Answer #1
Install correct drivers, dissable the indexing, upgrade the hardware.
About your internet, did you install the correct ethernet drivers? Wireless internet or cable?
Answer #2
I got all the correct drivers also latest. what you mean by disabling indexing?
and I just updated everything from window vista update.
but on my device manager there’s no yellow icon marked or anything.
Answer #3
Well, no yellow icon is good.
Windows vista has a new option called indexing, it speeds up the searching for perticular files, but i’ve you have a pretty organized computer or in other words you know where to find you files, it slows down the computer, especially on a fresh install or if you have a lot of small files like mp3 files or images.
Answer #4
Internter is tricky, best things to do would be to change adsl filters if that is what you are using, do speedtests on your network.
Try use
SiSoftware Sandra
you can find version on there website or right here on .
Answer #5
How do you know if he isn’t using cable instead of adsl? Looking at the speeds he should get I’m guessing he is using cable, unless he lives in a populated area with vdsl or adsl2+
Answer #6
Thanks >kidd< and >< can you please tell me what does SiSoftware Sandra do?
I use a Ethernet cable
Answer #7
Seems to be a diagnostics tool, basicly it’s an advanced version of the windows hardware manager.
Answer #8
you could get a different OS that would speed up your pc but u wouldn’t have vista but thats not much of a big deal
Answer #9
Can you pelase tell me what is diagnostics tool going to do.
and I think my computer is good enough for vista because i have:
vista home premium
2gb ram
320 hard drive and I only used 40gb
also I just formatted my pc

Answer #22
That won’t change anything on your internet speeds. That’s like saying your car will drive faster if you put in a different cd player. Best thing you can do is contact your isp or reset your router by pulling out the adapter for half a minute or so.
Answer #23
