vista issues
So I have been having some severe vista issues lately. I will work online in firefox or even google chrome and walk away for 30 minutes, come back and windows will lock up. It will also do it randomly sometimes and I have to do a hard reset to get back.
I updated firefox just now to see if that helps but its also doing it in chrome and I just downloaded that two days ago. I am going to upgrade to 7 on monday to see if thats any help. Doubt it will be since it will still be a microsoft OS. |

Probably the worst piece of crap ever foisted on the US people since George Bush.

Same thing happens to my firefox with vista, but usually just closing and re-opening the browser settles it down for a while. Sometimes I have to restart it.

Better do a full install of Windows 7.

You would have to do a clean install with windows 7....but it is well worth it over Vista's horror. Buy a portable hard drive!! You can get HUGE ones for less than $100

I knew you were going to say that. Extract the license and just reinstall. If you need help, PM me. I can upgrade you remotely.

You can upgrade vista to 7. Microsoft has a tool that will scan your system for compatibility issues for both software and hardware issues before the upgrade. I don't trust it 100%, but it's a start.
