I just purchased a dell XPS 410 w/Vista home Premium and I have IE7. Tjhe
browser is painfully slow. I would kill to have the faster dial-up. Really.
During the transfer of old files to the new PC could I have transfered
virus' or bad setting from the old PC? I have the middle of the road DSL,
but it's almost unbearable to get on the net. I have scanned my PC using
McAffee and Ad-aware and Trend-Micro home scan and they found nothing! Still
each new page I turn to on the net takes 2-3 minutes to load. Can anyone
help.

When I go from page to page its fine but from my desktop it's slow...One thing I did do however was to call my dsl isp and found an unstrable connection which they corrected. I also uninstalled a couple programs that really were bogging me down.

If McAfee is installed uninstall it. McAfee and Norton are not compatible
with Vista.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

I just spent a dreadful two hours struggling to get IE7 to work again. It was
fine earlier today, then slowed to less than a crawl, bringing down the whole
system. It finally dawned on me that the free CA Anti-Virus software that
came with this new Gateway computer might be the problem. I had just
installed it tonight, using the supposedly "Vista-compatible" version I
downloaded. It has a snooze feature, and as soon as I put it to sleep, IE7
woke up and worked again. I think I'll be putting CA Anti-Virus to sleep
permanently.
