Vista slow and buggy all over ...

Hi,

This is incredible .. I've installed this Vista Ultimate and my list
of problems is:

1. slow when accessing network ressources
2. fetching files from network folders are slow
3. putting files to network folders are .. slow
4. rightclicking a folder gives me 20 seconds wait before the context
menu appeared.
5. calculating ....
6. deleting a local shortcut on desktop gives me 10 seconds of
calculating ...

I've tried a lot:

I've disabled the tcp automatic negotiation (which might disturb my
router)
I've disabled the compression
Updated all drivers
Uninstalled Antivirus software
Deactivated Firewall

The result:
Almost no change ...


I'm so dissapointed in this product ..... so disturbed in my work,
wasting my time with this ... I've never been more frustrated in a
piece of software ... and more willing to checkout alternatives.

Microsoft ... your vista related support pages sucks ..

Doubtless you have also noted that Vista is time by your wristwatch slower
for all disk accesses, including program installing, copying and moving
files.
If you have tried to connect to wireless XP units you may find this
impossible or that it would be faster to burn the XP files to a CD and use
the CD on the Vista machine than fiddling with inconstant network
connections.
You may have found it impossible to stably connect to any kind of streaming
internet media.
If you persist with Vista you will also likely find that CD/DVD authoring
programs do not work or do not work consistently.
Games may not play or play too slow or choppy.
Gotta hand it to Microsoft.
What I'd like to hand to Microsoft I am too polite to write here.

Microsoft is releasing a patch for the file transfer problems next week.

I'm almost certain there's some shortcoming in your hardware.

However, note that slow network file handling is a known problem with Vista,
which Microsoft are working on. There is a hotfix you can download, but it
doesn't work universally.

I'm pretty confident it will be one of the issues resolved in SP1.

What you need to do is learn a bit about networks. My Vista wireless
connection to an XP computer will transfer files with not trouble and at
Ethernet speed.
All this depends on speed of you router of course.

You keep trying to condemn, so why do you use it and come here anyway.

I was using Vista Ultimate on my new Dual Core 2.4 GHz processor 4GB RAM,
800MHz memory, Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT video card. nForce 680i SLI
motherboard which is state of the art right now, and I had problems copying
files. Files that would take 30 seconds in XP, (same computer), would
sometimes take 6-7 minutes with Vista.

Copying files across the network were extremly slow, I could go make a
sandwich, have a glass of juice, come back and check, the damn files would
be crawling along. Heck, I could pay someone to type in the data faster
sometimes!

I got so fed up with Vista, I removed it and put XP back on and my system
just flies. Maybe when SP1 comes out, I might give it another try if I have
a weekend to waste, but to be productive, XP is my answer now.

Microsoft really screwed up on this one.

His network my be OK and still he has problems with Vista. I had problems
transfering across the network, and my network was fine. He has every right
to come here and complain.

You keep proving you're just another clueless fanboy that laughably
assumes if you don't have the problem, then nobody else does. Odd,
since Microsoft already addressed this "non-problem" with a hotfix.
Worse, the problem isn't limited to network transfers and happens even
when copying/moving files between physical drives on the SAME system.

I suggest you pay better attention. ;-)

What kind of lingo is "...will transfer files with not trouble?"

Maybe instead of trying to blindly defend Microsoft like you always
do, you'd be better off taking a class on proper English grammar.

Fanboys can't handle complaints about things broke in Vista even after
Microsoft acknowledges them with a hotfix. Remember fanboys aren't to
slick and are always slow on the uptake because of this:

If fanboys don't experience the problem, they pretend there is no
problem.
