| Guest | Online browsing is slow with Vista Ultimate I just got a new laptop that is vastly superior in hardware to the laptop it replaces. It is loaded with Vista Ultimate and the laptop it replaces is loaded with XP Pro. I have reloaded Vista Ultimate on the new laptop to get a fresh install without bloatware. The Vista Ultimate laptop is much slower Internet browsing with constant time outs with Firefox and with Thunderbird email. I am having to refresh pages almost every other time I got to another page. The XP machine blows this machine away as far as surfing is concerned. What could possibly be the problem? |

You should be using XP SP3 on your new machine until all of the kinks are worked out with Vista. This is a topic that has been rampant on the internet for months, so please don't ask for specifics... it is what it is. |

The SP3 service pack for XP is not available yet, and does not improve performance by the margin suggested by some people. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |
