capriaddict Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Why does my brand new computer running vista struggle with the internet (it can bearly open OSF and as for youtube dont even bother ) yet my two year old laptop with XP has no problems at all using the same 8meg broadband account
Mrs O/H/C Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 IVE HEARD A FEW PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT VISTA...I USE XP AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS
sab6024 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I'm on Vista and everything is good at this end No probs with OSF, Photobucket or Youtube My other computer which was on XP picked up all manner of bugs and horses so I bought a new one
capriaddict Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Posted March 10, 2008 Its only the internet on it thats having problems, everything else is fine so far its only a few days old
bullittcraig Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 it can depend on what internet security your running. We had the same problem with a brand new dell laptop. It turned out to be partly that it was running Mcafee security and only had 256 ram of memory. Do you know what memory size yours has?
sab6024 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Pudge set all mine up and it's running lovely

ZetecVan 2.0 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Vista is crap. We use it at work. If you don't shut down every night and just suspend, it becomes very unstable and you have to reboot anyway! My advice, buy a Mac
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I'm on Vista and everything is good at this end He's my hero and can drink me under the table! That's how I ended up with the cowboy hat on

bullittcraig Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 well its not coz of enough ram then. but i have to agree with vista being crap. Hope you aren`t with aol as them and vista together are the worst.
