    Hot Topic for Windows and Readyboost???

    Hello Everyone,

    For the past few days I've been getting two error messages whenever I try to
    connect to wireless internet. The first says "Hot Topic for Windows has
    stopped working." My internet connection goes, and when I go to the netowrk
    manager it says that there are no wireless connections available. I usually
    diagnose the problem and the system says that it's repaired, but after that I
    get an error that says "Ready boost is not working," which also knocks me off
    of the internet. I usually go through this process twice before the network
    connection is stable.

    About my system:
    -windows home vista basic, 32bit
    -all windows updates current
    -current drivers for wireless card
    -wireless router is updated
    -every diagnostic that I ran said "working properly"
    - Antivirus programs have clean reports



    Any help would be appreciated. I can't even figure out what Hot Topic for
    Windows or Readyboost actually are. Thanks

    Sounds like hardware incompatible issue. You should have an error in the
    event ID. check that and post back with any errors.
