OK, this has been going on as long as I've had Seven, but it's getting irritating. When my PC hasn't been playing any sound for about 30 secs, the on board audio switches itself off. If I then play some sound, it switches back on and works fine. The trouble is, switching on and off both yield a...

The title says it all, I just installed windows 7 and am having difficulty loading certain websites. Tracert is showing considerable latency between these websites. This isn't an issue for other computers on my network and since its a fresh install I'm sort of at a loss. I tried disabling the...
