I just got a new HP PC with Vista.
The Windows Mail is brutal! When I hit reply I have to wait forever
for the email to open up and I can start typing.
What's up with that?

Did you get one with the 512MB of RAM memory that often comes
with the cheap ones, or one with the 2 GB of memory Vista often
takes to run at full speed?
Also, you may want to see if HP offers any updates for your
model of computer:

Try this speedup fix:

If it doesn't help, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

I did the HP critical updates. No improvement. Still so fricking slow.
Sometimes I hate Microsoft. This is a NEW PC. This should be a perfect
computer. That's why I bought it!!!!!
