    Yep, all of my commas... yes literally commas dissapeared in windows.

    When i go to a network connection to view the packets sent and recieved, there are loads of packets being sent but nothing is seperated by commas.

    Its not bugging my, but i sure would like to know how to get it back.

    Thx.

    so when you type commas in Word, do they vanish as well?

    How are you viewing the packets? What software are you using to do this?

    No, microsoft word has plugins and software for commas.

    And i am not using any software to view packets.

    I just double click on my active network connection and the packets show up like 48561267563

    with no commas

    what OS are you using? Where do you double click on your active network connection to get this display? I just get a "Local Area Connection Status" box if I click mine, whether I double click in Control Panel or in the notification area.

    i am using xp.
    ok

    im going to explain this again.

    when you right click on an active internet connection and go to status, it shows you the packets, all seperated by commas,

    mine arent.

    Do you understand?

    in case anyone else doesn't understand about what your talking about, why don't you just take a screen shot of the box that doesn't have any commas in it

    Oh you mean the comma separator in the packet count figure when it is over 1000. I thought you meant you were seeing the packets!

    (It's OK, Mightyed8!)

    You mean if this was your computer it would show "3 781" sent and "3 877" received instead of "3,781" and "3,877" as on mine?

    Did it previously show the commas?

    Maybe you have changed your Windows locale to one where the comma is not used in this way, eg from USA or UK to a European country?

    For example in France they use a space instead of a comma. Most non-Anglo countries use a space for the thousand separator and a comma for the decimal separator, including all of Europe except Britain and Ireland.

    I tried changing the locale and it doesnt work.

    But yes u are on the right track

    Regular packets would show as

    1,234,456

    mine show as

    123456

    with no commas and no spaces.

    Its really weird
