When i launch any applications (IE, e-mail, online games) that try and attach to 
the internet i get an error box with a blue question mark in a speech bubble and 
the letters 'sdasd' at the top. There is a set of numbers in the box that rotate 
between 542042, 574328, 398539, 739493, 600082 and blank. I can't find anything that 
relates to this on the net as yet. there is no problem with local applications that 
do not access the internet.

I think that it is app, process or driver related as it does not happen in safe mode 
and the only applications that continue to work after the error is 'Opera' and 'Firefox.'

I have run Ewido, Adaware, Spywareblaster, Spybot, Hijackthis, Smitfraudfix, Stinger 
to check for malware and viruses and have found nothing. I have refreshed my motherboard 
and network drivers, run W2k repair from CD twice and even done a full re-install 
over my existing build, all to no effect.

Any advice would be helpful at this point as the only other solution i see is a complete 
format and re-build.
