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.

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.
