Ever since I’ve gotten a new computer with Windows

Vista my internet has been messing up, (ie shutting down constantly) is this just coincidental, or is it Vista? No one else under our wireless interent seems affected by this.

2. click internet options.
3. click on delete.
4. click on delete all.
5. click yes.
6. click OK.

This website is going through a lot of changes lately, it is quite a slow site at best. Also this website is encountering difficulties and cuts people of quite regular as well.

What is above is just basic security for any computer, it does no harm to have and use them on your computer.
Also any firewall other than windows, is a must. Try this old post for some details.http://help.com/post/121745-i-thought-you-might-like-some-help

Hi Anthrax.

I have both, I suppose I am lucky. Windows vista is OK when you get used to using it. This one I am using for this site, runs on vista. My other computers run on XP-SP2.
I am just getting to like vista better than XP, Besides thi is the fact that slowly less and less will be suported by microsoft windows for XP, that everything is being geared towards moving to vista.
