Please help me solve my impulse problem.

Impulse now lags to death when I start it. this first started the night I checked for the new sins patch, this is the only varible that has chsnged since then. has anyone else had this problem, have I misdiagnosed it, and is there a possible cure?

when I tried to uninstall/reinstall, it said that my connection didnot exist as I type this. firewall was disabled for the duration of the install.

Can you describe it a bit more? What kind of lag? What does the error log say? (hit the little ? button in the top right).

I suggest you uninstall Impulse, reboot your PC, then re-install from here;

Make sure you don't have any extra 'security' apps, like SpyBot, AdAware and the like.

Even some anti-virus applications can have their own 'spybot' functions, and Firewall settings.

Check your system (SysTray) for any of these 'watcher' type programs and try to turn them off, then launch
Impulse, and watch the bottom left of the window, when it is done connecting, you won't see any text there,
and you should then be able to access.

seems to have been tempoary.

For a more accurate description, when I would boot up impulse, I would never get to the point where I saw the program itself. the window would just show what ever was on top of it.

As for tha installer, I suspect connection problems because it would get to the point where it wanted to get updates, then say it could not complete the download.
