Could not respond?

Well, i looked through services and nothing was disabled or not running for what i needed to do, and in the Event Viewer, the only errors ive been getting recently have been with nmap, which doesnt have anything to do with the apps im running but it does scan for open ports in the background i believe?

And for windows clean up, i may be spacing out a bit here, but is there a windows clean up program or are you saying to just run av, defrag, etc etc?

Hmmmmm, I wonder if maybe WinPcap is causing it. I've had problems with that and had to yank Nmap for Windows off of my XP box. You could try that. The only other thing I can think of is the bot(s) maybe be idling too fast on reconnect or trying to reconnect constantly and locking up. Try setting a delay in milliseconds...maybe 30. You could also script the service to "kill" itself after a successful reconnect.....that would allow it to re-initialize properly the next time around...maybe. You could post the code for a more in depth analysis...most of this is speculation to be honest. Without knowing exactly what's going on, it's a bit rough.
