hi mate -
I dont think Avast should cause too many probs unless its doing a full scan upon startup which might slow you down. Try Firefox or Opera and see if they run better to see if its a browser issue.

[RodLeach]

How many MB's / GB's of Ram does it have?

Ive heard you need at least a gig to run vista properly.


That might be total Schite, but its a possibility!

Get rid of Vista, it's a pile of manure.

You'll get a proper copy of XP Pro from your local PC bucket shop for £70

There are no articles about Opera with Vista, so i can only assume it's ok.

Right got opera now and it appears to have sorted it .......

As Andy mentioned, you'd be best off just ditching Vista completely, and using something, (and I'm trying to say this with a straight face), better such as XP.

good man - its the best and fastest browser around

Vista SP1 will be out soon I wonder if it will make any difference... then again SP3 for XP should come out shortly after!

XP will run fine on a dual core system. I think the processor controls things, rather than the OS as in the dual processor scenario. (I may be completely wrong on that, however). I installed XP on Connors dual core machine, and it runs fine.
