Re: Problem with internet connectivity on HP laptop running on Vista

Hi
Take a look of of is running the Wireless and make sure that only one
Utility is running (either the Vendor utility, or Window WLAN Auto Config).
In addition, many Laptops come with "Loads of Junk" in the StratUp that is
running unneeded in the background (including applications that affect the
Network connection) take a look at the StartUp and remove things that you do
not need.
Get these two free Utilities (StartUp & Process Explorer).
Check what your computer is doing upfront (StartUp),

Then get this one and check what it is doing behind you back.

P.S. these utility are free and do not need even to get installed, just run
the Exe files it does not take more then few seconds.
