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.

this is true but it is not a useful piece of information regarding my question:D

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.

Trust Me!

About Microsoft's tag line "Life Without Walls" . . . if your life was without walls . . . what would you do with a window?

Better do a full install of Windows 7.

Indeed.

As a student you can buy Windows 7 for $29.99.....WHY have you not upgraded yet??

www.win741.com

because, I don't have an external hd so I can back up certain things

Get a free account at adrive.com or similar and back your stuff up to the "cloud".

I do not trust that lol..


If there is a way I can do a clean install I do not want to lose my cs3 that was given to me for a reeally good price.

Which means you are trusting that single solitary spinning drive in your PC to not fail and lose everything? :eek: What is it with people and not backing up anything?! :dizzy2:

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.

x2, I keep about four copies of everything including a cloud copy of the important stuff.

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.

Windows 7 just installed about 2 hours ago, .... buh-bye Vista.
