Re: PC freezing randomly

1 year ago, by NetworxFan in NetWorx Forum

Hello, sorry to dig up this topic but I've just updated to Windows 10 and to Networx 7.1.2, and I have to bring to your attention that Networx freezes my computer randomly after 24 hours or so, like it did in 2013 and 2015. As soon as I uninstalled it, the freezing stopped. In the old days, the simplest solution was to try choosing the TDI driver rather than the WFP driver during NetWorx installat

Yes, we know you are trying your best and that those buggy 3rd party drivers are beyond your control. Though we cannot be sure that the problem is not so widespread because it's almost impossible for a normal user to know that Networx is faulty. When the PC crashes, there's no "Networx ceased functioning" screen like most software. We get a freeze or at best a BSOD mentioning "tcpi

Thanks Andrew. I installed WinPCap and unchecked "Ignore LAN Traffic". I'll let you know how it goes (I really love Networx for it's great and discreet taskbar integration so I hope the bug gets fixed). Did you do any changes to the TDI Driver from Networx 5.2.11 to 5.3.3 ? Because the older version was stable, it never froze on me. The freeze started when I installed 5.3.3. And of co

Hello, The previous versions of Networx had a severe bug causing random BSOD when you used the WFP driver. This was supposedly fixed with the latest version (Networx 5.3.3 64 Bits) but I am 99% sure that the software is still unstable. It now causes random freezes whether I use the TDI or WFP driver. The freeze can happen after 5 hours or 2 days of uptime, but the PC ends up freezing. When t

QuoteAndrewIf the problem persists, reinstall NetWorx with the TDI driver rather than the WFP driver. It seems to have fixed the issue for other users. I can confirm that it worked for me.

I can confirm that choosing the TDI Driver has solved the problem. My PC has been running for 7 days without rebooting.

Thanks!! The TDI driver solved the problem. Would you consider removing the WFP Driver altogether? IMHO it's better to have a partially working software than a software that may occasionally crash the computer. That said, Networx is a fantastic tool. I use it for the discrete taskbar integration that shows the network activity. You can't do more simple than that !

Solution for the random BSOD

10 years ago, by NetworxFan in NetWorx Forum

Hello, some time after I upgraded to Networx 5.2.11, I started experiencing some random Blue Screens of Death. It was extremely hard to know what was causing this because it happened randomly. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes once in 24 hours. It was a nightmare. I didn't know how to read dumps so I thought it was a driver issue and I spent days uninstalling and reinstalling drivers (and waitin
