some sites really slow

Hello, My friend has been running vista since then 50XX builds and I have now started using it too. One problem we both have and I read about it on other forums that some sites are really slow to load and most of the times don't load at all. This is both in IE and FF: examples are microsoft.com (because of this windows update never completes) and ati.com and winbeta.com. This is a big issue and the only thing preventing me from really using Vista. With every build I was hoping it would be fixed, but here's 5308 and its still there. Any ideas? Cheers

Same here, there seems to be an issue with the networking stack in 5308. I have deemed this a highly lousy build and I hope the Windows Team can do better. Honestly, I say give me the XP codebase with a Vista fake Aero Glass theme from the Windows Blinds folks. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

I agree also - I've found more bugs and critical problems in 5308 than the first 5112 Beta 1 build we were given :-o

I hope Vista doesn't turn out to be another Windows ME. If it does, I know I won't be buying it. Windows ME from Windows 98 was more of a downgrade than an upgrade. I'd use Windows 98 over ME any day. "Zack Whittaker (R2 Mentor)" wrote in message

Same thing here.
My laptop and my other PC have none of these issues.

Maybe its an Intel chipset driver issue?
