Upload speed with Vista?

16 August 2007 - 08:37 AM

My upload speed is about a 1/3 on my Vista machine compared to my XP machine networked to the same router. I tried vanBuren's upload tweak, but it doesn't change anything. Anyone have any ideas? The Vista machine is brand new.

Old Athlon 1800

I had an old computer my son was using for general surfing, etc. For about a week now the CPU fan was making noise.I was out of town for a few days and when I got back, the computer wasn't running. If the fan went, would it stop the computer from operating? I'm pretty sure it isn't the power supply as it tries to fire up for about 2 seconds, and then shuts down. Usually, if a power supply is hooped, you get no response(dead). Anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to test to see if it is the fan?

Windows XP problem ?

23 March 2007 - 01:19 PM

I went to use my computer and the graphics were all funny. I re-booted and it shows the blue screen with the profiles showing. I click on a profile and it says logging on and the theres a flicker and I just briefly see my desktop, then it says"logging off, saving your settings.. and then I'm back to the profile screen again. I can get in using safe mode and did spy and virus scans with no problem. I tried system restore but that didn't help. Anyone have any other ideas?

Is a router a good enough firewall?

I am presently behind a netgear router. Is the hardware firewall good enough or should I enable a software firewall? I know the netgear has NAT  and something called SP(?).
