Thank you all for your help so far. I know several programming languages(Java,Ruby,Perl,etc, no C, C++, or C# though), it's just that Windows is not really my most comfortable environment, lol. I should start learning more For reference, a lot of Googling lead me to believe that it's a problem with running Ares (Galaxy) or uTorrent, or at least that was the conclusion of a few other people who had similar problems. I'm going to see if nothing happens without running either for a week, and then possibly switch software to see what works. Thanks!
