HI, First is it typicale to have to set network location evrytime I go on line?
Second performance is very slow and I offten have to refresh page sometimes twice.
And I lost my spell check.
I went into tools location and disabled almost all plugins, Speed was much faster but of course viewing some pics
and clips was not possable. So I enabled most everything that had a verified publisher.
So I'll quite mucking about with hopes that somone can help me
Oh and evry now and again pc with freze for about 15 or 20 secs. muzy

Is this a new PC with vista preinstalled or an old PC with updated OS?
What version of Vista?
What make is your personal computer... Compaq, Toshiba, etc?

Well I don' know, after restore PC was fast and no new page loading issues. Not even 24 hours latter PC is
slow and getting slower also have to refresh to view new page. I think I have provided all the info at my disposal. Pretty discouraged. muzy

[Jacee]

Muzy, install Avira (free version), disable McAfee ( in Services), turn on Windows fire wall and see if you are running a bit faster.

edit..... also set Roxio to manual. It does not need to run in the background at startup and hog resources.

Ok done as prescribed, no noticeable difference. Will leave everything as is and wait for new instructions. muzy
Note is is just me or spacing seems a little weird?

Hmm looks ok when posted. Must be only on my screen. muzy

Are your original problems still there? (that's the problem )

Also.. this

Thought about that for a bit, tried to run scan as admin. but got same results.
I right clicked on icon opened run as admin. but got same results.
Don't think I got that right. How do I run scan as admin? muzy

[muzy]

Well working like a champ this morning? Don't know why but is fast and no refeshing required. muzy

[muzy]

And still performing well. THANKYOU JACEE.

Will Avari offer me enough protection from everything or should I add to it, perhaps upgrade to the premium?
as far as the error 21 I will see if I can figger that out latter, happy for now. I think this thread is done. muzy
