also does not [I]want[/I] either of those, how then would the configuration settings be saveed? For example for an OS re-installation...
