My girlfriend's brand new Dell laptop was having the exact same issue right out of the box..and it had a sticker on it that said it was made specifically for Vista!
As soon as I formatted it and installed Windows XP...problem solved..it performed like a rocket.
Not saying Vista IS your problem...but if it walks like Vista...talks like Vista...and causes problems like Vista.....it's probably Vista.  |
Thanks, Jeff. That probably explains why Win7 – basically a pimped Vista – runs like molasses (in VMware, on an MBP with 4GB).
