a great many thanks to all the forumers that have participated in this thread. i too am a victim of this "bug"... sighz :S

i have a runaround method that i used the last couple of days though, it was whenever the message pops up, i dc my streamyc connection and click the ok button.

then after a few seconds i dial the streamyx login again, it takes some time but i can get it to somehow access internet. (though there is no icon that is on the taskbar) and the sound problem i just solved with help from the forumers with the system services.

i never had this problem when i was using a router connection, but my router busted so i used a direct connection, therefore i got this problem.

hope this problem can be permenantly solved SOON.

dude, just read the earlier pages in this thread, it will explain the win32 error greatly.

really helps. haven't received it till today.. XD
