I just got a new laptop with Vista and it is awful. It seriously takes like 5 minutes to load each web page. Are there any ways to fix this and make it faster or is Vista just naturally like this?

I've had no problems with Vista

I have Vista on my home PC and I don't have any issues with speed.

 

How much memory do you have?

I'm not sure if I am looking at the right thing, but it says I am using 32 GB out of 220 GB.

I order computers with Vista all the time and the first thing I do is delete the partition, create a new one, format it and install Windows XP instead :thumb:

That's your hard drive. Try clicking on "control panel" then "system" and see how much RAM you have.

It says 3 GB, I think.

Yes this would be what I would want to do. Is that hard to do?

What kind of computer is it?

I have Vista on my laptop, have had it for a year this month, and haven't had any problems at all.

A Gateway something or other.

My friend is saying this isn't Vista's fault so maybe I have jumped the gun. He says load time isn't affected by Vista.

You would have a difficult time downgrading it then. If it were Dell, you could do it very easy.

I have no problems at all with Vista. I actually prefer it over XP, at this point.

Ok at this point I think it is something else other than Vista, just not sure what it is that makes my Internet so slow. And I use Firefox.
